 Signs in parking lots "Next Weekend--700 
Motorcycles!!!" could also hint that maybe one ought to ride someplace
else that weekend.

****LOL - signs wouldn't have helped me the one time motorcycle race was on in 
the Sam Houston National Forest as I don't park at the motorcycle parking 
areas, but even though our group was caught on the windey single-track when 
they started coming, I wouldn't have thought about sueing anyone if my then 
neon green gelding had dumped and hurt me or himself.  As it was, it turned out 
to be a lot of fun.  The bikes came in groups of 8 and when we heard a group 
coming up behind us, we would all leap off the trail and wave furiously to let 
them know they didn't have to stop or slow for us (most of the dirt bikers in 
this area are very polite with the horses).  As soon as they passed, we would 
jump back on trail and haul butt after them (goal was to get to the forest road 
crossing so we could go a different way).  General not only didn't develop a 
fear of dirt bikes after this, he got into the spirit of the "game" and would 
eagerly chase after them when a group had passed.  All
in all, it turned out to be a good training exercise.
