The sign actually means that a sidecar must not be allowed
to detach from the motorcycle.

The symbol is telling riders not to "lay it down" to avoid a crash.

That's not a bike. It's a stooped old man with high-waisted trousers.

The placement of the X is funny. It could be a warning about hemorrhoids
(did I spell that right? too lazy to check) when riding on a motorcycle for
too long.

Maybe it means motorcycles and cars cannot share the same space?

But it seems to be on a rural building where it wouldn't matter...

Still guessing and getting it wrong. Give up you old fraud, you've
never been right your whole life.

over a stump.

700 Main St. in Vancouver is in Chinatown, which is right next
to Skid R-- ...oops, in Vancouver they don't say "Skid Row",
they call it the "Downtown East Side". That name conveys
more dignity.

The western portion of the former Skid Row has been rebuilt into
a fashionable district known as "Gastown".
