It is on the left as it should be. Looks like the bike has veered accross the road to collide with it. More practice is required to perfect technique; off a main road perhaps.

grain Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 reminds me when I got my first mc back in early 1960s, made a date with a gal and picked her up at her house, as we took off on my mc I accidently "popped a wheelie" and about 100 yards up the road I turned around to say something and she wasn't there, she was sitting on her ass in the road way back out front her house. Fortunately it was a very quiet street and she wasn't hurt, but from memory the relationship didn't blossom past that one date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its obscure and like 'popping' its somewhat arcane for 'headline English' I envisage an old balding writer/hack completely out of touch with the modern world but trying to be trendy thus putting 'sedan' and 'popping' in an English language headline.

In America, 'sedan' is the commonly used name for what we in the UK would call a saloon. And, of course if you were to ask an American what a saloon was he would inevitably tell you it's somewhere you go for a drink. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Sedan and Saloon just seem incredibly old fashioned terms to describe cars. I can't imagine people under 60 using such terms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I drank pop as a kid..I understand the multiplicity of uses of the word pop especially as phrasal verbs but in a head line some English words don't seem appropriate but I like this noun phrase lol Arizona-otter-pop http://onlineslangdictionary.com/meaning-definition-of/arizona-otter-pop 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
