The airplane veered off of the runway during the landing roll and collided with an airport sign. Upon touchdown on the runway, the airplane veered to the left. As the pilot added power, the airplane became airborne. It then landed on a taxiway and collided with a runway sign. The main spar was damaged in the accident sequence. A mechanic examined the airplane and did not find a mechanical malfunction that would have resulted in directional control problems. The pilot said there was no control interference from his front seat passenger.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during landing.
