Actual quotes from 1962 Honda Motorcycle owner's manual

I just got this from my best Ducati friend:

 

"Festive Dog" would be a good name for a band...
So would "Skid Demon"

Yeah, quite the hoot! But, by most Japanese service manuals of the time,
Honda's were pretty good. Having cut my teeth on Nip bike manuals, I've
seen the worst. Kawasaki manuals were pretty bad. It was a real pain to
see a reference to diagram/picture No. n and discover the actual graphic was
switched with another 6 pages over. Bridgestone manuals were all but
unreadable, by anyone. Yamaha manuals were some of the best. Ah, the
memories.

Not only are they funny, but there are all very good advice.

So were the owner's manuals. I had a '79 Kz550, and the part that covered
rear shock adjustment said (almost verbatim) "Please adjustment equally to
avoid evil machine over the bump".

No shit!

Once again, excellent advice!
