Humor for the holidays...

Taken from a 1962 Honda Motor Cycle Instruction Book. Translated by Honda
for the American Motorcycle Rider:

The following rules for motorists are so successful in Japan, that
American motorcycle riders might profitably paste them in their hats.

1. At the rise of the hand by Policeman, stop rapidly. Do not pass him by
or otherwise disrespect him.

2. When a passenger of the foot, hooves in sight, tootel the horn trumpet
melodiously at first. If he still obstacles your passage, tootel him with
vigor and express by word of mouth, warning Hi, Hi.

3. Beware of the wandering horse that he shall not take fright as you pass
him. Do not explode the exhaust box at him. Go soothingly by.

4. Give big space to the festive dog that makes sport in roadway. Avoid
entanglement of dog with wheel spokes.

5. Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon. Press
the brake foot as you roll around the corners, and save the collapse and
tie up.

And may you all ride safely in the New Year.

Say, news...I thought the above paragraph was the funniest......just
think back in 62, the Hondas were just getting popular over here. So,
some brite eyed bushy tailed advertisement guy, thought ahhhh, this will
impress consumers, to wanna buy a Honda. Do you remember the main
slogan back then about Honda Motorcycles? It was: ''You meet the nicest
people on a Honda''<><> Also it's funny in the above paragraph about
''profitably pasteing the Japenese rules of riding in thier, what? Hats?
Hats????'' that's so hilarious.

<>Happy Holidays<>Bjay,.
