Default How to ride a motorcycle

HOW TO RIDE MOTORCYCLES
1962 Safety Rules from Honda

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

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 smoothingly 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.

After giving due thought to the above post I have come to the following
conclusion;

The orginal was Japanese, then translated by a British subject, then reworked by an American, then a French Canadian presented it.

As a western Canadian, I have now placed an order for a horse.

Should I tootel with vigor to the skid demon? Would that scary him? What about the festive dog that makes sport in roadway or would the wandering horse have tootel it first?

Default What about the lost updates? ..Here they are

#16: When encounter is made with Gixxernut; tootle the horn vigorously. Do not make eye contact with dreaded Gixxer rider.

#17: Maintain vision of RowdyRed in rear mirror; do not allow him to overtake as you may discern frightening odor from rider.

#18: When approaching Pinhy, do not scoff at either rider, M50 or any of their parts. Pay no attention to rider's lack of helmet; tootle once with authority and overtake, giving wide berth.

Anyway.... you get the idea.....
