How to Ride a Motorcycle

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.

Honda have come a long way since 1962.

 

For the Australian market, they have now ammended these instructions to include vigorous use off the middle finger. if tootling the horn trumpet dose'nt work:laugh:
