1962 Safety Rules from Honda

[TonyB]

Saw this today on the EXUPbrotherhood web site:
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 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.

Now I know where I've been going wrong all these years, I'm forever exploding my exhaust boxes at horses!

[Storm]

I shall take these words of wisdom on board and always remember to apply them to my riding, especially preventing entaglements with spokes

[bugjuice]

May all of you take note at this gentlemans posting, and be merry and gay on your way

I should think it's simple enough for say, 20%, of Yanks to understand

[pritch]

I'm forever exploding my exhaust boxes at horses!
