Thought for the Day

[rocketman]

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.

What a scream!
RM :D

I had an old BSA lightning whose carbs needed ticlkling, but I dont think I ever tootled a horn! ;)

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

Some places have traffic cops instead of traffic lights. If the cop puts his hand up, it means stop.

5. Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon.

Well, as the Aerostich t-shirt says: "Wherever there is sin, there I must go!"

:evil

Power into the grease mud, run over the skid demon, throttle out of the curve, stop on the other side of the mud hole, and collapse from laughing at the ones that failed to do so! That's me and my 1150GS...hehehe :D
