Volks,

Tomorrow being Fryedaye, and today being not - and my expecting to be
out of town on Frydaye - I thought I would stretch it a bit and post
this, rather than sit on it another week.

Could be a stretch, but Vanagons could be affected as in line 5,  I suppose.

Enjoy!!

*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.
