Akron, Ohio | Taken from a 1962 Honda Motor Cycle Instruction Book.
Translated by Honda for the American Motorcycle Rider.
The following rules for motorists are so successful in Japan, that American motorcycle riders might profitably paste them in their hats.
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.
Thank you to: George Thomsen for saving this bit of motorcycle memorabilia. A long time machinist, mechanic, and motorcycle enthusiast, from the 1950's to current.

Jasper, MO | I remember those warnings, although mine were a 1965 version (1965 Honda Benly Touring). Much the same wording.
The operating and maintenance instructions were even more entertaining.
