NOTE: Adjust mirrors so you can see a small portion of your shoulders in each mirror. This will help you establish the relative distance of vehicles to the rear of your motorcycle. Those lawyers a Buell sure have a sense of humor | ||

"Changlessmove" Brilliant! so you can be careful of "Abecedarian"? "Lapidarian" Where is this gem studded road? Good to avoid, yeah, but I want to see it. I used to collect old Japaneeeese motorcycle manuals. Before they got good translators. The best is Suzuki's "Electrical Works & Equipments". If I read aloud the explanation for how a points ignition system works, it causes a zen confusion, but, in fact, if you listen, it makes more sense than Chilton's ever did. "Control the speed freely" guys! | ||

My old Subaru manual (1983) said "if check engine come on, just try to find a qualified service personnel." Apparently finding someone qualified was harder than it looked. | ||

A friend of mine pulled up on an old (but *very* cool honda... it was cruiserish, but had a ancestor of the interceptor engine in it, greats sounding V... It did, however, have a plate stamped on the frame that recommend you replace the tires with the stock "Dunrops". No joke. It'd be entertaining to learn how the english manuals get butchered overseas... | ||

I remember reading in my Duc 900SS manual ('96 model): "The frame is of trellis construction. It is the best because we are very good at it." 'nuff said I think  | ||

"Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon." (Honda rider manual, 1962) that is AWESOME!!! | ||

Also from said 1962 Honda manual 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. | ||

I have a .jpg somewhere that refutes the Honda source. My copy says it was a literal translation of the Japanese Road code by US Forces after the war. I think it's legit - It makes more sense than Honda getting it so wrong. | ||

A few years ago I had a set of Yamaha saltwater wave runners. There was a warning sticker on it that stated something akin to "The main waterjet will cause injuries if aimed at your genitals" My first thought was what the hell happened for the lawyers to require a sticker. Is this some new fetish I am not aware of? | ||
