From the Owner’s Manual for a 1962 Honda Motorbike
Dear Honored Customer, we staff at Honda
Express great gratitude that you have chosen
Our 50 cc motor-bike, to wander
From desert sands to arctic tundra frozen.
Before commencing engine, please inspect
With dip-sticks, trans and engine lubrication
Amounts; in likewise manner should be checked
That battery filled up to saturation.
Then test all horn and lights for operation,
Observe to watch the brakes to stop both tires
From any sign of movement or rotation.
Check gas-tank full, tight cap to ward off fires.
Put helmet on, plus goggles for own safety;
Mount bike, try get good feel of all controls.
Put trans in N, then turn gas-cock and key;
Kick starter smart, rev-up when engine rolls.
