translated for the "American Motorcycle Rider." Hilarious! I especially like the part about the 'festive dog.'

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 tight, toodle the horn
trumpet melodiously at first, if he still obstacles your passage,
tootle 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.


Yep, that's it. For the rest of my life I will no longer honk the horn but toodle it. That is simply amazing, lol.

"There lurks the skid demon". Great. Thanks for that - now I am going to start seeing some hairy beast with fangs in my formerly pleasant motorcycling daydreams.

I'm not exactly sure but the more I hear it just sounds like a way to get arrested in public.

Japanese language derived from Chinese, so they do have hard time learning English and speaking properly in China. A Czech can learn English in no time, but not most Asians due to different linguistic roots.

My parents tried to translate from Vietnamese to English and vice versa when they came here decades ago, the phrases sounded funny

here are a sign in Japanese hotel for English speaking clients

* Our maids are available, please take advantage of them
