HE MODERN MOTOR CYCLE unquestionably provides one of the
most healthy, economical and pleasant means of transport. In
addition, by reason of its superb braking, high power to weight ratio and
ease of control it is, if used with due care, one of the safest vehicles on
the road.
It is our sincere desire that every owner should obtain from his mount
the service, comfort and innumerable miles of low cost travel that we have
earnestly endeavoured to build into it.
It must be borne in mind, however, that although of simple design and
construction, it is nevertheless a highly specialised piece of engineering
and must in consequence be intelligently and efficiently maintained in
order to provide unfailing reliability.
In this book we provide non-technical instructions for carrying out all the
maintenance operations likely to be called for in normal service, together
with assisting illustrations.
To owners of long experience we tender apologies for the elementary
nature of some of the contents of this handbook, but owners, whether
novice or expert, are advised to read the contents from beginning to end.
We are at all times pleased to give owners the full benefit of our wide
experience in matters relating to motor cycles of our manufacture and
elsewhere will be found details of the particulars required when making
enquiries of our Service Department.
T
Safety on the Road
N the interest of Safety on the Road, a few words of warning will not
be out of place.
The outstanding manoeuvrability of a motor cycle over most other
vehicles on the road makes it necessary to exercise caution at all times.
There are, unfortunately, a few motor-cyclists whose reckless driving
constitutes a menace not only to themselves but also to other road users
resulting in the totally false impression in some quarters that motor-
cycling is a dangerous pastime.
REMEMBER IT IS NOT THE MOTOR CYCLE THAT CAUSES
ACCIDENTS, IT IS THE MAN WHO IS RIDING IT.
Take a pride in your riding technique and never rely upon the other
fellow doing the right thing.
Your example of careful and courteous riding will materially contribute
to road safety and to the reputation of a fine sporting pastime.
NO ACCIDENTS PLEASE
Your motor cycle, as issued from the factory, is fitted with an efficient
silencing system, and with careful and unobtruse driving, particularly
in built-up areas, will not cause annoyance to the general public.
Owners who interfere with the silencing system by removing the baffles
are purely exhibitionists and such conduct can only bring motor-cyclists
in general into disrepute.
