Edwards Nippon"s cycle makers made the docile, quiet, and the staid; With Honda's 55cc their first produced in quantity. Creating seekers of the thrills attached /.c ridiDg "in the hills'; Made lovers of the scenic ride through byways-dotted countryside. Such modest looks and mini-speed unsatisfied our Yankee need, So larger cycle 2's and 4's began arriving on our shores. Tempted those with" throttle wrist" with urgings they could not resist, Whose poor control, excessive speed dumped careless rider-damaged steed. Through advertising that emerged the many young-in-heart were urged, To savor fully the delight of inexpensive 2-wheeled night. Others chose, in sordid prideunhelmeted, unkempt, to tide; Creating for sane riders too the trarnished image of these few. The Public, judging what it sees Wide-ranging this approach /.c fun of motorcycling devotees, that offered almost everyone, Such choice of bikes, alluring ways- Must be convinced we're larger those whose best behaviored manner shows. by which to yield to cycling's craze.

Early teens or twenties it was really hard to tell But he rode a motorcycle and that labeled him pure hell He went to work for Elmer ove tat the country store And sometime during the evening he fixed old Widow Perkins' door He stayed down by the ocean just away from it all Not bothering anybody, having himself a ball. People couldn't understand him, they said he was odd, Living outdoors an' surviving off God. But they couldn't make him angry although heaven know they tried. They accused him of stealing, then they said he lied. Everyone was against him because hr rode a bike There had to be something wrong with him because they'd never seen his like. Three weeks he stuck around, changin' something everyday Doin' nothing bad but being good in many different ways. He finally rode away from /.cwn in a heavy puring rain, Tall and lean wi thout a frown, just the way he came. From time to time you still can hear the township people say, "M'aybe he wasn't too bad an' he'll return someday." But the lone motorcycle rider is still movin' down the road: Just changin' people's thinkin' an' bearin' all the load: No one knows his name or how it all began: But if he ever comes your way be sure and shake his hand.
