learned it on the history channel

"You meet the nicest people on a Honda" was hondas first ad slogan for the first motorcycle they produced...seems to me that for the most part its true...

Also, Mr Honda used to be a race car driver...he crashed...and started making motorcycles. He came to america wanting to sell 5000 units a month...he did. Oh yeah...and Mr Honda dropped out of college.

One last thing: The best selling motorcycle of all time is the Honda 50.

Yeah...but damn him for putting Indian bikes out of business using a design they'd come up with 10 years earlier. The original Honda bikes were kinda cool though...but ironically the Indians are much more valuable.
