    The way some people's minds work, it makes you wonder. I foolishly admired Larry's coaster in this thread. Next thing you know, he sent me this bandaid saying "stupid hurts Honda":




    The hell? I never thought of Honda as a stupid company. Quite the contrary. True, I've never owned one of their lawnmowers, airplanes, robots, automobiles, rototillers, snowblowers, etc. etc. etc. But I have owned a Honda outboard and generator, and a long series of motorcycles including CT90, CB170, 300 Dream, CB450, CX500, V65, GL1200, 909 Hawk, and I dunno what else. Each and every one of them was mechanically solid genius.

    Okay, so the company does have a completely inane mission statement, starting with the fact they spent a ton of money cooking up some other foolish phrase so they wouldn't have to call it a mission statement:

    Positioning of Fundamental Beliefs, Company Principle, and Management Policies

    The Honda Philosophy consists of Fundamental Beliefs (including "Respect for the Individual" and "The Three Joys"), the Company Principle, and Management Policies. This philosophy is not only shared by all associates, but also forms the basis for all company activities and sets the standard for the conduct and decision-making of all associates throughout the Honda Group. Driven by its dreams and reflecting its values, Honda will continue taking on challenges to share joys and excitement with customers and communities around the world to strive to become a company society wants to exist.

    Uhhh.... okay then. Blah blah blah. But what the frick, mission statements are sposed to be idiocy, aren't they? Been my observation. I don't hold that against old man Honda. He prolly got bad advice from American yuppies.

    In fact, I've got a motto of my own for Honda: "Soichiro, the people's hero." Here's the cat who took the common man off of his water buffalo and put him, all his brood, and a huge basket of chickens, on a Honda Cub puttering down a muddy jungle trail en route to market. A hundred million Cubs out there. Think about that. Soi's feat puts Hank Ford absolutely to shame. To shame. Ford popped out fifteen million Model T's and he's an icon. Honda's Cub sold six or seven times as many and still going strong. The People's Revolution? Mao came and went. Soichiro remains. If the Nobel Prize committee had any integrity or substance at all, Soichiro Honda would come in first hands down, way before some Gorebull Warbling scammer who lied his ass off in a scare movie. The People's Hero. Plus, he won a bunch of motorcycle races.

    Yeah. So. I don't see it. At all. Why would Larry send me a bandaid sticker saying "Stupid hurts Honda"? 

    That and a handful of old black and white pictures of ... Hondas? No! Moto Guzzis! Zat got ta do withit?






    The way some people's minds work, it really makes you wonder.
