Mettez un flic sous votre moteur / Put a cop under your tank












Mai 1968... la Honda 750 Four révolutionne l'industrie et le marché de la motocyclette (Quelques slogans de mai 68 /some slogans of may 1968 student uprising)

Ze "gonzo" notation of Ann O'Neem:
On this photo you can notice two of the major symbols of the year 1968: The first one is the slogan written on my friend's tee-shirt, it reminds me of May 68 students' revolution. The second one is the bike that stands beside.
Year 1968... Honda 750 Four, also, revolutionize the motorcycle industry and market...

Here are some slogans of May 1968 students uprising in France like the one used for the title: "Mettez un flic sous votre moteur" literally translated in English as "Put a cop under your engine", but in reference to the original Esso advertising , the right translation should be "Put a cop under your tank"
