The Marketing for Honda's Old CT Trail 55 Was Awesome

I love everything about this old marketing video for the Honda 1962 CT Trail 55. It's just the best. And it goes to show you that since the advent of powersports machines, folks have been using those machines to go further into the deer woods and go hunting. Even when those bikes are pint-sized motorcycles like the CT Trail 55. 

I also love that the title card reads, "Presented as a public service by American Honda Motor Co." I mean, who else would it be presented by when the film's title is literally Hunting with Honda? Harley-Davidson?

But the whole film is such a product of its time, as well as a testament that you don't need a full-sized ADV or 450cc dirt bike to get out into the woods to go hunting, that you can't help but love it. I mean, hunting with a CT Trail 55 seems hysterical, especially when you see the rifle holster strapped to the front of the bike and not on the hunters' backs.
