“Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon”

Supposedly this was a literal English translation of an old Japanese motorcycle manual.

Is there any possibility that this is really a direct translation of a published manual or is it just an old internet rumor?

If it’s true, what does it look like in Japanese? I ride a Japanese dual sport motorcycle in the mud quite a bit and I think this would make cool / funny tank graphics if it’s true.
