I\\\'ve actually figured out how they got the nonsensical gibberish on the \\\"MOTO\\\" sign featured as the page image. And it\\\'s utterly ridiculous how they ended up with this.

If you take \\\"MOTO\\\", add 128 to each byte, and then decode that as Shift-JIS, you end up with \\\"ヘマヤマ\\\". And I\\\'m sure there\\\'s \\\'\\\'some\\\'\\\' kana font out there that puts the kana at x-128 so they\\\'re accessible via ASCII keyboard.

Still doesn\\\'t explain why it\\\'s \\\'\\\'backwards\\\'\\\', though...
