THREAD REVIVAL ALERT!!!

Yup I am guilty but I wanted to add another song I always find myself singing whilst I ride!


 

Oh and a classic!!

 

Then another of my favorite bands
Black Label Society

No stereo No Ipod...I just roll n think n listen to the pipes look at women.then I do it all aver again...roll n think n listen to the pipes look at women...roll n think n listen to the pipes look at women...roll n think n listen to the pipes look at women
RandyLoe...Ride Strong...

First and foremost, Back in the Saddle Again-Aerosmith, next, Sweet Child of Mine-Guns-N-Roses, Wanted (Dead or Alive)- Bon Jovi, Desperado-Eagles, I Can't Drive 55-Sammy Hagar....That's just a sampling. But almost always, I start with Aerosmith. Now, if I could only figure a way of doing it legally....RIDE FREE
Tweek (it's because I'm on a Sporty)

Don't much listen to popular music & usually wear ear-plugs

But gad, this one is always playing between the ears

i sing my own song... it's actually what i call my "Prayer Song."  It is similar to the Native American chants.  I don't know what language the words are.

BUT... my  motorcycle theme song is  "Born to be Wild... "  what else! 

Still born by Black Label Society, I dont like the drugs but the drugs like me Marilan Manson, All american nightmare Hinder, anything by Black Sabbath, Pantara, Slip Knot, Motley Crue

Radar Love by Golden Earring! Just try to stay under the speed limit. I double dog dare yah!

Magic Carpet Ride...Steppenwolf is great listening.

 Lots of songs run through my head when I'm riding but there is one that tends to surface more then others when I get on the highway and can really let loose on the throttle. Mother Revolution's Sky High.

this is a silly video by Muse but the music is awesome. The driving drum beat sounds like a horse's hooves. Great music by a great band. If this doesn't get ur blood pumping, you need to check ur pulse.

sorry but I couldn't get it to embed.

I don't have tunes on the bike, but I normally find myself singing one of three songs...

Born to be Wild, On the Road Again, and since we normally leave on trips before the sun comes up... as I ride through the chilly canyons I find myself singing Here Comes the Sun as it pops up over the hills.

My favorite riding song...


Kid Rock. All Summer Long!

Flirtin' With Disaster by Molly Hatchet is another one that comes to mind

That's really funny about "Then Came Bronson"! It is the reason I have a bike today also! I wonder how many of us from that era were affected by that show? I now live in CA (grew up in Jersey) & after I got my scoot, the first place I wanted to ride was up the coast highway & across the Bixby Creek bridge in Big Sur, that was the bridge he rides across in the credits, it is very cool! Unfortunately the coast hwy is closed right now due to mudslides, but anywhere up that way is a great ride, very scenic! The song I always hear in my head while riding (no tunes on my bike) is "Surfing with the Aliens" by Joe Satriani, ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well some days I feel like Bob Seger Music, some days I feel like the sound track to Easy Rider, and then some days when everything seems to go to shit I kind of fell like this.......................................................

Doobie Bros. "Don't stop to watch the wheels". . . "I was trashed. Ridin' on my 74." Classic road rock.

There are a few that rattle around in my head.
1. Arlo Guthries, Motorcycle/pickle song (now that I typed it, it’s in my head)
2. Ballad of easy rider by the Byrds,
3. Roll me away, Bob Seger
Those are the ones that come up there may be some others but they only come to mind if I hear them before I go for a ride.

There are so many....the west coast sounding instrumental from Wild Angels, Born to Be Wild from Easy Rider, definitely Long Lonesome Highway from Then Came Bronson (that show changed my life forever) but also...Ghost Riders In The Sky...the Outlaws version...fast and gritty!
