    I listen to all kinds of rock/blues on me bike....but when i'm riding in the U.S one song i always have on my mp3 is Willie Nelson...Train they call the City of New Orleans, it just seems to fit long American roads. I once went thru death valley and i swear i repeated that tune 20 times....to me its like an American Anthem.

    Rory, "City of New Orlean" is one of the top ten ever country / folk songs ever written. Below is an excerpt from Wikipedia about the song writer Steve Goodman.

    ...Goodman had been busy writing many of his most enduring songs, and this avid songwriting would lead to an important break for him. While at the Quiet Knight, Goodman saw Arlo Guthrie, and asked to be allowed to play a song for him. Guthrie grudgingly agreed, on the condition that Goodman buy him a beer first; Guthrie would listen to Goodman for as long as it took Guthrie to drink the beer. Goodman played "City of New Orleans", (original lyrics) which Guthrie liked enough that he asked to record it. Guthrie's version of the song became a Top 20 hit in 1972, and provided Goodman with enough financial and artistic success to make his music a full-time career. The song, about the Illinois Central's City of New Orleans train, would become an American standard, covered by such musicians as Johnny Cash, Judy Collins, and

    Willie Nelson, whose recorded version earned Goodman a posthumous Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1985....

    "Get on your bikes and ride !!"--Queen. Even though it doesn't pertain to Motorcycles it's still a good song. the title is bicycle race but I like the line.

    My wife and I share an iPod....I'm too embarrassed to say what rocks me out sometimes, but my friends don't know me when her music hits and we're both singing. LOL....

    All of the above are great songs, but the song I sing before a ride is the "Motorcycle Song" by Arlo Guthrie.

    "I don't want a pickle, just want to ride my motorsickle"

    Think I posted this earlier (but don't feel like going back and looking). When we get an early start on a ride and freezing just waiting for the sun to come over the mountains, I can't help but to start singing Here Comes The Sun as soon as it peeks over the horizon.

    Of course I don't know the words so it's more of just - here comes the sun, do do do do da, here comes the sun do do do, its all right da do do da do do da do do... over and over!

    AT my age things have changed some. I'm kind of partial to "Bag O' Bones" by Guy Clark these days......"There's a lot more standin' here than whatcha see".............And I'm sittin' tall in the saddle...............still.

    Peace
