Motorcycle Theme Song!

  • July 20, 2010 12:23 PM PDT
    I know when I roll down the road I have a lot of shit rolling around in my head. I have no stereo because I'm just not interested in a bagger and plus I love the way my bike sounds as I roll down the road!
    So I always have this recurring song that goes through my head as I ride...

    Desert Plains by Judas Priest!

    Post a youTube vid on your profile!! I'm going to give it a look / listen if I can find one.

    I like hearing my bike too. Riding clears my head. Sometimes Santana plays in my head... lol.

    Nice looking ride B.

    There are many, many songs but the top is this one. I just have to be on the right road for it. Long sweeping twisties are best to drag the floor boards on especially towards the end of the song when the guitars really get to kicking ass...
    This may seem wierd but I actually get a rush after

    Rex I agree, When I am on the shovel I seam to sing songs with rage involved in them, favorite may by Born to Be Wild, Enter Sandman, Ohio, One way Out.
    When I am on the Roadking I have a more calm attitude and sing folk songs' I almost cut my hair (which i did shaved it bald) The night they tore old dixe down and stuff like that.

    Rex, Green Grass And High Tides is one of my favorites, whether I'm on the road or not. I've got a couple of buddies in a band, that just plain play the hell out that song. Thanks for the listen.

    I don't listen to music while I'm riding, but these are a couple songs that go thru my head sometimes; I just really love the sound of the bike as I go down the road.

     Lou Reed: Walk on the Wild Side...especially the part that goes:  Hey Babe take a walk on the wild side: and the coloured girls go doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo etc:

    And  Willie Nelson: On the Road Again

    Lordy !!! Can't tell you how many times that "On the Road Again" tune has replayed in my head when tooling down the asphalt. Maybe I need to get an iPod .. at least then I'd have more than one tune. LOL

    I know!! Sometimes I don't have anything rolling thru my head, but there are times when I wish it would stop~!!!!!
