Title: motorcycling songs
Post by: SIR REAL ED on August 20, 2025, 06:50:30 AM: Inspired by Bulldog9,

There are many different kinds of course, those with a version of motorcycle in the title or lyrics, or the kind you play in your head while riding.

Lets "hear" them!

Post by: Huzo on August 20, 2025, 06:35:39 PM: I think it depends on which mood you wish to convey.
There’s angry stuff like metal, the ubiquitous “Born to be Wild…” and other interminable offerings. But the stuff I like is Bob Seger introspective stuff like “Roll Me Away” or Robert Plant’s “Big Log”. They are the ones for me that interweave the emotional bond that has been built during “lonely” midnight rides and such.
I (obviously) like this one. The opening song is what I thought of at the time in Norway.

But the closing song although different in its message, still conveys the feel.
https://youtu.be/jQn7_EtIhUg?si=vfW67UiIZSZwvgJ0
Then there’s
Credence “Up Around the Bend”
Harry Nilsson “Everybody’s Talking”

Strangely, most of the good (for me) bike songs, have nothing to do with bikes…

Same here. It's the feeling Bro, not the lyrics.

For me, the feeling is independence, escape, speed, movement, etc.

Fortunately that hasn't come true.
