What One Song Best Captures How You Feel When You Ride Your Bike?!

These are my two all time favourites from Alex Harvey.

Interesting thread. Thanks for kicking this off!

Not one tune written after 1990, tho? No hip hop?

Let’s face it, we are old! ;-)

For me it’s Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion” or Sublime’s “What I Got.”

But hey, I’m old too

 

With most of the bikes I've ridden this song is never far away.

 

Thanks for this thread, I've now got a fantastic playlist for the Bose system in my shed, I downloaded the music in FLAC ( Free Lossless Audio Codec) an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed without any loss in quality.

 

Me and the guys in the band do passable versions of Faith Healer and Midnight Moses so those are in my top 5 toooooo pure class.

 

Got to go with this...

 

What, no-one gone for QOTSA?



I better not get into 2nd and 3rds... I’ll be here all night

 

Judy was 16 playing an 11 year old...

“Lions, tigers and ducks... oh my!
Lions, tigers and ducks... oh my!
Lions, tigers and ducks... oh my!“

 

Can't say which one makes me feel like riding my bike but I can say riding my bike breaks me free of being a rat in cage -

 

Got it - Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of Voodoo Child , Standing next to a mountain, chop it down with the edge of my hand.



And the most classic driving / riding song - Golden Earring, Radar Love

 

One for the Doctor S., figured it might be in your genre wheelhouse.

 

Nice Video, I could watch that on loop for hours But those girls are far too old for Mr Glitters taste

 

On the road again Willie Nelson.

 

This song is often in my head when I'm riding or driving long distances and it never fails to remind me of taking I-10 E from LA to Phoenix as a first real ride on my new (to me) GL1200E in February 1989.

I'd heard this song on one of the rock FM radio stations in LA and hadn't heard of the singer but managed to buy the album on cassette and played it more than a couple of times on the 400 mile journey that kicked off the second part of my stateside odyssey! The rhythm of the highway indeed!

 

Napoleon XIV: 'They're coming to take me away'

 

Surprised this hasn't made an appearance

Saw them in Oxford about 35 years ago.
Drinking from a can of GTX, happy days
