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

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but found this in a suggested playlist on Spotify

 

The second verse is better when the drums and rock guitar kick in.

 

Blowin Free---Wishbone Ash

 

It'd have to be Surfing with the Alien, by Joe Satriani, for me.

 

i did a bike video with that as the soundtrack, can't remember which vid it was though

 

For me it has to be this one
(11) The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up - Official Promo - YouTube

 

Pour moi :-

 

Fire by Kasabian. Just stuck with me since seeing Closer to the Edge

 

I think the one song that sums up my motorcycling experience is
Supertramp playing It's Raining Again.
Have I mentioned that I'm a glass half empty kind of guy...

 

Just this! It has to be this……

 

When I'm in the mood



Or this



Or this

 

Rush, Spirit of radio, possibly cos I’m reading books by Neil Peart at the moment, his motorcycle journeys during his concert tours were epic. Verse two captures it for me.
“Off on your way hit the open road
There is magic at your fingers
For the spirit ever lingers
Undemanding contact in your happy solitude”

 

How about:

Well, I clearly go for longer rides than you ladies. My play list reflects my stamina.

 

Well, obviously Pink Floyd is a given. Especially wish you where here’. Not you obviously, I was referring to the music.

i’d also have Genesis (after Peter Gabriel) and mostly the live albums with Chester Thompson bashing the drums with P Collins.

 

Nothing. I ride to clear my head and decompress. All I need is the sound of the motor and the wind.

 

Having a quiet day @Cyborgbot ?

 

I go for long rides too, and have playlists to match. The title of the thread asked for a song, singular.

 

Not sure what the problem is, one song for each ride
