    Top 10 songs for bikers... according to The Guardian

    National newspaper ‘The Guardian’ - perhaps not known for it's biking affiliations - has polled to find the top 10 biker songs.

    The list is as follows:

    1. Born To Be Wild - Steppenwolf
    2. Midnight Rider – The Allman Brothers
    3. The Living End- The Jesus and Mary Chain
    4. Ghost Rider - Suicide
    5. The Motorbike Track - µ-Ziq
    6. Unknown Legend - Neil Young
    7. 1952 Vincent Black Lightning - Richard Thompson

    8. Speeding Motorcycle - Daniel Johnston
    9. Motorcycle Emptiness - Manic Street Preachers
    10. The Barber Feel it - Dr Alimantado & Jah Stitch

    No place for "Golden Age of Leather" by Blue Oyster Cult? Or Chris Spedding’s "Motorbiking"? Or even the classic "Funky Moped" by Jasper Carrot?

    Where did they get that list from, probably the posers who sit outside cafe's and pub and only ride the 600m from home to there and back.

    You know who I'm talking about, clean helmets, leather jackets, squared tires and grey hair. Guys around my dads age

    I would have thought the highest ranking Blue Oyster Cult song in that list would be "Don't fear the Reaper"

    You know, I never thought of it as a biker song. I came up with "Golden Age of Leather", as it is a song about a group of aging bikers, who go out for one last classic ride...
