    What is the best motorcycle song ever?

    Ok, so lets put together a CD of motorcycle-related songs for the rally...

    What are the best motorcycle songs ever?

    these guys http://www.motorbikemusic.com/cdmotorbikemusic.php seem to have some idea, anyone got any others?

    Perhaps someone with more than dialup would care to make it for me, otherwise I'll find em all and make a CD.

    You could always get Radio Hauraki to market this for you and collect a royalty for having thought of the idea in the first place!

    meatloaf's bat out of hell is about a motorcyclist's last few moments of life, It probably deserves to be included just to remind us of the frailty of human life and stuff! It's a good song too

    Definitely! And what about "All fired up" by Pat Benatar. Or "You Aint see nothing yet" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

    What the hell is "The Pickle Song"? Or is it an old persons one? Must be if Kickaha knows it

    All that just goes to prove my point: there IS no "good" motorcycle song.

    Ah Generation Terrorists. An awesome album when it came out. Back when James Dean Bradfield was just angry and not so depressed.

    My favourite track off that album was always "Stay Beautiful" Would have been a great track live.

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
