ORIGINAL: pococj

and the all-time greatest ridin' song...

Roll Me Away - Bob Seger

Yup, best riding song ever! Song about a man jumping on his bike (assumed to be a Harley) and taking off for the wild yonder. Lyrics talk about; heading "out to my big two-wheeler," setting "a bead on the Northern Plains," "looking out over the Great Divide," etc. etc.

Another great one is "Unknown Legend" by Neil Young. This is a song about a gal riding her Harley through the desert...you might say, just the kind of gal that would like to hook up with the fella from Bob Seger's song.

Also, just about anything by Tom Petty, AC/DC, and of course the Nuge, would have to be on my list. "Stranglehold" can be used to keep you awake after too many hours in the saddle.

How about:
Can't Get enough of your Love by Bad Company
Legs by ZZ Top
