That's not what I hear when I ride. I usually have Anthrax's "Death Rider" going through my head. They think this song will sell bikes? If I had known before hand, this may have turned me off buying the bike.

Pretty lame.

I'm all for Judas Priest while riding, espescially "Killing Machine" and "Running Wild." Social Distortion is good, too, espescially "Boulevard" and "Sick Boy."

Running Wild lyrics:
move as fast as I can
I like to get around
I'm crazy like a madman
My feet don't touch the ground
I move amongst the night life
And they just step aside
Cause when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild

Dead or alive there's nothing
That bothers me at all
I take on all comers
They back off or they fall
They raise their hands to stop me
I laugh and I defy
Cause what's the point in living
Unless you're living wild

No chains can hold me down
I always break away
I never hear society
Tell me what to do or say
I taste the life that pleases me
And raise a storm for all the world to see
I never stumble, never fall
Never stop for rest
I rebel but I walk tall
And I demand respect

I move amongst the nightlife
And they just step aside
Cause when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild

I'm running wild
I'm running wild
Get outta my way
I'm running wild
I'm running wild
You better believe it

Sick Boy lyrics:
Sick-boy, in his faded blue jeans
Sick-boy, black leather jacket scene
Sick-boy, he's always in trouble
With the law don't ya know...

Sick-boy, he carries a switchblade knife,
Sick-boy, likes to get into fights.
Sick-boy, he'll go drinkin'
With the boys all night long.

[Chorus:]
Sick boys-ohwayoh
Sick boys-nananana
Sick boys

Sick-boy, rides a big motorbike,
Sick-boy, combs his hair up just right.
Sick-boy, with tattoos up and
Down his arms, don't ya know...

Sick-boy, he's got a girl wrapped around his arm,
Sick-boy, with his street-like charm.
Sick-boy, he'll make love to her
All night long, don't ya know...

If this is too long, let me know and I'll kill most of it... or you mods can do it! Whatever.

Death Rider lyrics:

Riding hard, high in the saddle
Winged steed of unwearing flight
Sweeping through air just like fire
Swift of the foot, great of might

Hear the screams
Feel the bite
We ride with death
Tonight

Here it comes
You better hide
Shoot the guns
You're gonna die

Conquering all, spreading terror
Hoofs gallop in thunderous pound
Devouring the souls of the wretched
Trampling them down to the ground

Gripping the reins of destruction
Made of steel on his hands
Holder of forces immortal
Slaughtering all in his path

Sounds like one of the monsters Judas Priest sings about! Couldn't find the Hondell's song...

It's a shame Suzuki is sooo far off base with that song, makes you wonder what age group they are trying to attract. I usually have Deep Purple's "Place in Line" running through my head while riding. Another one that I like to hum is "Going up the Country" by Canned Heat. Could always pull a Richard Petty and sing along with the engine rpms while biting down on a towel Cheesy

. The song of a big thumper is sweet music to my ears.

You know, that's still not the worst I've heard in relation to motorcycles. I walked into one of the local Yamaha shops and nearly ran back out again. They had one of those boy bands playing. You just don't expect/want teenie-bopper pop playing. Kinda ruins the feel, methinks.

As for what's in my head? "Freebird" or "Red, White, and Blue" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Occasionally Motly Crue, the Cult, or Steppenwolf.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid in broadside, used-up, worn out, and defiantly shouting 'Geronimo!!!'
