I just happen to come across this video on utube. Del McCoury singing .....1952 Vincent Black Lightning. Its got some great fiddling and mandolin.

What other motorcycle music does everyone like?

Old Doobie Brothers tunes are pretty good bike music. Throw in some Johnny Winter and you've got a party.

It’s called “the last race” and has been in a few movies. It’s funny how tastes can change; I enjoyed the vid you posted! I never thought about or liked that style of music until I heard Ralph Stanley sing “man of constant sorrow” Cool Cool Cool

I had not watched this in a quite some time, after I did I had to watch it again. It's funny and the music is great!

Would the Allman Brothers be fitting? Or would that be some bad gri-gris? Hmm.

I, myself, am a little partial to "Machine Head". Needle? What the Hell is a needle? Are you a diabetic? Good nite, haven't heard that phrase in at least 20 yr's.Showing your age 1961. Very Happy Sorry, the Doob's went south with the 'mo M. McDonald. Just can't get around a song about his boyfriend.

Steely Dan sounds good, Sabbath , Hendrix anyone familiar with Railroad Earth kind of rock bluegrass great music and words.. I'm mostly a hippie when it comes to music.

Explicit warning, contains obsene language! If you are under 18 or easily offended, please do not click this classic song from the great Australian 90's band Machine Gun Fellatio:

funny , I still remember it in black & white from when I used to go to the Ace in my Dads sidecar in the sixties...I pop down there once a year Its crawling with Harleys & sportsbikes now except on 'theme night' such as triumph day or 'classic day' ..
The film was The Leather Boys..Did you recognize Dudley Sutton (the tall curly blond actor) who starred in Lovejoy and many films & TV dramas right up too today ?
y uncle Bill swears he was an extra in the film riding his Royal Enfield 250 caf racer..

Ahh, Deep Purple's Machine Head, that sure brings back the memories. That album used to be part of our standard cruzzin' music collection back in the seventies. You had to be careful listening to Machine Head though, because after a few tunes it was real easy to end up doing 100 mph in a 50 zone without even realizing it.
