Motorcycle Songs
So this post is a mixed blessing. Today we received around a foot of snow and I snowboarded all day. It's bitter, however, because it means at least another few weeks before the motorcycle season starts. That sort of bums me out, so I'll have to drown my sorrows in sweet sweet Jim Beam and motorcycle songs.
Also -- it's just a really good excuse to post my current favorite bands motorcycle song. The guy in Baptist Generals plays the guitar the way it should be played -- like a drum. Fuck yes.

Sailcat had a 'one hit wonder' called Motorcycle Mama...the last line in the song was "...and we'll see the world from my Harley, if the chain don't break.",lol.
Wow, Sailcat. Not to be like every other commentor and point out stuff you could add, but, well ... Neil Young has a few to consider, "Natural Beauty" chief among them. And then there's Motley Crue's "Girls Girls Girls".
Also, no motorcycle song list is complete w/o Richard Thompson's "1952 Vincent Black Lightning."
Otherwise, great list! And I am enjoying the 50 states rundown. Refreshing to see a lot of newer, recent stuff on there that wouldn't be as familiar to an old fogey like me.
OOPS! That Neil Young song I attempted to reference above is actually "Unknown Legend" (my mind was obviously somewhere else when I posted that yesterday...).
Yo La Tengo does a much smoother rendition of "Speeding Motorcycle," fyi
totally obsessed with "motorcycle midget" and now i'm looking everywhere trying to figure out what album it's on. couldn't find it on the sparks discography. where did you get it...does anyone have any info to share?
thanks!
ps
"smoother" versions be damned. DJ's original is perfect.
pps
go see "the devil and daniel johnston"
You left out "Vincent Black Lightning" by Richard Thompson...An almost unthinkable sin!
