Bob Seger featured this on his little known album "Back in 72". He wrote it during a tour when he was riding from gig to gig on his bike, encountering long lonely roads and hostile locals who took offence at his long haired biker appearance. Often goes through my head on a long ride.

You could probably post any of the songs from the iconic Easy Rider movie as classic biking songs but this is my favourite.

Not a lot of actual driving in this one. :D

Tip of the hat to the writer of the song though, the late, great Tony Joe White. :thumbup:

In case you break down and need a tow. A bunch of boys from Oz have what you might find useful.

For those with a love for old American metal, from one of the finest albums ever made (which to my amazement seems to be 50 years old) I give you Ol' 55. No video, sorry.
