Though this song was written on another shore, people around my neck of the woods like this kind of pickin' too.

What the heck, it's a song about motorcycles, what's not to like.  :-D
Hope you enjoy.

I just saw the Del McCoury Band band at Summerfest about a month ago.  This song always chokes me up, and while it's a Richard Thompson song, Del and the boys bring a whole new Southern vibe to it.

Great song - one of my top picks.

Check out the Emmylou Harris song "Red Staggerwing."  All kinds of motoring references including a Vincent Rapide.

Ah - Richard Thompson, a national treasure for sure. Here's another of my favourite car/bike tracks. Jo Dee Messina, Silver Thunderbird

I enjoyed the song---but I enjoyed real song of the megaphones of the new record holder on the short course much more  :cheers:
Miss LIBERTY,  changing T.K.I.  to noise, dust, rust, BLUE HATS & hopefully not scrap!!

You sir, are a man of considerable taste  :-D  I lived around 15 miles from the Vincent factory when I was a kid and used to cycle there to press my nose on a window that always had one or two on display.

What does a land speed racer call dual exhausts? :?

A stereo sound system. :-D
