Don M Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 "I don't wanna a die, I just wanna ride my motor cy...cle." A line from an Arlo Guthrie song in 1968 (The Motorcycle Song). I don't ride a motorcycle, but I can still appreciate the sentiment. I have been spontaneously singing that lyric at any moment, even in the middle of a conversation. It is the best part of the song.

laban Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Don, I know my husband can relate. He has a big HD Electra Glide out in the garage that he's dying to ride and says all the time, he's just not ready to stop having fun. We talk about getting rid of the boat, RV, motorcycle and other toys and it's hard to talk that way because that was our life. Keep on singing.........

trish2418 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 You darn kids and your motorcycles! Just keep the noise down while I'm listening to Melanie sing "I've Got a Brand New Pair of Rollerskates (You've Got A Brand New Key)".

Welthy Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Hmm... reminds me of Jethro Tull's "Too Old to Rock N' Roll, But Too Young To Die." (Another biker song) Although I don't believe one can EVER be too old to Rock n' Roll. So let's do the time warp again!! Smilin' Don!

twodogs Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I've still got my '84 XR-250R which I switched to from an RM-465 when I retired from dirt bike racing in 1984, (is that a duh? moment). One thing I do every summer is clean it up, start it up, do a couple laps around our two lots and pretty much winterize it. The thrill never goes away but I hardly have the weight and/or energy to kick it over anymore. And this time of year, every year I drop down to the Harley shop and check out the new Sportsters. I'm tellin' ya' it just don't go away. Scratch the itch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I love Arlo Guthrie and that song, I also like 'Good Morning America', and Alice's Restaurant. It's always fun when they play 'Alice's Restaurant' on Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When times get tough, this tune from the 70's plays over and over in my mind....maybe you remember it.

ursol Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Don, I have never ridden on a motorcycle because I was paranoid of getting hurt. Isn't that Ironic. Anyhow, if I get the chance now I would love to ride on a Harley. Lilly PS.

barbara5452 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 For me and test times I seem to hum and sing in my mind, Doris Day "K sara sara what ever will be will be the futures not ours to see K sara sara" And when I get the report I wanted it's Margaritaville Jimmy Buffet.
