An excellent choice! That's definitely on par with Radar Love by Golden Earing, too.

I really want to ride to classical music at one point or another. Mozart piano concertos, Beethoven's symphonies. Hell, even Trans-Siberian Orchestra stuff would be awesome.

some other good stuff would be most of Radiohead's earlier work (OK Computer and prior) as well as pretty much every Toadies song. The Tribes 2 soundtrack, by Timothy Steven Clarke, would make me go WAY too fast though. :)

"Roll me away" and "Against the wind", both by Bob Seeger. Listen to either one of those before you throw a leg over, and they'll run through your head for hours as you're riding. :thumb:

The original release of "Little Honda" was in 1964 by the Hondells. That's the tune that hit the Billboard Top 40.

The Beach Boys "covered" the song later.

GO!

I'm gonna wake you up early
Cause I'm gonna take a ride with you
We're going down to the Honda shop
I'll tell you what we're gonna do
Put on a ragged sweatshirt
I'll take you anywhere you want me to

First gear (Honda Honda) it's alright (faster faster)
Second gear (little Honda Honda) I lean right (faster faster)
Third gear (Honda Honda) hang on tight (faster faster)
Faster it's alright

It's not a big motorcycle
Just a groovy little motorbike
It's more fun that a barrel of monkeys
That two wheel bike
We'll ride on out of the town
To any place I know you like

First gear (Honda Honda) it's alright (faster faster)
Second gear (little Honda Honda) I lean right (faster faster)
Third gear (Honda Honda) hang on tight (faster faster)
Faster it's alright

It climbs the hills like a Matchless
Cause my Honda's built really light
When I go into the turns
Lean [Tilt] with me and hang on tight
I better turn on the lights
So we can ride my Honda tonight

First gear (Honda Honda) it's alright (faster faster)
Second gear (little Honda Honda) I lean right (faster faster)
Third gear (Honda Honda) hang on tight (faster faster)
Faster it's alright

First gear (Honda Honda) it's alright (faster faster)
Second gear (little Honda Honda) I lean right (faster faster)
Third gear (Honda Honda) hang on tight (faster faster)
Faster it's alright  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :flipoff: :cheers: :kiss3:

Knowing you it'd be the Erie Canal song  :laugh:

I got a mule her name is Sal, 15 mileson the Erie canal, she's a good ol worker and a good ol pal, 15 miles on the erie Canal.



And you'll always have a neighbor, you'll always have a pal, if you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal.

Either that, AJ, or you'll always have a pal if you've ever had a Nimbus 2000.
