The roar of its mighty engine
Settling down upon its seat
Gripping the handlebars so gently
Chromed pegs will hold my feet
A twist of the throttle I now give
My bike surges to life this day
The wind pulling at me as I roll along
Free on the highway I stay
I see the blacktop pass beneath me
Broken white lines become a blur
The sun beating down from the heavens
I listen to the engines steady purr
I feel the heat of the day as I ride
Other bikers surround me as I go
The freedom of the road we travel
Only they will be able to know
I am cooled by the wind as I travel
Enjoying natures beauty as I ride
The joy of being one with nature now
Fulfills me deep down inside
People wave as we pass them by
Little towns e now travel through
Winding along a mountain rode we ride
No life worries, we enjoy the view
A twist of the throttle I give for more power
The chromed engine gives it to me
As if it knows the pleasure I feel
Riding long and hard and being free
One day there will be no more riding
As age will surely see to that I know
I take the advantage that my life gives me
My motorcycle taking me where I want to go
The day has come to an end way too early
Our bikes line the street side by side
We sit and talk over a welcome meal
Glad that we all took this ride
