In that case he'll need a lot of luck, and $6,000 worth of performance upgrades, to not get caught by most everybody.
By the way, the Apple iTunes store just came out with a iTunes motorcycle music mix with about 75 tunes on it. Most of the tunes you guys mentioned are on it.

Now who could forget Allman Brothers " Midnight Rider " ?

".......nobody's gonna catch the midnight rider ......"
( unless his igniter goes out )
"( unless his igniter goes out )" 
And btw Wade, I'm glad you brought up "Midnight Rider" here.
Ya see, for a while now I've been wonderin' if some folks might think "the best" version of this song might be Gregg Allman's solo version of it he recorded a few years later?
What do ya think, folks?...

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Just like Dwight said, and the first post on the youtube link:
The song is "The Weight".

NOT BIKER PER SAY BUT, WHAT ABOUT MITCH RIDER DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER HIM AND THE DETROIT WHEELS??? HE HAD SOME BADAS SONGS THAT ARE GREAT TO LISTEN TO WHILE RIDEING. "DEVIL IN THE BLUE DRESS, AND SPINNIN LIKE A SPINNIN TOP OR JENNY JENNY JENNY?"?? SOME BAD TUNES!!! JUST ABOUT ALL MICHIGAN ROCK AND ROLL IS BIKER FRIENDLY, ANYTHING BY MARK FARNER OR GRAND FUNK RAILROAD, MC5, TED AND SEGER OF COURSE BUT LISTEN TO JUST ABOUT ANY ROCK AND ROLL FROM MICHIGAN AND IT TENDS TO BLEED BIKER. EVEN KID ROCK HAS SOME PRETTY GOOD TUNES TO LISTEN TO WHILE RIDEING OR WILL MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT RIDING. WONDER WHY THAT IS??? 
Man, I can't believe anyone remembers Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, and the MC5 
It's true, most old Detroit Rock is perfect for riding too, don't forget the Stooges!
