1952 Vincent Black Lightning- Richard Thompson

Yeah, it's not about our beloved SOHCs- but it's worth a look. It's chilling.

 WARNING: To all the metal heads, this is a folky kind of song. But you have to respect this guys guitar playing.

Richard Thompson, without question one of the greatest guitarists I've ever seen :)

Hey, that was awesome.  What a great song and musician...

That one's new to me.  I'm laid up with the flu so the motorcycle inspiration is especially appreciated.

Yeah! I saw him once (by mistake, actually) and was totally impressed!

Plus, you just can't beat the subject matter :)
