I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Really?: Didn't expect that song to pop up here! I watch that video now and then, but it makes me miss Japan...

 Here's one I remember hearing on AM radio in my brothers 55 chevy on the way to the World Series of Drag Racing at Cordova Dragway. 1966 yes, I am that old. Relaxing.

Sorry Scunny, but that strikes a nerve. >:( I had a friend that was approached by the Mongols in 2002, who feared they were more interested in his bike than having him as a member, and a week or so later there was a riot between the Mongols and Hells Angels in Laughlin, Nevada. I had other friends that were in Laughlin when the riot happened. There was also a biker found dead along I-40, on his way back to our home town. To hear a song that glorifies scumbags doesn't sit well with me.

To be fair, and I dont know any better for sure, but I dont think Hank III was thinkin anything about the Mongols mc when he wrote that, nor was there anything pertaining specifically to any mc that I heard in the lyrics.  The video was apparently posted by Mongols or some supporter.  How they got around youtube copyright rules I don't know...not even really a Hank III fan, but still don't see any connection.

This version is much less offensive to me. ;D
BTW, this made me remember something from 1981. I had a roommate when I lived in the Bay area of California, a gal with strawberry blond hair and an ample chest, who had been given the nickname of Big Red. She went to a Hank Jr concert, and ended up in his hotel room after, but she was pissed off that he was too #$%*ed up to do anything. ::)

Not a Friday goes by for me without listening to one round of Black Betty from Ram Jam. Unfortunate they didn't get the huge stardom I think they deserved. Their self title 1977 Ram Jam album is filled with hit after hit. Guys were talented.
