The sun is up, the day′s begun

Extensive preparations done

My gloves are on, the visor's downAnd sudden thunder shakes the town

There′s not a single cloud up in the sky

Exuberance is justified, it's just anticipation of the ride

Leaning till my footpegs scrape

I'm flying low without a cape

In close formation with my friends

Strafing corners, curves and bends

The twisty mysteries must be untied!

Flashing through the countryside

Reaching for the apex of the ride

Don′t know how I′ll possibly describe

Better ones than me have often tried

Metaphysicality aside

Machine and human being so unified

It doesn't matter where we go

A scenic journey, long and slow

Or tape the lights and trailer down

A racetrack date on hallowed ground

We′ll bend our knees and worship when they slide

Brake so late we'll see the light

Reflecting the perfection of the ride

I really can′t ignore the trend

I know that someday this will end

A final ride when worlds collide

Or if I lose my way inside

Play this song for me and try to light

A memory to make me smile

Of every friend and bike and mile

And help me power through the other side

In pure appreciation of the ride
