perhaps I am cliche, perhaps it's because it's been a travelling song in our family for decades, perhaps it's because I just saw Willie a few weeks ago:
YouTube - Willie Nelson - On The Road Again - ACL 2006
"On the Road Again."

My two favorites:
Oldie: Get Your Motor Runnin by Steppenwolf (I may not have the title exactlty right). Best line = "Get your motor runnin, get out on the highway, lookin for adventure or whatever comes my way." Doesn't t that say it all!
Recent: Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris, the title song from their All the Road Running album (song by the same name). Best line = "I'm your man for the roamin as long as there's roamin allowed."

This one by the Eels
YouTube - God Damn Right ( its a beautiful day!)
Mr. E's Beautiful Blues
The smokestack is spitting black soot into the sooty sky
The load on the road brings a tear to the Indian's eye
The Elephant won't forget what it's like inside his cage
The Ringmaster's Telecaster sings on an empty stage
un huh God damn right it's a beautiful day
un huh God damn right it's a beautiful day un huh
The girl with the curls and the sweet pink ribbon in her hair
She's crawlin' out her window 'cause her daddy just don't care
(Come on!)
un huh God damn right it's a beautiful day un huh
God damn right it's a beautiful day uh huh
The clown with the frown driving down to the sidewalk fair
Finger on the trigger let me tell you he's quite a scare
uh huh God damn right it's a beautiful day uh huh
God damn right it's a beautiful day uh huh
The kids flip their lids when their heads hear that crazy sound
Their neighbour digs the flavour still he's moving to another town
(and I don't believe he's comin' back)
God damn right it's a beautiful day uh huh
God damn right it's a beautiful day uh huh
And I don't know how you're taking all the shit you see
Yeah, don't believe anyone but most of all dont believe in me
only you
God damn right it's a beautiful day uh huh(only you)
God damn right it's a beautiful day uh huh
God damn right it's a beautiful day uh huh
God damn right it's a beautiful day uh huh

Read more about Grant & Susan's story
Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
