Dedicated to Fred and his biker friends from Ontario and Quebec members of the "Southern Cruisers Riding Club", who crashed at my house this summer after participating in the Run For Dads...

Just Shut Up and Ride


by: Felix L. Perry


 

 

The heavy machines roll back onto the roadway

Throaty unmistakable rumble of the biker’s song

Its lyrics an invitation to the world of the road

The chorus “Just shut up and ride!” loud and strong

 

Black leather boots with worn round heels drag the tar

Men and machine with nothing to hide

Leather creased and chaffed worn thin in places

Cracks and snaps to the chorus “Just shut up and ride!”

 

Click, click, and click, changing gears one by one

Chrome and paint reflect the spotlight of the sun

Rising crescendo as man and machine reach speed

“Just shut up and ride!” echoes on one more run

 

The men and the machines the freedom of time

Wrinkled faces of sun burned leather in pride

Just the right key they set the tone of freedom’s flight

One more time sing the chorus “Just shut up and ride!”


 


Just Shut Up and Ride!


Felix

KnucklesHead of FatBoy, no the fancy ones of today with all the trims and luxus appendages, just your butt on that leather and your feet away from the mean exaust pipe, no windshield, and to know where you are, a crude wooden arrow with fading colors pointing to the next town and for you to guess how many miles.
Yes, shut up and ride!!!

there is an incredible freedom associated with the open air, another reason to shut up - it keeps the bugs out! LOL....

Thanks Bro, the words you write convey the feelings of what we're about. Give me a wide stretch of road, following a river and I'm in my glory.

Thanks again for everything.

Wow, does this bring back memories. Most of my "drove my mother crazy" youth was spent on the back of a Harley. To me those were the best of days. You did a great job on this one Fee. Just what we've come to expect from you.
Hugs,

There are Bikers and then there are Bikers~~
Some just love to ride for the joy of it, and fellowship with the mates, others have a more sinister motive in mind...Apocalypse NOW!!
Kind of mentality..
