My dad raised me on this song on vinyl. I'm always a little peeved that the version on the record hasn't made it on to YouTube anywhere.

(Fun fact, I actually saw Arlo in concert, two times. It was relatively recently, 4-5 years ago. His hair was whiter and his beard was longer, but his wit was sharp as ever. My dad just passed a year ago, but I'll always be glad he got to see him live.)
1997 Valkyrie- Light Cutomization, but Too Busy Riding
1980 KZ1300- Bike's Haunted
1976 GL1000 (Yellow)- Behaving Itself Rather Nicely
1974 Velosolex 3800- Better Than Walking
1972 CB750- Learning The Joys of 4 Cable Carbs
1969 CT90- The Most Fun You Can Have on 90ccs.
1965 CA77 Dream- Needs a Full Teardown, but Complete

All advice I give is only valid until an expert corrects me.
