This song came out right after I got my first bike.

Anyone here remember the Matchless that is mentioned in the song

Well, I remember the song well enough, other than that, not much else.
I wasn't real into motorcycles at that point in time.

At the time the Matchless and Greeves were winning most of the stock bike hillclimbs, the smaller class flat track races and enduros/trials.

Reminds me more of the, obviously, Beach Boys, days and just having a great time on like a Honda 125 or something similar and taking a chick out for a ride around town along the beach. I suppose, at the time, Venice Beach would have been a great place during that time then, but now, FK that place. :sad:

I well remember this song when it came out! :space: My cousin, who was a few years older than I, was REALLY into the Beach Boys music and the 'Surfing Scene' they sang of. :space; He went out and go himself a 125 Honda,...it was my first exposure to Motorcycles.
