THE EON RIDERS
"WHY WE RIDE..."

WE DON’T RIDE TO BE COOL, WE DON’T RIDE TO BE TOUGH,
WE DON’T RIDE TO INTIMIDATE, WE DON’T RIDE TO BE BAD,
WE DON’T RIDE TO BE DANGEROUS, DON’T RIDE TO BE GREAT,
WE DON’T RIDE TO MAKE A STATEMENT OR TO REBEL.
BUT THEN WHY DO WE RIDE?

WE RIDE:
CUZ’ WE CAN.

WE RIDE TO BE OURSELVES, WE RIDE TO BE FREE,
WE RIDE TO BE PROUD OF WHO WE ARE,
WE RIDE TO FEEL THE WIND IN OUR FACES,
WE RIDE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR OUR ENGINES,

WE KNOW THAT THE ONLY THING SEPARATING US FROM

THE ROAD IS OUR IRON HORSE, SKIN AND BONES,

BUT NOT OUR ROOF, DOORS, AND WINDSHIELD

THAT SOME HIDE BEHIND AS TO SHOW

THAT THEY DO NOT WANT TO SEE OUR PROUD FACES.

OUR PRIDE.
OUR DIGNITY.
OUR HONOR.
OUR BIKES.

OUR FELLOW BIKERS ARE OUR BROTHERS,
OUR FRIENDS, OUR COMRADES.
THEIR ROAD IS OURS, OURS IS THEIRS.
WE ARE INCORRUPTIBLE,
PROPAGANDA AN ENEMY,
POLITICS NOTHING.

AS LONG AS THE PATH IS THERE
AND OUR BRETHREN NEAR,

WE WILL RIDE,
CUZ’ WE CAN.
