Slaid Cleaves took an old phrase and turned it into a country-music classic and an unexpected regional hit in 2000. At one point that summer, you couldn't drive around south Texas without hearing it on the radio. https://youtu.be/O8u7CVVmybU The "Broke Down" album can be downloaded from Amazon here.

I really like this video about a couple of pals on motorcycles touring Arizona, California, and Nevada, including Route 66: https://vimeo.com/42322087 Music is by Mumford & Sons.
“Born to Be Wild”
This swell remake of the Steppenwolf motorcycle classic is by The Cult, circa 1987: https://youtu.be/ZswHjqKGqFo The song comes from The Cult's "Electric" album, where producer Rick Rubin wanted largely an AC/DC sound. (Amazon download of the album is here.)
