Ode to Daytona

On Daytona I do charge
Across desert, green plain and mountain large
My passage announced by thunderous bellow
Make way there! That's a good fellow.
Onward Daytona

She tosses her head and rolls her eyes on me
"Let out the rein", says she
No holding her now
Must show her strong legs to all of thee
Onward Daytona

Few are our numbers
Our band of brothers
We hold the fort
Of fantastic transport
Onward Daytona

Thanks Brad. Just got her back today after the 6,000 mile maintenance, carb cleaning and rejet. Runs wonderfully and such a pleasure I thought I would pen a poem on the spot.

Well done JohnD, Haiku at 9500 rpm. I truly feel that's what lacking here, a poetry forum, a place where us sensitive souls can express ourselves. It doesn't always have to be sprags and dynojets. Come on mediators....show some heart

Nice JohnD

I like to think that Chris Rea was one of us

Diamond dream when the sun don't shine
I close my eyes to see
Twelve wild horses in silver chains
Calling out to me

Oh Daytona
Shine your light on me
Oh Daytona
Shine your light on me

Now she ain't easy
so you take good care
Or she will scream down on your lust
She can please you like no other
Or she can leave you eating dust

Oh Daytona
Shine your light on me
Burning passion heat my day
Let me sit inside your wonder
Cloudless daydream,
oh dance of dances
To have tamed the sound of thunder
Oh Daytona
Shine your light on me
Oh Daytona
Shine your light on me
