Story Behind The Song
Played in a band that had a gig for a 'biker party' (Hosted by the "Road Saints"), and I noticed the girls/women associated with the club had a very unique attitude and presence about them. The "Road Saints", appeared very Hells Angel-ish, but were extremely nice and giving. The women of the club, came across as sleazy and dirty, but had a sort of appeal to them. The experience of this gig inspired a generalization of biker women in my mind.
Song Description
A fictional story of the type of women that are drawn to, and immerse themselves in the culture of the motorcycle clubs of the 60's & 70's. These women are strong, loyal and faithful to their man, yet, stand up for themselves and are thought of as easy and dirty by the general public.

Lyrics
MOTORCYCLE MAMA
She was a motorcycle mama ~ born to raise some hell
Her old man is a greaser, yea, but she don't mind the smell
Well now she's the type of woman who never gets enough
She's got a tatoo on her titty says "DISCO SUCKS"
Well I don't ride no Jap Suzuki, no don't ride no Yamaha
Don't give a shit about a Honda, only Harleys' got it all
Well now she's the type of woman who never gets enough
She's got a tatoo on her belly says "I LIKE TO ..."
She was a motorcycle mama ~ born to raise some hell
Her mold was made in heaven, yea, but you could never tell
She could be the type of woman who always gets enough
If she rode with Harley riders with their black leather stuff.
