The wheel deal

shake the motorbike as you pull away
just so you know nothing will sway
tap the brakes
first the front, then the back, to avoid a later heart attack
slow your approach as the barrier lifts
then exit through nice and swift

1st, 2nd,3rd, you fly, scenery now whizzing by
4th, 5th, 6th red line, now your movements you must confine

for here you are at Idiada Circuit
secret test ground
here to work it
speed rated to 300 miles per hour
not a place for shrinking wallflowers

this is a speed bowl
banks so high
now that you are at full speed
your wits about you you will need

come into the first low lane corner
watch the revs rise as you do
rev limiter will cut the ignition
now you drift from lane one to two

as you exit the first corner
near 200 miles per hour
the wind it blows to try to unseat you
steer into it if you know how

ready now for the next corner
take the banking feel the G
you slingshot around in an instant
once again you feel free

this is the life of a test rider
many a year I did this task
I found the limits
took the tumbles
but in this life you can not last

so next time you ride for your pleasure
and you smile as you ever harder play
remember the skin and bone
I have shed for you
so you can safely
enjoy yourself this way
