Yes it was designed about the ultimate bike crash, all that is true but very few actually guessed the hidden truth in it. Right when the video and song start he is already dead!!!!!! The body he sees in the ditch is actually his own, and what is happening he is remembering the last few hours of his life. you never see the girl he obviously loved and his motorcycle appears in the beginning comes straight from the graveyard. So now the sinners at the gates of heaven and having to leave by dawns light and how at night when the moon is high he will return to her , A ghostly image of his last memories of life. let me know what you think. i am 78 my riding days are long gone , when this came out I had been riding most of single life after vietnam take that as you will but i know a number of bikers who know this song well and they tell the same story. thanks for reading this.
