 * Delete I have never heard this expression. The definition seems to be very subjective with some songs by a band Bike Rock and others not, and some bands rejected by some bikers. I am sure there is something to this concept/expression but not enough for its own article. Maybe a section in Biker culture about musical tastes? Northwestgnome (talk) 04:26, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable neologism, per nom and per Northwestgnome. Handschuh-talk to me 06:02, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep or Merge The page is poorly written and in general a bad example of the genre but the genre certainly exists and in fact Bike Rock compilation CD’s are sold usually the heading of “Classic rock, motorcycles.” So perhaps it needs a section there instead of its own page. I am usually the type to fix a poorly written article rather than delete it. Also on a second note it is important to spell the names of proposed deletions correctly otherwise you just send out a dead link. PeRshGo (talk) 09:06, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete unreferenced neologism. Selling CDs called Bike Rock is merely a marketing ploy.  ~DC  Talk To Me 23:04, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete the only reference provided just mentions Steppenwolf, I could find no other references. The article says that the genre is also known as 'trucker rock', not sure why I'm mentioning that but I guess it seemed relevant when I started typing. Sorry for digressing...does not meet WP:GNG J04n(talk page) 03:43, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete agree with DC. Genres of music are already complicated enough and having this "good drinking music" genre with none of the listed bands linking to this page is useless. Peppage tlk  20:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
