Their biggest hit in the Netherlands in the 1990s. The song's about a Hell's Angel friend of Earring lead singer Barry Hay, Ed Wijnhof, who died in a motorcycle accident. One of the most successful rock bands in Russia, Aria, had a hit with a Russian-language cover of this, but the Russian fans posting on YouTube seem to agree the original is better.
Editing to add the best YouTube video I could find of the black-and-white music video, shot in LA by Dutch photographer and filmmaker Paul de Nooyer (or Nooijer):
Editing again to add, in case you aren't familiar with biker slang, that a "run" is an organized ride.
