Are you possibly thinking of Arlo Guthrie's "I don't want a pickle?"...

CHORUS:
I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want to die
Just want to ride on my motorcy...cle

It was late last night the other day
I thought I'd go up and see Ray
So l went up and I saw Ray
There was only one thing Ray could say, was:

CHORUS



and which includes the line (at least in the long, talking version...)

"I came into town, I jumped off my bike, the bike went around
the corner by itself, went up on the stand by itself, turned
itself off."
