CB11 at the location of Easy Rider's Final Scene.

[the Ferret]

The thing that makes Easy Rider interesting to me is that while it advocated the counter-culture of the day, it made a boatload of money for a lot people. The budget was absurdly small, but it was a huge hit and made millions at the boxoffice. Hollywood, of course, took notice and proceeded to produce an endless string of truly awful knockoffs.

I've seen both bikes, although the "Billy Bike" was probably a replica. They've aged about as well as the movie...silly looking POSes that couldnt ride their way across town, let alone cross- country, without a support truck and chiropractic following behind.

And some people think the 3.9 gal fuel tank and barely adjustable suspension of the CB are bad.... Try a rigid rear end and a 2 1/2 gal peanut tank on a steep angle full of money stuffed in a tube. Lol
