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.

The original Capt. America bikes were either wrecked R stolen so no U did not see the original.
Could not agree with you more. Also the riding shots were done at about 30 miles an hour from angles that made them look like they were going much faster. I think I learned about that from the special features on the DVD.
The locals said it was a local who died recently who pulled the trigger! Dont think I believe that!
