I didn't put the movie down, JackGoff. And it really isn't a movie about
motorcycles.
The motorcycles are certainly the stars of the movie, particularly
Fonda's. Other than that it is just a music video with 15 or 20 pages
of random dialog cut in. As I said earlier, the soundtrack album is
better than a DVD of the movie. I have a half dozen of the songs in my
playlist but I have not watched the movie in 30 years.
Opinions are like assholes.The motorcycles were props. A simple review
on Wiki notes, correctly:
A landmark counterculture film, and a "touchstone for a generation" that
"captured the national imagination", Easy Rider explores the societal
landscape, issues, and tensions in the United States during the 1960s,
such as the rise and fall of the hippie movement, drug use, and communal
lifestyle. In Easy Rider, real drugs were used in scenes showing the use
of marijuana and other substances.
You might have paid more attention to what the movie was saying, rather
than just to the motorcycles.
