Was in a freebirds taco joint the other day. They have a huge poster of
Peter Fonda and the Easyrider bikes. They looked odd with narrow rear
tires.

The "Hog tire" thing got started in the 70s, after that movie.
I haven't seen the movie for a long time but there seems to be some
confusion about the bike Fonda rode. I have seen pictures of a
Knucklehead at the Harley museum but I see them both riding Panheads
in still shots from the movie. I know they had a couple bikes for each
of them in the movie but I can't imagine them making that mistake.

probably thought the viewing audience would be to stoned to catch it.
