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.

Yeah, like "Bruce" was just a prop in Jaws.

It shows in the directing (Hopper)

What did it say? Smoke dope, drop acid and get murdered?
Real inspirational.
It is amusing that as soon as I said I didn't really care for the
movie that much, you flip flopped and became a raving fan.

Did I ever tell you how much I admire Hillary Clinton ;-)

It isn't one of my favorite movies, but I appreciate what it had to say
about our culture at the time.

Again, what exactly did it say? Smuggle cocaine, make enough money to
smoke dope, drop acid and ride around ****ing up until you give the
finger to the wrong redneck and get shot.
It certainly did not relate much to the America I knew in 1969 and I
doubt it did for you either. You only believe it was inspirational
because arty people said it was. The fact that you had to go to a wiki
page for the review seems to back that up.

Next time I am bored I will watch it again to see if there was some
hidden message I missed or really give a **** about.
I am really more curious if they did mix pan heads and knuckle heads
though. The best I can find is they used a 52 and a 54 Harley (pan
heads) for Captain America and one of them was totaled during the
shooting of the movie.
That is more interesting than whether they were dropping the green
acid or the brown acid at Marti Gras.

I quoted from the Wiki page because it was fast, easy, and simple. This
is rec.boats, after all.

"Arty people." Love it.
