Easy Rider

Last sumer I had taken a ride down to Battle Creek Harley-Davidson just to see what they had in their store. The store is a rejuvenated grocery store and I might add a much better use of space. As I walked around the shop I of course lingered around the nice new bikes and then there they were. Two bikes out of the past. The first was Wyatt's and  Billy's bikes from the 60's Easy Rider cult movie. Wyatt was played by Peter Fonda and went by "Captain America". The bikes never had names but over the years "Captain America" has been synonymous with Fonda's motorcycle. This blurring probably came for the fact that the fuel tank and Fonda's helmet had an American flag motif.

There were a number of these bikes built but definitely come as a very limited edition motorcycle. This was a way cool bike. I took some snaps with the camera I keep on my bike. The image above is of the tank with Peter Fonda's autograph... Another way cool touch. Too bad at the end of the movie the bike... Oops, I had better not give it away just in case you have not seen the movie. Interesting counter culture flick that is a very big downer man.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend. 

Cya Monday!
