The EASY RIDER Traveling Road Show
The two motorcycles that were in the movie Easy Rider, are two of the most recognizable motorcycles of all time. The movie was the first independent movie to ever be released by a major studio. This was in 1969. Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda became instant celebrities with the movie which also starred Jack Nicholson.
We will have the Captain America Chopper, with it's Red, White, and Blue Stars and Stripes tank, and the Billy Bike with it's distinctive Orange Flamed tank on display at the Rally friday through sunday. The Easy Rider Traveling Road Show includes the display of the two choppers, several autographed items, pictures, and posters, and the music sound track from the movie which will play in the booth. Have your picture taken with the bikes.
