So kool and entertaining. I was caught up in the tailwind of the boomer generation. Of course loved Easy Rider. Loved Race with the Devil 1975 as a 9yr old. R.I.P. Peter.

I loved "easy Rider" and so did my Son Gary. I loved motor cycles and rode them for years and I loved that ! However when Peter Fonda said last year that President Trump's son should be killed I was shocked ! That really disgusted me ! Well, rest in peace Peter Fonda and that is the only tribute I can say to you.

What a handsome man. Never saw any of his films growing up though. My idea of an All American boy, Trump came from immigrant parents. He should remember that.
