Easy Rider - Intro - Born to be wild!

Easy rider: movie introduction.

You know I've smoked a lot of grass
O' Lord, I've popped a lot of pills
But I never touched nothin'
That my spirit could kill

[gomer]

Those beautiful choppers changed a lot of lives.

I finally got my first Harley-Davidson today. I have been waiting for 41 years. (Life happens). She is an Electric Glide Classic. I call her Western Wind from the horse in the song, “Sign of the Gypsy Queen”, from April Wine.

Saw the movie as a 13yo. (63yo now) Began my life long love of all things motorcycle! Thank you!

Unforgettable music and unforgettable movie.

I am a child of the 60s. I remember the moon landing when I was 4 years old. I am glad I lived through those times, and had the opportunity to enjoy the freedom, free education, a great sense of beauty in the world without constraints as a child, no Internet or mobile phone. Just friendships forged at school, lighting fires in the woods, football the park, not a care in the world growing up. I am so pleased that I had a wonderful childhood. You only get that once.

My Mother, yes my Mother took me to see this in a small theathre in Iselin, NJ when I was 12, I'm 61 now and still I remember how cool my mom was.

Grew up in the 60s and 70s and this is the first song on a 45 that I bought in my now extensive music collection. And it also compelled me to owning motorcycles and I've been riding for over 40 years. Greatest biker song and greatest biker movie of all time. Thank you Steppenwolf, thank you Easy Rider and RIP Peter and Dennis. 🇺🇸

Saw this in '69 when I was 16, it was also the first time I heard 'Born to be Wild'. Those opening chords nearly blew me outta my seat.There is a place in the Space - Time Continuum where it is forever 1969.

Fonda and Hopper, two of the coolest dudes to ever hit the big screen. This is one flick I can watch over and over again. It never gets old. And also can't forget about Jack, another cool dude. Sometimes when I'm feeling down in the dumps about life, I just pop in this flick and it always makes me feel better. Thanks guys for making this classic. RIP. Another bad ass flick with Fonda was Dirty Mary Crazy Larry. Another classic. Saw that one at a Drive In. Dam I miss them days. Getting old really sucks man. I guess that's life though, you can't stop it. OK later on man.

I can imagine the rush of adrenaline of the kids listening this hardcore rock song at the theater. This movie was released in 1969, in the hippie era, during Vietnam War, right after Hendrix released Electric Ladyland, after the “Summer of love”, and the same year of Abbey Road, Led Zeppelin I and II, Woodstock, the moonlanding, and the Manson murders. Those years other jewels such as The Heat of the Night, 2001 A Space Oddissey, Rosemary’s Baby, and The Night of the Living Dead were released. All those movies were gamechangers.

I don't think anyone has ever looked cooler in a movie than Peter Fonda at 1:58 when the first chords of Born To Be Wild are struck. Thanks for the memorable films Mr. Fonda!

Saw "Easy Rider" when it first came out at a local movie theater. Got infected with the motorcycle virus. Still riding at 66. Live in Louisiana and have been to several areas where the movie was filmed, including where the café scene was filmed.

Rode for 15 years - greatest experience ever on the open road. Would love to be back at it, but life got in the way. Saw that movie in college (with an illegal smile) - one of the best ever, even after all these years.

RIP Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper.
Thank you for a great film.

[PatBatemanAtDorsia]

RIP Peter Fonda, thank you for leaving this EPIC film behind for future generations.

[Disasterpiece]

I love how he threw away his watch. Says time for me no longer exists. One of the most badass things I've ever seen!

[rickybobby]

when I'm down, this movie ALWAYS makes me feel better and helps me keep going in this difficult world, Thank You Dennis and Peter.

[kaleidoscopex]

Thank you Mr Fonda for what true Americana 60’s style is. Hippies on bikes will forever be a inspiration for me. I’ll show my kids this film when their older

[tonytrotta]

Dennis Hopper - wore the same Buckskin jacket and hat in the movie My Science Project at the end of the movie! Great song, movie, and scenes here!

[sidviscous]

take it from an old-timer: that opening guitar riff is one of the most iconic of the 60's. Good times, man . . .
