Riding those "hard-tail" choppers, (no suspension), was brutal. ANY dent or ripple in the road gets transmitted directly into your ass and back. That's why the road speeds in this flick are so low. You can see this clearly right about :35 to :39 in this clip.
Years back I was on the Fonda diet. Not Jane,...Peter. Get up in the morning, smoke two joints, drop a hit of acid, and go borrow some money from my sister!
I was 11 when this came out and it sparked a lifelong passion for motorcycling from mini bikes to the Road Glide that I now ride at the ripe young age of 66. To be able to saddle up next to your best friend and ride across the country is a dream still for me but doing it solo, as i have, was pretty dang fun but i did replace sleeping on the ground next to a fire with nights in a Marriot. A couple of questions I've always had about the movie that probably will never get answered is why was it necessary for Nicklesons character to have a helmet and "Billy" did not and was that small amount of cocaine they sold to Ron Spector worth enough money to retire on?
Yep ,it was a great movie .But I reckon it was the film the wild one that got me started riding in 1957 age 16.Now at 83 and diff bikes ,mopeds ,scooters and 4 Harleys . I am on my last bike at age 83 .Customised FLSTF .Will keep it as long as I can .If only to just look at it.
This was a really great movie, but the ending had me a little puzzled and disappointed. My biggest reason for liking the movie was going on an adventure by motorcycle. I remember reading that book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance " , and although the book is mainly about philosophy, I thought it could be made into an excellent movie. Life is an adventure!
Was reading a article about a Brit who hired a Bike in N Y to ride to the Southern States. He wrote when he rode into the South he was advised by a local to somehow stitch of attach a Brit UK union jack on his jacket, as the southern folk don't like New York Yankee num plates .
I love this film, great soundtrack, amazing scenery and even more amazing bikes, what more can you want ✌👍

That’s gotta be the southern CA deserts, Coachella Valley maybe?
New Mexico and Arizona
Monument valley at the end.

@John-ob7dh Sorry to hear about that! Some of those southerners are not the brightest crayons in the box!
