For some strange reason we decided to watch that very first movie Jack Nicholson made with Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper called Easy Rider, from way back in the sixties...

Maybe its the growl of the Harley that I like. Maybe its a reflection on youth. But there it was, Easy Rider playing loud and clear on our television. A classic film of the 60's. If you have not seen it - check it out - a film about two bikers who travel coast to coast, trying to discover America. And what a journey. With Jack Nicholson having a small role, but a performance which brought Jack national attention.  What I like is how the movie takes you through small towns, a hippie commune, and even a new Orleans bawdy house.

A somewhat shocking movie in terms of the ending which I shall not give away...but the realization that the freedom that Nicholson mentions in the movie is there for each and everyone, but with freedom comes a price, as it did in the movie....

If you find motorcycles of interest then Easy Rider gives you a glimmer of being on the road. I remember a big fellow, Big Red - letting me crank up his magnificent Harley one summer day and going down that highway with wind in your hair made you feel a bit of that freedom that you get on a motorcycle...

We are only young once but memories of youth are brought back in this classic movie, Easy Rider.
Rumble on Harley Davison....rumble on....
