“I was 16 years old when I saw this movie and I had just gotten a 90cc Honda motorcycle. What really impressed me was the music in the opening scene where Blue rode his chopper out of Venice, California. I live in LA and was familiar with the area and since I had a bike, I knew the feeling of riding a motorcycle. Each time I ride, I can still hear the music in my head and ever since then I have had a love of pan head, Harley-Davidson choppers. The music played most often and associated with bikes is, u0026quot;Born to be Wildu0026quot; from Easy rider. To me, the music is the theme from the Wild Angels. However, even when I saw the movie at that time, I thought the acting was silly. Still, when I think of the movie, I can feel the freedom of the open road, the sound of the exhaust pipes, and the wind in my face. Even at age 53 I still want to go where I want to go and to do what I want to do. This is what America is all about.”
