Together with Dennis Hopper , Peter Fonda ushered the EASY RIDER Chopper era at the end of 1969. What would Born to be Wild be without the two cult stars Captain America and Billy Bike ?

The entire rocker scene literally caught fire in the 70s with the chopper film Easy Rider.

Easy Rider drove Harley-Davidson out of the crisis

The real meaning of the two rockers is hard to put together. Harley-Davidson owes a lot to the cult film and its two main actors, who drove the market back for many years after the crisis.

With a relatively small budget of $400,000, director Dennis Hopper and Easy Rider producer Peter Fonda grossed over $60 million with the road movie.

The film was shot spontaneously using rather simple means. The footage originally consisted of over 4 hours, but to make it cinematic, Dennis Hopper reduced it to 1 hour 35 minutes.

It was enough to make the actors all immortal, plus the equally unforgettable biker song “ Born to be wild ”.
