    The music, the scenery in Easy Rider had a big impact on me. To the extent that i live & spend most holidays in the West (of Canada/Usa not Yeovil & Trowbridge). Afte seeing that as a youngster, i wanted to see the places that they rode through - and although further south than Alberta in many ways the spirit still exists. Am in Northern California at the moment, up in the Redwoods near Mendocino, hippy culture is alive & kicking....there will be a lot of sadness at his passing in these parts.

    RIP Peter, enjoy riding around up there!! Easy Rider an iconic film, the music (Born to be Wild et al), the freedom it portrayed, the bikes (always my favourite type)......a fantastic movie that had a huge impression on me as a young 15 yr old. 
    God bless Peter and thanks for 'that' film.
