The description is a bit bogus, but the bike looks relatively accurate.

Flag on Jacket is to small and the jacket is missing the stripes that where on Fonda's. Regardless, "The Pusher" playing at full blast came to mind when I saw that bike. I keep a copy of the movie on my iTunes and just broke it out... I really love that film except for the end, and that wacked out tripping scene. Bike is only couple hours ride from me... if I had only sold the Dyna instead of giving it to my son and never bought my hack to play with... I would seriously consider this for a toy.

That is absolutely awesome. If only I had a bigger garage (and bank account).
Where is Gumby, by the way. I was away for a while and haven't seen him since I got back (I am aware of what was going on with him generally, just don't know where he is any more).
As for the movie, Easy Rider is, imo, one of the great American films. I have watched it many, many times. I think it rises to the level of a true art film, whether Hopper and Fonda intended that or not.
And by the way, RIP Dennis Hopper. America misses you.

Just because...here's a nice tidbit from the wikipedia page for Hopper:
"He directed and starred in Easy Rider (1969), winning an award at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay as co-writer. "With its portrait of counterculture heroes raising their middle fingers to the uptight middle-class hypocrisies, Easy Rider became the cinematic symbol of the 1960s, a celluloid anthem to freedom, macho bravado and anti-establishment rebellion."[1] Film critic Matthew Hays notes that "no other persona better signifies the lost idealism of the 1960s than that of Dennis Hopper."[2]"
Amen to that.
