Default What was the first biker movie you ever saw?

For me it was The Wild Angels with Peter Fonda andNancy Sinatra when I was 9 in 1966, my cousin sneeked me into the theatre.

"We want to be free! We want to be free to do what we want to do! We want to be free to ride. And we want to be free to ride our machines without being hassled by The Man. And we want to get loaded. And we want to have a good time! And that’s what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna have a good time. We’re gonna have a party!"

I just saw it again on SPEED the other night. It's gotten cheesey with age.

Does "Road Warrior" count, or "On any Sunday"?

I think it was probably Easy Rider, although I never really thought of it as a biker movie. More of a counter-culture thing. Most of the rest came out in the 60s and I don't remember much till about 1975 or so.
I've seen several in the past year, most of the ones mentioned above. There don't seem to be many good ones.
