Certain things at a young age influence us as to how we perceive our lives to be. Easyrider was one of those factors,especially wyatt's personality.Now that I've found the road they travelled, I am now going to do this run in AZ and NM and hang around the canyon and monument valley and ride as many secondary roads so that i can truly relive the time in 68 when the movie was shot. I live in a region near Toronto Canada, a city like all other cities.Planning to do this trip in early May 2012 by flying to Vegas and shipping my bike there, so that I can get in the spirit of the open desert from the get go. Hoping to connect with a buddy that I introduced to riding, that now lives in L.A. and meet up in Barstow . Haven't seen him in 22 years. Either way I'm still gonna easyride my way in the desert and eventually head up the west coast through the Sierras heading towards the Great Lakes. Any takers for the desert run?? Thanks again Mr. Zip for the awakening.... JC Thanks Mr. Zip….it took the internet to connect the dots to a journey that impacted me in 1971 when I was 10.

It is the town's claim to fame. I live a couple miles away. All the girls in that scene were in my mom's class. I have a few friends on Facebook who recently put up a bunch of pictures with their family members who were able to meet the cast back then. Arnold Hess is the sheriff in that scene and worked for a very long time after that. It might have given the area a bad name, but it is still something people talk very proudly about to this day.

Wish I'd have seen it before I made my Route 66 ride three years ago! Anyone who has NOT ridden Route 66 doesn't know what they're missing. It was a real kick stopping at the RoadKill Cafe and the Mid-point Cafe for really good eats. This ride is definitely on my "to do" list. Thanks. Awesome site and story.
