Franklin Mint 1:10 Harley-Davidson "Billy's Bike" (Easy Rider) (1:10)

  Franklin Mint 1:10  Harley-Davidson
 
 
 

For you "older" hippies from the love generation of the late 60's here's an item of interest. If you have and like the "Captain America", Easy Rider chopper from FM, Then you will like the companion piece from FM. It's the "Billy's Bike" that Dennis Hopper rode in the same movie!!

It is a "light" custom Harley Davidson police bike. Looks like the only modifications are the extended front forks, T-handlebars, 6" sissy bar and radical Mustang tank (painted red w/yellow flames!) Like the Easy Rider, it comes with Billy's "signature" up-turned cowboy hat. This 1/10 replica gets two thumbs-up as a conversation piece!

We "oldsters" can still remember the freedom of the wind in your hair and the bugs in your teeth as we persevered what was "right and wrong" with America!! (after that we all got married, settled down, got a cat (or more!!!), and started paying taxes!) If ya' got the Easy Rider Bike, you'll need the Billy's Bike!! The issue price is $135. (07/14/1998)
