Easy Rider chopper to fetch thousands
PETER FONDA's iconic 'Captain America' Harley-Davidson from cult road movie EASY RIDER is set to sell for more than £625,000 at auction.
The customised chopper, complete with its trademark 'teardrop' gas tank, is currently owned by businessman Michael Eisenberg, who once co-owned a restaurant with Fonda and his movie co-star Dennis Hopper.
It is going on sale via California-based auction house Profiles in History next month (Oct14) and is expected to fetch hundreds of thousands.
The motorcycle was one of four ridden by Fonda in the groundbreaking classic, but it is the only vehicle that survived the shoot and was later restored by the actor. It was displayed at the National Motorcycle Museum in Iowa before being sold to Eisenberg last year (13).
