Easy Rider and Chopperguy

I had never heard this rumor as to the whereabouts of Captain America before.

The original Harley-Davidson Panhead chopper used in the film is now believed to be safely stored in the Oakland Hells Angels Clubhouse…

As it states in the Choppers section, someone stole three of the four bikes used in the film. The sources I have found on this all point to the bikes getting stripped for sale. No publicity had occured for the film and no one knew it would turn into a hit. The thieves most likely partsed-out the bikes with no idea of the potential value of what they had just destroyed.

Hmm, all this talk about partsing-out bikes reminds me of The Wild Angels. The film starts with Heavenly Blues (Peter Fonda) riding out to tell The Loser (Bruce Dern) that they found his missing bike at a chop shop. I may need to watch that one again…
