![]() The magazine, as noted above, is now more “up-scale” targeted to a very different audience then the original Easyriders. If you go to the new Easyriders website you can purchase $16 shaving kits, $30 t-shirts, $25 boxers, and $60 hoodies. It appears that a Canadian clothing company called StrongHold now owns the name and trademark of the old company. Later Easyriders would host and run events, rallies (or as they called them rodeos), and motorcycle shows.įrom what I can gather, that Easyrider magazine closed its doors and auctioned off what was left in 2018. From my point of view, magazines have been the hardest hit with many, to many, motorcycle magazines failing to survive the transition.Įasyriders magazine started in the early 1970s and always showcased the best motorcycles from across America along with the aforementioned scantily clad women.

It fell on Hopper to break the news to Crosby and company, and as he recalled in the book "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls ," he threatened "bodily harm" to the band should it try to record anything for his movie. "Originally he was just making it more interesting, but the music became inseparable from the pictures," cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs told MovieMaker (via Ultimate Classic Rock).
