Easy Rider
Chopper road trip
Easy Rider is a 1969 American film about two bikers crossing the country, widely seen as defining the counterculture era.
The title suggests someone who coasts through life without conventional responsibilities.
In blues and slang, an easy rider is a sexually satisfying lover or someone who lives off a partner's earnings—a kept man or skilled paramour.
