Peter Fonda -- We Harley Knew Ya

Too bad the original Harley Davidson from "Easy Rider" isn't around anymore. Peter Fonda thinks the US economy could benefit by selling it to "the Koreans." Yeah, we don't get it either.

Regardless, for a dude who turns 70 next week, Fonda is very well preserved.

5. Harelys are very popular in Asia. Some bikes here in the US are stolen and sent to Asia by a large Asian gang. This is well known with the police.

8. How about an "Easy Rider" prequel ending with the hint of a trip to New Orleans.
Ignoring the passage of time, as so much is ignored these days, Peter could star again.
Don't have a script cause I can hardly remember those days myself.
But I did drive into Manhattan and parked around the corner from the theater.
People walk and taxi in Manhattan and never drive in their own town to do anything
giving a break to some, at least in those days.
Saw "Monterey Pop" in Manhattan's Kips Bay Theater, easy parking those days.

I don't think his wife/girlfriend is half his age. I just think she's had a little nip n' tuck.

12. The Korean comment was a little overblown on the TV show, Levin and Co. made it seem like there was some weird racial commentary. I didn't take Fonda's comments that way.

As kid, I lived in Korea for six months. My parents brought over the van they had recently bought in California. The van was one of those big family vehicles that had the living room style set up in the back, and with the four captain's chairs. Some guy made them an offer and paid over FOUR TIMES the price we paid for it in the states. Vehicles usually depreciate, but I guess some people will pay crazy prices for Western exotica...this is where Peter Fonda's comment came from, not an inflammatory racial angle.

15. Actually, Fonda's bike from Easy Rider was a Triumph not a Harley. Nice fact checking TMZ, right on par with your other journalism...
