Easy Rider - how a flick turned Quebecers onto motorcycles



Answer: the poor guy is smoking a ciggy because that's just about all he can do. He lost the use of his limbs in a motorcycle accident. After Easy Rider came to our local screens motorcycle usage went up 50%. The 1971 stats witnessed an alarming 30 percent rise in injuries, although fatalities remained about the same.

    Obviously he's remotely smoking a cigarette as he is far too important to sit up, get dressed and get out of bed.
