I saw it the first time around.  At the time most of us didn't much like the movie and thought Peter Fonda was a pussy. 

Saw it the first time around too. And many, many times since.  It was a time piece, I don't think it's as great as when I first saw it and yes, Fonda was nowhere as good as Nicholson or Hopper.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

All too true.

The question was whether you saw it the first time around...in 1969...or is your perspective more recent?

If you were there in '69 I suspect your perspective would be similar to mine.

I saw it at the theatre in the early 70s, and did not think that much of it. I still don't.
I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. -Frank Sinatra

Finally dug it out and watched it again... my initial 'meh' thought still stands.

Fonda isn't a pussy... he's the Enlightened One, vs Hopper's spooled up twitchy paranoiac spaz.

Just like The Big Lebowski isn't a bowling movie (rather... a weed movie featuring some bowling...) Easy Rider isn't a motorcycle movie...  ;D
