So what is the reference is easy rider about watches? I ahve seen it but don't remember. I might have been smoking something too...
In the early part of the film before the road trip Fonda takes off his watch, gives it a pensive look, and then throws it to the ground.

What a pos movie! Indeed, there is a very large gap between Easy Rider and Wild Hogs. I guess Travolta et. al. had a goof making it, though. Oh well, I should have taken my watch off...maybe it would have been better.

Gotta disagree with the consensus here...I'm a huge watch fan ("watch idiot savant" as we call it in the watch world...hence my login name here) and rarely am without one. I feel naked without a timepiece on my wrist. However, I can understand the feeling of escaping time. Just my $0.02.

No they don't...who cares what time it is?? you know when it's time to eat.... you're hungry..... you need gas when you're almost empty.......if it's dark .... it's night time... if it's light it's daytime... what else do you need to know??? The only two other things might be if you need to change your oil or maybe need tires!!!

I think we have too much time on our hands if we're worried about makes us "real bikers" ... shut up and ride.

I never wear a watch, feels like the law has hold of my wrist...(or something like that)
Besides, I have a clock on my cell phone and radio.... hehehe
