Easy Rider in the Wind Magazine March 2014

Technically, the gals of Easyriders magazine were called "Ol' Ladies", but I figured most people would think this was a post about elderly biker women, so I opted for "Biker Babes".

Anyway, Easyriders is a motorcycle magazine that's devoted as much to the machines as it is the biker lifestyle.... and in the seventies that meant heavy drug use, deviant sex, and killing people. I've paged through current issues, and, frankly, it's just not the same. There's plenty of tan silicone enhanced skank, but that "Born to be Wild" mojo of Easyriders is long gone.

The women who graced the pages of the magazine are the exact opposite of the airbrushed ladies of Maxim.... these girls were the definition of "rode hard and put up wet".

And Easyriders had no reservations about plastering their mags with the bodies of their "Ol' Ladies". Even articles on technical information would find an opportunity to feature a scantily clad biker babe. For instance, an article on tightening a brake rod would be illustrated by a topless Ol' Lady performing the task.

But don't be mistaken, these aren't delicate beauties to be flirted with like a Playboy Bunny. No, these women will beat your ass Fight Club style and not even break a sweat.

Paging through some old Easyriders, I came across this featured Ol' Lady - Linnea Quigley. Fans of 1980's B-movies are well familiar with this Scream Queen - I was a bit surprised to run into her in this magazine.

Notice the disparity in attractiveness? If you're reading old Easyriders, you better get used to it. The magazine is full of attractive women clawing all over ugly, hairy, fat and sweaty bikers.

Well, this is a Foxy Ladies post, so enough about the pot-bellied grizzled bikers - let's take a look at the Ol' Ladies of Easyriders. Here's a cover gallery from issues from the seventies and early eighties. For added enjoyment, be sure to take note of some of the headlines. Enjoy!
