1970
        The first "Easy Rider," bumper marker unknown  C??, was named in 1970 and used for convoy escort out of Long Binh Post by C Company. The name was from a 1969 American counter culture road movie written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Terry Southern.
1972
        Sometime after 1970 it was renamed "The Easy Rider" and the gun shield art was expanded with a cartoon character of an MP holding an American Flag. The bumper marking was C101.
