Easy Rider is a Blues term. I'm into the Country Blues:

1 - The "easy rider", also known as "See See Rider" or "C C Rider" (see also rider), is a blues cliché for the sexual partner, although originally it referred to the guitar hung on the back of the traveling bluesman.;

2 - Southern Louisiana's John "Johnny B" Bradford says: "An easy rider is the husband or significant other of a whore - thus the name. He doesn't work or pay for sex. It's his easily. Thanks to John "Johnny B" Bradford for this contribution to the list.

Sounds like a good life to me!
