Loved your list but allow me to add five more films to it:

Hell's Angels '69 (1969)

The "Ocean's Eleven" of biker films, as the actual members of the Oakland chapter of the Hell's Angels hit the Vegas strip with a couple of thrill seekers using them as cover for a daring robbery. Sonny Barger and Terry the Tramp in supporting roles. A late Sixties existentialist ending, too.

C. C. and Company (1970)

Joe Namath. Ann Margaret. Choppers galore. If you gasped at the scene in "Straw Dogs" where Susan George kisses one of her attackers, you'll recognize its predecessor here when "Stockholm Syndrome" victim Ann Margaret cozies up to Broadway Joe!

Born Losers (1967)

The first Billy Jack film has a biker gang terrorizing the families of a group of girls who went riding with them and discovered the road to drugs and rape! Billy Jack is there to help the one girl who decides to testify against them.

Werewolves on Wheels (1971)

Even if you are in a biker gang, you don't interrupt a satanic ceremony! One of the bikers has been turned into a werewolf, but which one? A real casting coup here, with Barry ("Eve of Destruction") in this one!

Rebel Rousers (1969)

A group of bikers hold a drag race to decide who gets to claim a pregnant woman. Yes...a PREGNANT woman! Incredible cast list includes Bruce Dern, Harry Dean Stanton, Diane Ladd, and Jack Nicholson (dig those crazy pants!). Shot in '67 but not released until after "Easy Rider" was a hit. That should tell you just how great this one is!
