Default Remember;"Then Came Bronson?"

It was a TV show back in the 60's with Michael Parks centering around a guy that had a Sportster driving around the states. I was addicted to the show. I built a model of his bike when I was a kid.

I remember it very well.In fact, a few months back, I watched the movie version. Sometimes during that show, his Sportster would change to a two stroke dirt bike-like in an episode where he did some hill climbing-but that darn two stroke would sound just like his Sporty...

One of My favorite Shows growing up as well, I am trying to remember that line in the Intro when he pulls up next to the guy in the cage and Guy asks him "Taking a trip" I can't for the life of me remember what Parks answered back

Bronson-"Yeah I guess"
driver- Where to?
Bronson- Wherever I end up
Driver - Wish I was you
Bronson- Really? Well Hang in there

(ps not that I remember It just got me thinking & I looked it up) Really sets the tone though doesnt it?

The line that had the biggest impact on my youth was the line by John Derrick in the movie: Knock on Any Door. "Live fast, die young and have a pretty corpse." Pretty silly when I look back on it.

I always liked the logo on the tank. It's kinda like the pyramid/eye thing on the back of a buck.

Man I loved that show when I was a kid! I just found a guy on sell.com that's selling DVDs of all 26 episodes for $22.45. I just got it in the mail a couple of days ago. So far I've watched the pilot movie and the first two episodes. I love it!
