Maybe I'll get to ride those roads someday, but I too will avoid the briny, if I can.

Relax, guys.... it's a Harley...... can't abuse a Harley!

Nah, the clip takes me back to a simpler time, before the worst of Vietnam, before the worst of a lot of things..... back when the whole world was a promise, and not a problem.

Then came Bronson is one of the things that made me want to become a rider.

Bronson was a hero of sorts. I enjoyed his series and I wanted a sporster because of him. Never did get one tho. And CJ, I am reverting back to those simpler times. If I can hang on for a few more years, I will become a recluse, live in my own world and do my thing.

I've been wearing watch-caps ever since seeing the pilot back 1970. Never wanted a Sporty though... :gunhead:

Agreed, it's good to have something that takes us back to those days that were simpler.

Ahh the simpler times in life . That Sporty did pretty good as a dirt bike on the beach .:cheeky1:

Pretty cool video. Enjoyable. The only thing about Bronson though..............he ALWAYS ended up riding off alone. EVERY time. That's not good.

I miss the simpler times but never had a desire for a Harley, but do enjoy the movies Easy Rider, Wild Hogs etc. I think we all live in the past sometimes especially when we think of our family and friends that have gone.

Ah yes, nostalgia. Gripping isn't it?

Along came Bronson. Wow. Hadn't thought of that in a while.

Actualy, no. No I don't remember that. :cheeky1: Sorry CJ but I never saw that show - maybe I led a sheltered life in Upstate New York . Bet I'd have been riding sooner in life if I did.



Come on down for a visit though - we'll show you the real deal of California Coastal rides. You can even ride a Harley if you want :shock:.

Actually, BD, the California Coast was Red and my first realGoldwing tour..... in 1989! We left Ellensburg, took 97 to near Crater Lake, then cut over on 62 and 199 to Crescent City..... we then rode 101 and Rt 1 all the way down to San Luis Obispo, where we cut inland on...... Hwy 58, maybe......to Bakersfield, and Barstow and Needles to the Grand Canyon, and from the Grand Canyon down to near Dallas, Texas, where we got married! All on a battered 1981 Interstate that we had paid $2495 for!

Pretty good first effort, huh? But the California coast part was what made us motorcycle tourers forever! Big Sur was amazing......

(thanks, but.... I'll pass on the Harley!)

Nah Dave, you got the same problem I do. We're not geezers so we never saw that stuff, except maybe some old reruns. I think I remember reading something about Bronson in history when I was in school. :dude:
