"Then Came Bronson"

I know it's not about a British bike,but did get some people riding Triumphs,etc.
I don't know how many of you remember this,but I sure do.
Reminds you that the '60's were a simpler time,when you could just "take off" with no plans,& work your way around the country.
It was,basicly,a TV show about a guy on a Harley,who went
on a trip around the US,working his way around,with no plans,etc.

Sorta like "Route 66" on a motorcycle.

And then, there was "Easy Rider" - same time period, different message...

Yeah, I saw "Bronson" on the Speed Channel a couple of months ago, a very good "B" movie.

Interesting how the big hog Harley Sportster wins the hill climb against far more agile dirt bikes, which, of course, would only happen in a B movie.

Fun movie to watch, though, especially the beautiful, young Bonnie Bedelia. I think Martin Sheen had about 15 seconds in there somewhere, too.

Fun flick!

Ah, Bonnie Bedelia...Temple Brooks, the runaway bride

I've got a copy of a picture that says -
"Just Jim & his Harley".
Also have the 8 Track "Going Down That Long Lonesome -
