I used to love watching it with my grandmother, she was his biggest fan...

 

Yes! But I don't remember exactly the years.

 

Boy does that bring back memories. On the commercial he is headed south down California Highway 1 crossing Bixby Bridge. The bridge is very famous and has been seen and used in a lot of movies and commercials over the years. I too often plow through the salt water on the beach with my HD.

 

Here's the rest of the links on U-Tube to watch the whole show. There are so many easy to spot gaffes in the Bronson series. Here's a couple more right off the bat:

Check at about 3:30 into the first part, and you can hear the electric starter as he "kicks over" his bike.

At 40 seconds into the commercial, you can hear the exhaust, and it's a two stroke (beach scene).

That show was soooooo bad, that it is funny to watch today. But it was my favorite too, way back in 1969! How Ilong for the good ole days. NOT!

 

Kind of lost the magic it had when I watched it as a teenager. It's like sticking an icepick in my ear now.

Another childhood memory trashed. Thanks for sharing. What are you going to post next? reruns of Combat and Rat Patrol. I don't think I could bear seeing any more great memories in front of the TV ruined.

 

I used to watch it all the time too.
Wish they would show it again.

Yeah, the sportsters werebuilt to compete with the British bikes in flat track racing. Shifter was on the right, as the riders were dragging their feet on the left as they went counterclockwise around the track. The bikes were all standardized in the mid '70's. My 75 t150 shifts on the right, the 76t160 shifts on the left.

Here's the links to anotherBronson. This one has some riding in it!
