You can also find Bronson stuff on eBay, including the Long Lonesome Highway album. Just search for Bronson or Michael Parks. There's also a u-tube video of him on the Johnny Cash show singing with Johnny.

I have two of the original books (paperback) in my collection of stuffthat the TV show was based on. The pilot movie follows the original book almost word for word.

And if you really want a trip down memory lane, how many of you remember Blue's Theme, from The Wild Angels, starring Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern, and Nancy Sinatra?

Wild Angels looks interesting, not available at netflix.

It looks likeTom needs to stick to billy Jack and not politics!![&:]

 

I had a model kit of Bronson's bike complete with that distinct tank decal, I think my sister broke it, oh well.

 

Incidently,a trick to finding videos or books. Instead of searching the "web," go to Google, and click on "Images" instead of the web, andthen search the title of the movie. Most sellers have a picture of the video that will be labeled the same, and they will pop up to the top of the list.

 

Man, I used to love 'Then Came Bronson'. I really wish some cable network like TV Land would bring that back, along with the 4-wheeled version, 'Route 66'. Both were very similar: drifter(s) traveling across the country; stop ina small town, maybe pick up an odd job; hook up with a local hottie; get into a fight or two; save the day for the hottie; move on to the next town.

I also loved 'Billy Jack' (and I do remember 'The Born Losers'). But 'Billy Jack' is best left as a fond memory; if you watch it today, it's pretty laughable.

 

Great show, wish it had lasted more seasons.

 

Dude I watched the whole episode, I remember those shows! Made me remember why I ride, Cheesy but probably put the tickle in my head for the road on two wheels

Don't laugh too hard. Me and a brother jammed a broken piece of a wooden fence post between the frame top rail and the rocker box on the rear head of a Sporty after the cylinder base fasteners decided to loosen up and a couple of 'em take a trip. Another time we swiped the bolts & nuts off a couple road signs on I-71 near Cleveland, OH to get his rear exhaust pipe cobbed back together. Took searching several signs to find loose ones 'cause we didn't have a wrench. Used a piece of scrap metal to bend the end of the bolts over and booger up the threads so the nuts couldn't back off since we couldn't tighten 'em up.
