My favorite part of the show was the guy in the station wagon he pulled alongside of. Guy looks at him & says. "Man, I wish I was you." That bike still looks killer tiday.

RIP! In honor of Michael Parks' passing, how about this shot from the 1969 TV show, Then Came Bronson, where he has an "encounter" with this Barracuda convertible.

Yes it was a very cool show. All of us biker kids (mini bikes, and small motorcycles) went out and bought the blue cap he would be wearing.

I think I was 14, maybe 15 when the show came out. My father had just passed down to me a 1966 Harley Davidson Sprint. So I moved up from the mini bikes to the motorcycles.

One night watching "Then Came Bronson" there was an episode where Bronson was either chasing or being chased on his Sportster.

All of a sudden he is off roading it and makes a jump and the camera is looking up and at an angle. To my surprise the motorcycle was a Harley Davidson Sprint painted exactly like his Sportster.

I think there were a couple shots like that, that did indeed show the Sprint in action. Obviously they did not want to damage the Sportster, but where willing to sacrafice its little brother if need be.

Ahh the memories.

The attached picture is my 1966 Harley Davidson Sprint Model H
250 cc of pure fun. Its been in the family since 1966. (Still have it).

Bronson, Michael Parks will be missed......
