Then Came Bronson

-3 for mentioning Big Valley in the same breath as TCB. Blasphemy!

Linda Evans was kinda hawt back in the Pre-Yanni days of the 60's...

... but, TCB did have Jessica Walter as a guest star once.

Tough call, IMO.

THIS...

yep

We used to watch Big Valley down on the Ranch... Jarred was a candy-ass lawyer... Heath was a candy-ass cowboy... and Audra was just a candy-ass. But Nick? *sigh*

Lou, you know I'm not allowed to go riding for 72 hours after watching that don't you?



Bronson had it right, sort of.

No I didn't know that....Humm, that complicates the penitence Immensely.

A higher authority will have to rule on this one...

From Stevens Canyon Road you turned left at a mailbox with a 1 foot square plywood box onto Charcoal Rd just before an intermittent creek. Charcoal Rd was an amazing fire road that we legally raced up and down on our RT1B's, DT1's, Maico 400's, Montessa Capras and my BSA 441 Victim. ATGATT consisted of a Bell Magnum, Joffa mouth guard, HiPoint MX boots, Levis and leather work gloves. Charcoal Rd ends at Skyline near the south entrance to Long Ridge. There was a little scrambles track about 2/3rds of the way up we called the Intercourse and one track near the top. I'm not sure how you got to 9 on dirt. My biggest regret is having not ridden China Grade from Big Basin to Pinky's on 1. Pinky's is now the HWY 1 Brewing Company formerly known as the “Gazos Creek Grill”. At least most of this route is open to Mtn. Bikes.

I have no idea of the name of the roads as it was long ago during the drug induced days of ''69-'74. We rode many of the roads and trails there on our track bikes and enduros, presumably on some private roads as we were chased by trucks and even shot at twice. No maps, no GPS's and not a clue what the roads were or where they went. The good ole days

Holy threadjack.

This is TCB thread, Big Valley goes in the sink.

All these shows had enormous cultural impact

Those of us that grew up with Bronson, Adam, Nick, Capt. Kirk all may have been shaped by these guys. I for one never wanted a man like Bronson who seemed attracted to women that needed his help and then moved on once they were strong.
Give me an Adam Cartwright who likes 'em strong and independent

Man's gotta do his deed then split baby!

 

[Trapperdog]

I'm suppressed none of you women have brought up Redford in "Little Fauss, Big Halsy" Rated R, we had to get someone in line over 18 to buy our tickets as we were only 15 or 16

As for Billy Jack, it came out after TCB was gone.

Hi flying_hun,

I stumbled across your response to "Then Came Bronson" resembling "Billy Jack" (which I absolutely think it does). What you may not realize is that the first Billy Jack movie - the worst of the bunch - was from 1967, and was called "The Born Losers."

It was more "influential" than it was "good" (trust me on this one), but as a biker film, it may hold some interest.

Cheers,
Rocks

Whoa... thread resurrection, and it's not Easter.

Whoa... thread resurrection, and it's not Easter.

But glad I read it. I had never heard of this show either. My two oldest brothers had bikes in this time period.
