The Brosonites have already been on the move this year. One guy loaded his bride and his Bronson Replica bike into a his pickup in Maryland and went to the Bixby Bridge for a three hour meet last March.. That right there is some hardcore enthusiasm. After the three hour meet, some riders rode off to visit some of the TV show’s shooting locations. And shooting locations in CO. and other far flung points were visited as he made is way back to Maryland.
He says that he will be at the museum show in July. I wouldn’t mind having myself in a pic with that guy and adding it to my scrapbook.
I watched this show religiously as a kid – great fun! In fact, I think I still have Michael Park’s (ultra lame) album…Might actually be worth something today.
Hey QuesyRider,
I am that guy. My wife and I spent 4 days visiting the filming locations in the area and then we head back to Maryland. She was getting home sick so I put her on a plane in Vegas and finished the ride by myself. On the way back I stopped in Olathe and Montrose Colorado. As well as Blue Mesa and Gunnison Pass, which are all filming locations for the Bronson series. I did go to the Harley Musem for the celebration there and of course I was the Ram Rod for the Morgantown/Mountainfest deal. That was a fantastic time there.
