YamahaParExcellence Posted April 30, 2018 #1 Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) Just got a call this afternoon, that Yamaha Canada is shipping my SVTC out to the dealer, tomorrow morning. Finally...finally... May is going to be a good month, after all...the months and years that follows, I have no doubt... Took two weeks off in May, just to be the optimist. Seems it paid off... Going somewhere where there is an ocean, with rolling hills and mountains between me, and that ocean-view stretch of highway. That was what this baby was built for,...as was the coin earned, and dropped down onto the desk, for her.... I'm going to pull a----> 'Bronson' folks, for those old enough to know who I am talking about...and what I am talking about. That show...was my all-time favorite, in the late 60's. Especially , that closing scene of him on his Harley, going over the top of the hill..and gone like the setting sun he was heading towards. That will be me, in a couple of weeks... Finally....... Less typing about it...and more DOING IT! Edited May 1, 2018 by YamahaParExcellence
BlueSky Posted April 30, 2018 #2 Posted April 30, 2018 Yeah, I loved that show, "Then Came Bronson". It was too deep and not enough action for it to last more than one season though. A couple years ago, I ordered the DVD of the two hour premier but had to return it because it was defective in the middle of the show. Michael Parks, the star of the show passed away a year or so back. Hope you will be riding and grinning real soon! 1
RandyR Posted April 30, 2018 #3 Posted April 30, 2018 I watched that tv show when I could. Its probably the one reason I still look at a Sportster fondly.
cowpuc Posted May 1, 2018 #4 Posted May 1, 2018 A major CONGRATS to you and Charlotte Yamster!!! One of only a few non Willie Nelson songs that we sing while CTFW and one by one my whole family has learned the words to

YamahaParExcellence Posted May 1, 2018 Author #6 Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I loved that show, "Then Came Bronson". It was too deep and not enough action for it to last more than one season though. A couple years ago, I ordered the DVD of the two hour premier but had to return it because it was defective in the middle of the show. Michael Parks, the star of the show passed away a year or so back. Hope you will be riding and grinning real soon! Yessir! Exactly, 'Then Came Bronson'. I loved the episode, (was it the first episode?) where that homeless guy in front of the snack bar...steals his hog...and blast it, and himself right into the middle of the pond that sat out in front of the diner! Man, as some of the townspeople were helping and looking on, he sure had a great lookin' Daisy Mae', that hitched a ride with him...for that episode. That show, as I was around 16/17, really imprinted on me, that a guy who drove a Harley, could be a great guy..wanting to help anybody around him..and not the image of the day...that of the Hell's Angels, of the Oakland Chapter. Michael Parks really did a tremendous service for Harley Davidson, and probably, that show 'gave permission' for all the thousands of HD's since that time, and ridden by everyday folks, fathers, brothers, sons...and even some daughters of the time period. I believe that show started the 60's to 2000's gold rush for Harley. They should have a DVD, of that show, and give it out even today, to every new HD purchase...IMHO!

YamahaParExcellence Posted May 1, 2018 Author #7 Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) A major CONGRATS to you and Charlotte Yamster!!! One of only a few non Willie Nelson songs that we sing while CTFW and one by one my whole family has learned the words to Thank's Puc! Can't wait...going to mow down on the break-in...put away those 600 miles...and then wham, pow...down to Myrtle... BTW, Puc...that was a sweet bike in that series...and a killer Coffin Tank! As a teenager, every time he kicked it over...the sounds from those pipes...made me...dream....and once an adult, they all came true...many times over! Edited May 1, 2018 by YamahaParExcellence
YamahaParExcellence Posted May 1, 2018 Author #8 Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) Arent you glad you complained to right people?!! Looking forward to seeing you sitting on your dream bike Joe! Excited for you!! Thanks Chief....I'm blowing like a hurricane at the dealership for two months...and get nowhere. Then at your suggestion and small shove in my lower back-------->I then drop a call to the Big Guy, (sitting at the top of the corporate food chain) in his Concord, Ontario office tower...and three days later...a Red SVTC is on its way to my dealer. You were right,...and as they say, "...the squeaky door DOES get the 'oil', lol" Cheers 'n beers! Edited May 1, 2018 by YamahaParExcellence
