A nice episode. Nice synopsis, Tom ;) But...undiscovered country? How's about Unanswered Questions! 1. Did the kid get laid with the nude model chick? 2. Why would the bike thieves just, you know, give it back? 4. Would Bronson **really** be that trusting to not call the Nevada State Police and report the bike stolen? 4. How did that kid become such an accomplished city rider after only going around in circles on the farm? 5. Would his parents **REALLY** have been that sanguine about losing their son to the lure of the Big City? 6. Well, I can't think of a sixth question right now - I'll have to get back to you. All in all, one of the better (and overlooked) episodes.
Thank you! I will try to answer your questions based on my opinion only. 1. The writer leaves that up to the audience, however, Harold did wake up fully dressed. 2. My guess is that they might have been intimidated by a guy all dressed in black who they thought may be a preacher, guilt maybe. 4. I agree, not knowing how long Harold was gone, maybe 1 night, but Bronson would have had to walk somewhere to a phone to call the Police. 4. The kid may have had some natural ability and he did read magazines and Bronson was a good teacher. 5. I think that part was pretty realistic and the parents would hope and pray they did their best.
In 1970 I loved the sportster, and wanted to love the show. One problem, I could never hear what Bronson was mumbling? He kept mumbling down into his chest as if he didn't believe what he, himself, was saying?
Excellent episode and an excellent review!
Thank you Peter!!
You know if I were Mark Jenkins I would have had to have mentioned to those guys on the set I'm from the same town as Robert Craig "Evel" Knievel.
The parents had a lot of faith in what they taught especially the Dad
I agree and they did a good job.

That motorcycle ride through the city was filmed while the bike was sitting on a trailer and being towed.

He was, how should we say, soft spoken. Plus the mic set up was probably not working sometimes. Thanks for watching!
