I have noticed that Hollywood has been remaking hit movies in an attempt to generate revenue. There are remakes of Karate Kid, Foot Loose, Three Musketeers, Planes Trains and Automobiles, and a host of others. My question is, when they get around to doing "Then Came Bronson" he will undoubtedly ride a Tuber, but which model?

I see a Red M2 or S3T with the all seeing eye on the tank and a bedroll strapped across the rear fender. How far off am I? What do you think, am I so far off that a modern day Jim Bronson would have a XB12 Ulysses?

Last but least, what about ideas for a TCB tribute bike? I was going to do a Sportster based replica, but why be mainstream, go Buell.

That is a pretty close and faithful replica, minus the schwinn sissybar and high pull back bars from the TV show.

I was thinking of an updated "Then Came Bronson" tribute bike, done in the spirit of the original, not the image of.

Just a thought and not a very interesting one it appears.

I used to watch the show regularly, silly and formulaic as it was.

Here's everything you need to know!

"Just a thought and not a very interesting one it appears."

Bingo.
