Oh, you thought it was the artisan. Darn, can a mod please add the actor word to the title? I don't want people to thing that I did that one on purpose.

"Where ever I end up I guess"

In 1969, every kid with a banana seat Schwinn wanted to be Bronson!

I posted this to Facebook and all of my friends thought I was talking about Michael Parks the pipe maker!

Then Came Bronson (tv series) Michael Parks played the main character, a drifter who rode from one town to another having adventures and meeting new people, in a quest to find himself and to make sense of life.

Bronson rode a Sportster. That's the bridge in Monterey, it was recently featured in "Big Little Lies".

That is an early 60's XLCH, using a magneto. Not to be confused with an XLH with standard points ignition. I had a '61 XLCH that was a SOB to start.

Just saw him in Planet Terror ...
It's the curse great character actors suffer.
You don't remember Parks, because he disappears in his characters ... but, man! You remember the characters he played.
His Esteban Vihaio in Kill Bill Part 2 is simultaneously lovably charming and despicably sinister. He will be missed.
