There was no magic in fixing 69 and 70 Sportsters other than push it home. Then they came out with all electric and no kick starter. You had to remember to park on a hill.

Definately an iconic show. Never saw the series but saw the "movie" at least three times through my teens on tv. Pretty sure the image of the "lonewolf, independant, confident biker out on the road" is a part of my subconscious. As far as the HD in the series goes, can you IMAGINE how many sporties this show sold for HD? But I'm glad I wasn't old enough to have one when this show was on, from everything I've ever heard I saved myself a lot of grief in not owning one. And as an aside, my first bike was a 71 Bonnie, and I'm pretty sure I could have traveled the length of the U.S. reliably. And it was easily as fixable as the Sporty, if not easier.
