Fine idea, and shoulda gone 2 seasons but sometimes situations are too contrived. When the show came out, I was 16, so, of course, impressionable. I had already crossed the country twice by Greyhound and the thought of doing on a bike..oh, yea!
Any way, about 10 years later, I had an untypical day off mid-week and went to Cars of the Stars where I found one of the 2 series bikes in some out of the way corner there and since there was no one around, climbed on and took a couple minutes to imagine...
About 20 years after that, I met a guy who claimed to be an extra in the episode shot in Reno. Always a reminder somewhere...
