I rode across this bridge in the opening credits of the 1969 TV series "Then Came Bronson" since that time the bridge has become a Mecca for Harley Davidson motorcycle fans from that generation. The TCB reunion which was held at the bridge on March 21-24, 2009 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Pilot movie, 24 March 1969 was a great sucess, We plan on doing it again in September 2009 to honor the first TV episode, contact my website for details http://www.jimbronson.com , until then Hang in There!
