Clint Eastwood...biker

It's always fun to spot Eastwood in some of his early roles. Here he is as a biker in an old Highway Patrol episode. Easy for me to ID the '54 Mercury patrol cars. But the bikes? Not a clue.

(edit) Mercury patrol cars might be '55? Maybe first yearof the Y block v-8 if so. Yes, love old TV shows & movies for the car spotting.

Lol...yep, real badass dudes. Actually, was hoping some of the motorcycle guys would enter in with more on the bikes in this old show.

There were not nearly the number of makes of motorcycles in those days and most all in the U.S. were American made. It was all Harleys and Indians, those were HDs.
