Today in motorcycle history, November 13, 1967

 

  Jenny Gan stars with The Monkees in "The Wild Monkees".  In episode #42 of the second season the lads find themselves face-to-face with a notorious biker "gang". 

 

  The Monkees try to impress four women that turnout to be the "ol' ladies" of Butch and his fellow bikers.  Butch & Co. eventually challenge the boys to a motorcycle race.  Winner gets the girls.  Mickey, Peter, Mike and Davey dress in leathers, bikes appear and hilarity follows.

 

  Mickey is shown riding a 1967 Triumph Bonneville, Butch has a rigid frame panhead with a 4" over wide glide, cool looking old school chopper.

 

  Jenny Gan made such an impression in the role that she he began a "professional association" with Roger Corman.   In 1969 he put her in "Naked Angel", she played a biker chick, clad in leather and lace, it was a stretch but, she pulled it off.  Corman thought enough that he cast her (co-star, actually) in 1971's Women in Cages.
