Agreed. He's just a down to earth proper bloke with bucket loads of talent, in front of the camera or on a bike. Turns up to do the job on his mountain bike wearing his overalls. How could you not love him.

Absolutely

Fantastic!

Yeah your right

@@johnnytheboy1384 hes a truck fitter

and brews up!

could he ladder a chimney though?

@Bob Dobalina couple of pints and we could have a go :)

How about the Snake River?

While riding uphill.

McQueen rode & raced Triumphs so in the movie it was only natural to use them. That included their being painted in Nazi colors for the scenes with soldiers in uniform.

Is the movie really that good, I'm thinking of watching it?

Actually Bud Ekins did the jump in the movie, because they wouldn't let Steve do it. Bud Ekins did a few stunts for Steve McQueen. Not that Steve couldn't do it, but he was a movie star, so they had Bud Ekins do some of his stunts.

Exactly months for an altogether 30 min video

you know it takes time to make them you idiot

Nobody asked you to watch?

David Miatke my comment wasn’t a slight on McQueen... granted, he was (and in many minds, still is) the “most interesting man in the world”. Thanks to social media, the public gets to see a more intimate side to celebrities today. Guy Martin appears to be perpetually upbeat, and seems equally happy talking to a fan, making a tea mug, or tearing around the Isle of Man at 200mph... His celebrity does not appear to have affected his humble nature and passion to learn. I agree, McQueen was more than an actor... he lived the action life he portrayed on screen.

@@majorgeneralspencerreid6673 McQueen served in the US Marines, was a motor bike racer, race car driver and martial artist. Most of that era of actors had lives before their acting and during their acting. Paul Newman served in WW2, race car driver, actor and spicy sauce.

they do make them even have a "mcqueen" version

david jones available in the US?

@@majorgeneralspencerreid6673look them up there are a lot of new bikes a 1200cc boneville bobber is cool

david jones thanks, I’ll do that. I’d love to have another dual sport ride, something between 750cc’s and a liter, for just beating about the streets and trails. I currently have a 750 GS (because I’m vertically challenged) which serves me well for long/camping trips. Ideally, I’d love something akin to a street tracker.... I just love the look and feel of a flat track racer..

Funny thing is Fonzi/Henry Winkler couldn't actually ride a motorcycle. The intro to Happy Days he was pushed into camera shot with out the engine running.

I was looking for a comment about Bud Ekins. Yes, Bud Ekins did do the original jump for the movie, not Steve McQueen. McQueen was an excellent rider, and even rode in the ISDT, but they wouldn't let him do the jump for the movie.

You know how much that original bike is worth to be chucking it over an 8ft fence?

Well it was a Triumph, not a Kraut machine.

@@x67th 🤣🤣🤣

Yea he jumped it on a dirt bike Anyone that rides dirt bikes could have done that I don’t get what the big deal is

Would of like to see him on a original period trumpy, not a new machine with 3+ length of travel
