Just thought of another unlikely. The "BMW" Steve McQueen rode in The Great Escape was actually a Triumph 650 made to look like a German WWII era Beemer. Apparently McQueen wasn't too keen on doing the role, so the studio did that as an enticement. He was a Triumph afficianado, owned a rode several of them. And the famous jump over the barbed wire was not his. A stunt man did it. On Thursday, August 29, 2013 7:15:45 PM UTC-4, Joey wrote:
