I ran across this hour-long motorcycle documentary on Amazon Prime and, of course, I had to watch it.
I knew the actor Steve McQueen was into motorcycles and motorcycle racing, but I did not realize he was REALLY into motorcycles and motorcycle racing! This TV show documents what he and his friends did to get motorcycles into movies and how they raced at the top levels.
A few the things I discovered while watching:
Steve McQueen and friends were the first American team to race in the International 6-Day Enduro
McQueen and friends were drivers of making Metisse Racing Motorcycles famous.
McQueen spent hours changing customer tires at his friend’s bike shop, to prepare for the 6-Day Enduro
The documentary is narrated by motorcycle enthusiast Charle Boorman, famous for the “Long Way” films, and contains a lot of historical film clips and photos from that time. Steve McQueen Desert Racer was released in 2015.
I enjoyed the show, my wife even watched much of it, and I think you might as well. Check it out on the next rainy day!
Ride On, Ride Saff
I JUST WANT 2 RIDE!!
