Description
Steve McQueen's Motorcycles: The King of Cool's Two-Wheelers Steve McQueen's affinity for motorcycles began early in his life, with the first Harley he bought as an acting student in New York marking the start of a lifelong passion. This book focuses on the bikes that McQueen raced and collected, including his iconic Triumph "desert sleds" and Huskys, which he used to conquer the Baja 1000, Mint 400, and other top off-road motorcycle races. Beyond his racing exploits, McQueen's love of motorcycles also led him to accumulate an extensive collection of antique bikes, including Harley-Davidson, Indian, Triumph, Brough Superior, Cyclone, BSA, and Ace motorcycles. Today, McQueen's classic motorcycles continue to fetch top dollar at auctions, a testament to his enduring legacy as the "King of Cool". This book offers a unique insight into McQueen's relationship with motorcycles, revealing the man behind the legend and the bikes that made him a legend.
