Steve McQueen's Triumph from "The Great Escape"

For this week's bike I had asked for suggestions on Brown Dog Welding's Fanpage. The first one I got back was the Triumph that McQueen rode in "The Great Escape," and I thought that was a great idea. I've been told over and over again to see that flick, so last night I finally did. It's definitely a classic for good reason.

Here's a clip of the famous jump, where stuntman Bud Ekins jumps the Triumph over a 6' fence.



And here's my version of the TR6, it's up for bidding now and all proceeds go to charity.

The "knobby" tires are a first, I'm happy with how they look!
