STEVE McQUEEN PICTORIAL

 

A CLOSER LOOK AT ONE OF THE GREATS

Recently we got  an e-mail from a reader that made us think. It went like this:

 

Hey SH

After having seen the movie On Any Sunday about a million times, my favorite rider is still Steve McQueen.  The only thing is that I guess most everyone has forgotten about him. I don't see any pictures or stuff like that. Can you help?

Well Mike, Matt and I talked it over and decided to share a few of the many, many Steve McQueen photos that we have with you and the other readers. For all you folks who like to see more of the legendary Steve McQueen, here’s a sampling from our collection.

Super, I still have the copy of MOTOCROSS ACTION that Baz had McQueen personally autograph for Judy Supersecretary. It even has some of his sweay-handed prints on the back cover! Whatever happened to Drigs???

Freakin great, have any more? My all time favorite. Wish I could have said hello to him just once. He always seemed like his ego was minimal and was able to persue the things in life that he truely enjoyed.
