[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1423623, member: 17212"] Pesky. If you watched On Any Sunday you saw me ride. You had to look pretty close though. :laugh: In the helicopter shot when they were following Malcolm Smith on the mountain road, I am the last guy he passed when the helicopter panned away just as he was entering the town. I'm the rider in orange and white. Those were really fun times. One year I got to start the race directly behind Malcolm and this other fella who signed up under the name of Harvey Mushman. Harvey Mushman was actually Steve McQueen the actor. The studio, or actually the studio's insurance company didn't want McQueen to race motorcycles since he was so valuable to them as an actor. So he signed up under the name Harvey Mushman. Later, after he passed away and Goat brought the GP back, they named the 100 mile portion of the race after him. The Mushman 100. Steve and Malcolm were both very fast. They both rode Huskys and us guys on the 650 twins could hang with them on the street sections but, when we hit the dirt, they were gone. :yikes: Steve rode many local tracks and quite a few desert events. He did very well in all of them. He was a great guy at the track, just one of the guys. He didn't want to be treated any other way. He would talk to you all day about motorcycles, racing lines, different tracks but, if someone came up to him and started treating him like an actor and wanted his autograph, his body guard would appear from nowhere and escort that person away. There were a lot of Hollywood actors and stunt men that raced with us back then. [/QUOTE]
