[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1423635, member: 17212"] That would have to be Steve McQueen. Just an all around good rider. There were many good stunt men that were also racers. Another one that stands out was Little John Hately. He was one of the good ones and he also raced flat track, GP's and mx. A guy named Eddie Mulder was a stunt man and also one of the best TT racers there ever was. There were a lot of racers involved in the movie industry. The movie industry is a very difficult business to get into. You have to know someone or be related to someone to get a break. Many racers worked in the transportation department. I did a few movies myself while working transportation. The people that gave me my break were all guys that I had raced with and then they moved on to the movie industry when they retired from racing. A little known fact, in the movie The Great Escape, McQueen was not the one that jumped the barb wire fence on the motorcycle. It was a stunt man who's name I can't remember right now and it wasn't a German Army motorcycle either. It was a Triumph 650 twin painted to look like a German Army bike. Although McQueen was perfectly capable of doing the jump, the insurance company wouldn't let him do it. [/QUOTE]
