Old Honda Commercials - pre-lawyer era

Steve McQueen was so cool. I'll bet he thought that CR 250 weighed nothing compared to the Triumph and Matchless Metisse 4 stroke twins he normally rode. Gotta say though Wanted Dead Or Alive is a horrible western lol.

Back then, when you're 6 or 8 years old, there were no bad westerns. I thought his cut down Winchester was pretty cool.

McQueen was definitely a stud. I still find it fascinating to think about him being chosen to represent the USA in the ISDT, well into his stardom by then. The selection of those spots had nothing to do with fame or fortune. Rather it was an acknowledgement of McQueen's overall skills as a rider and competitor along with his wrenching abilities. If anyone's life were worthy of being made into a movie, the King of Cool would be right up there in my opinion. The only problem is that casting his character would be downright impossible.

There must be a member of the forum equal to the task.

Well sure, but we all know that the ferret would be (as he always is) far too modest to answer the call.

ME? Playing the king of COOL? I've never been cool in my life

Although it would be COOL to ride around on COOL motorcycles and drive a COOL fastback Mustang real fast.
