The Motorcycle Industry Association has voted Steve McQueen as the top biker of all time - a tribute to his star-making turn in the 1963 film The Great Escape. McQueen did most of his own stunt riding in the film, including doubling as a German soldier who was pursuing him. Ironically, the stunt that everyone remembers - his daring leap over a barbed wire barricade was actually performed by stunt rider Bud Ekins. McQueen probably could have done the stunt, but insurance concerns precluded him from trying. The persons bikers would most want to have as a passenger were Angelina Jolie and Daniel Craig. The least desirable tag-alongs? Victoria Beckham and Prime Minister Gordon Brown...also quite understandable. The only ride more nightmarish would be to imagine the new P.M. giving a lift to Ms. Beckham! (For a deleted scene from The Great Escape, see our Unseen Scenes column) To read the full story click here
