Ultimate Behind-the-Scene Look At Steve McQueen, King Of Cool

He Was Inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame

You may recall that Steve McQueen started out racing motorcycles and that always seemed to be a particular passion for him, even as he continued to race cars throughout his life. He was even inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Museum Hall of Fame for his lifetime participation in and support for the sport.

McQueen financed and starred in a now-influential motorcycle movie, On Any Sunday, with Malcolm Smith and Mert Lawwill. He was also part of a team of off-rode motorcycle racers. In the late 1950s, he famously took a dangerous road trip by motorcycle around Cuba with a group of friends. He loved the sense of “freedom and adventure.”
