Well, I don't care how many of McQueens bikes this guys fat wallet bought him. He'll never be as cool as McQueen.

So he might as well just sale them now and let them move on. Because it's obvious this guy has no intentions of doing anything constructive with the bike.

u dont leave a 2stroke idling or u oil up the plug, thats why u see people with anything other than a trials bike do this and u usually find that they r built to withstand missed gears etc when u hit all kinds of nasty rpm.

I learned to drive on a '76 CR250 about 12 years ago, still driving a Husky today :D

@mdytmhgd Gee, give Matt a break. He just got done riding the bike around the parking lot .and was so thrilled he wanted to share the moment with Chad McQueen. The bike was running and revved up so Chad could hear it.

@vexviper Heck, Maico made a 501cc (to compete in Open--over 500cc--classes).

@ellahdayne First of all, one doesn't "drive" a Husqvarna. Husqvarnas have to be ridden and they do not suffer fools gladly...actually, at all. Matt may have rolled around the parking lot, but if he had attempted to ride that rocket, he would have been thrown off like last year's editor.

Can't even put the cell phone down while sitting on Steve McQueen's bike???? Wow.

I wonder where they " discovered" this bike at? because I actually bought Mcqueens husky around 1975, I worked as and asst on " On Any Sunday", and bought the bike from a buddy who was a cameraman on the film and rode a lot w Steve, we all used to ride at El toro as well, f'n thing would never start so I sold it back and got a Yamaha....

You fat asshole! Sitting on a piece of history that belonged to a legend.

Steve McQueen was so great, you'd have to stand on your mother's shoulders just to kiss his ass.
