Thusly, all of the motorcycle scenes in The Great Escape effectively show McQueen chasing himself.

I knew most of the rest, but That, I did not know.

Enjoyed the story !

I noticed the tires looked like "Trials-Bike" tires. I might need to try them on the DR200 next time.

Watching Steve McQueen in the movie , had me dueling for a Triumph when I was 10 or 12 years old. ::)

I liked the scene, but always laughed at the Nazi-Britbike. ;D
