Malcolm Smith, or Mert Lawill or any of the guys from On Any Sunday by Bruce Brown. Steve McQueen was a great guy and a hell of a rider too but I don't have a qui board. Noname

I'd rather talk to some old timer who's been riding all his life - someone who has seen and done it all. But if I had to choose a celebrity or three, I'd choose Arlen Ness, Neal Peart, and just to take a step outside the box, Sonny Barger.

One of the original Wrecking Crew from the Indian racing team from the Sturgis Indian dealer. He is in the Motorcycle hall of fame. A great racer, motorcycle dealer and human being.
When I met him a couple years ago he told me his new ride was a Suzuki scooter with push button shifting. Said it will do 120 MPH easy. Great guy.
