The challenge is to modify the Charlie Horse logo so it looks good on black and comes across well embroidered. This is the first iteration looks like an xray. We are working on the engine, tank, leather jacket and wheels to make it come across better.
Two feet, four, six . . . 7ft off the ground. After repeated nervous, muddy attempts, Bud Ekins, a motorcycle stunt rider, coaxed the old Triumph into the air, flew over the strands of fake barbed wire and into the history books. The sequence helped make The Great Escape a cinema classic and turn Steve McQueen into an international star. It also made Ekins, who doubled as McQueen, a legend among fellow riders.
Motorcyclists never tire of talking about that jump, which was recently recreated with help from Gerry Lisi at Metisse Motorcycles, who just launched a limited run of 300 Steve McQueen Metisse Desert Racers.
In stunt-riding circles, the jump is still regarded as one of the most technically skilled — and controversial — performed for the big screen. Controversial because Ekins later claimed it was done on a standard, factory-built Triumph. Some film historians say such a jump could not have been accomplished except by special effects or on a highly modified machine. Forty-six years after The Great Escape was made, The Sunday Times has solved the mystery by reconstructing the jump.

About The Replica Racer
Faithfully built encompassing the ideals employed by Steve McQueen all those years ago. These include styled footrests made to his original design, 35mm Ceriani forks, with seven inches of travel which he found to be the optimum. The yokes are from BSA being his preference because of the handlebar position, set behind the steering stem for better control.

Cafe Racers and owners of Modern Classics need a full functioning leather jacket that provides security for valuables, wind resistance, multiple pockets and a clean look… The Torian Race Jacket fills the bill.
The clean look with its center-oriented zip appeals to those wanting an authentic old school look.
The jacket is tough and manufactured from naked leather. Naked leather is durable and doesn’t have the still feel that some jackets have. The leather comes in midnight black and has industrial-strength YKK zippers.
The build quality of the Racer is excellent overall and after a year of regular use still looks and feels good.
