Since we're on the topic of our beloved Trumpets & pop culture... how about "The Great Escape" where Steve McQueen hi-jacks a German patrol bike to make his escape. The problem was... no way Steve was going to try to jump some ancient Beemer... so a Triumph was painted olive drab & the director just hoped no one would notice... the Nazi scooter was British!!

..and I just bought a big poster of a still from that film with the great man sitting on said Triumph/BMW morphing bike.

I can't remember anything about it, but there was a TV show with a construction boss I believe, who rode a Triumph. Anybody remember anything like that? It seems like the actor's last name was Guinn or Quinn or something like that. I've been trying to snap to that show for months. :???:

I tried to include this with my initial posting & it didn't work.
Here is an image of a die-cast replica of the McQueen /Great Escape bike... http://gulfcoastrentals.com/images/triumph/mcqueen.htm

The movie "Mischief" was filmed in a small city here in Ohio. It was a 50's setting. The cool Triumph actually was (I believe) a 69, but mocked up well to look 50s.
