And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I temember watching a full length movie featuring Steve riding motorcycle trials. On the flats he was a banshee, passing other riders at a furious pace. In the trees and boulders, he showed ingenious methods of taking turns at slow speeds without a wobble or losing control of his machine. A phenomenal rider.
I totally agree he knew his shit when it came to desert/enduro racing. Check this public safety announcement out… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8on2oczg2M Klaus
Was it "On Any Sunday"? It's on youtube, add 1971 to your search. Mcqueen is in it at 1h20m but there's more footage of Malcolm Smith.
The car in the pic is his Jaguar XKSS. My favourite Mcqueen quote is "When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting."
I thought it might be taken from a passing truck - he looks a little surprised, maybe taken unawares. I was wondering when this might have been taken, too, because he looks like he's feeling not quite up to par. Once he was diagnosed he went down pretty fast.
Eyes on the Road Man !! Your background indicates no road shoulder and a sharply sloped away from road bed.

Wondering why the girl in the passenger seat is standing up to take a photo of him.
