And I would never have realised that if I hadn't seen your comment. Thanks.

[@stevesolo16]

Guy, here's something not too many people can make claim to. I owned Steve McQueen's 1967 Triumph Bonneville 650 for a few years. I didn't put it on display, but rode the bike to work and in the hills every chance I got. Living in the Southern California, where the weather is bike friendly, meant, I rode it a lot. Another cool thing about this bike is Chuck Norris and his Brother Aaron gifted me the bike!! It had been left to Steve's stunt coordinator, Mr. Bud Ekins, who sold it to Chuck. I was a formula racer and owned a GP Bike team. I also worked as a stuntman on about 6 of Chuck's more famous films. That's a historic, Steve McQueen's motorcycle bit of trivia!

[@utecastronoova863]

Nice bit there. Thanks for posting. Always looking for gems among the crap in the comment sections

[@AngryPete]

Hi Steve, do you have any photos/videos of your work, the bike or any other behind the scenes stuff?

[@stevesolo16]

@flip inheck I never said he did. This was a personal bike he owned It was put in storage in a local airport hangar. He also had a small collection of old fashioned refrigerators in there.

[@stevesolo16]

@@AngryPete This was a personal bike he rode around town when he lived in Torrance Ca I never thought of taking photos. To me it was a cool, but problematic bike that had an electrical problem.

[@stevesolo16]

@flip inheck Bud and Steve were life long friends. When Steve died he willed his collection of bikes to Bub. There were numerous bikes, one of which was this Triumph. I'm not sure if Bud sold, or gave Chuck the bike. This bike was never in any film, to my knowledge. The first time I saw it was it sitting in a corner of Aaron Norris's garage.

"what the bloody hell is margerine?" haha that got me

[@iankavanagh1385]

Margarine is a spread used for flavoring, baking, and cooking that was first made in France in 1869. It was created by Hippolyte Mège-Mouriès in response to a challenge by Emperor Napoleon III to create a butter substitute from beef tallow for the armed forces and lower classes

[@howey935]

My great uncle was in a japanease pow and they were lucky to get a bowl of plain rice a day. He was never the same again nentally or physically.

[@Baard2000]

My granddad also got ONLY 1 cup of rice also........ He told me that outside the camp the Japanese had the same amount only sometimes with a tiny bit of fish. He told me he was lucky to work in a steel work/mill on Hokaido , the most northern island where minus 30 degrees Celsius was pretty normal in winter. In the steel mill it was warm...... The commander of The prison camp was the only not executed after liberation by allied forces as all the pow's signed a declaration that this commander had done his utmost best to provide less horrible life. He had been before the war on an English boarding school and college...so he was familiar with Western culture. That saved his life. Luckily my granddad was not mentally destroyed and could tell about the camp as an adventure novel..... with sometimes horrifying stories......

[@ebr-fan1117]

"What in the bloody hell is 'margarine'?". Guy you are the best! I would love to hang out with you at this next year's IOM races. Are you going to watch or participate again?

[@dgprojects6536]

Well done guy another great show

[@TheGroundedAviator]

My uncles used too race with one of the primary stuntmen on that film... with my dad on the back clinging on for his life!

[@gregormiller4037]

Hey Mr Guy, have a blessed holiday and a Merry Christmas. You are my Malcom Smith of the EU AND a god among men. What you have accomplished in the IOM and survived is beyond mere mortal consumption. God Bless you and your family.

[@gregormiller4037]

@flip inheck Not everyone wins, Dunlop, McGinness etc are great on the throttle. Guy Martin was the untimate competitor in my mind, and personally, I don't think winning with all its glory, was his ultimate goal...he just wanted to compete, as he did after surviving shinny side down crashes that most men wouldn't of survived. In my mind, he is a god among men, a hard working mechanic, a true farmers friend....the kind of Guy you could rely on through thick and thin. I'd fight for him, and other men like him, which are few and far between.

[@Kreisverkehrdrifter]

[@neilhamill318]

At least the Germans allowed the red cross kits to go through and even supplied bread. Unlike another country that let their POW starve to death.

[@Yora21]

Rations in camps on the eastern front were even worse: Nothing.

My uncle was a POW in a German camp the last 6 months of the WW2. All he had to eat was grass and rats. dirty rainwater to drink. Try that.

[@crpth1]

Thomas - Quite honestly I was a bit surprised with the list. I guess this was for the "lucky" POW's! I heard potato, and some kind of vegetables and "meat" all in the same sentence! Yeah! Definitely the lucky ones...

I do like guy martin but the clip of him eating at 1:35 and saying thats all right that is a fecking insult to all the soldiers who were pow's...guess he never had a dad who was a pow or he might not have been so flippant about the whole experience.

[@MC-nb6jx]

Jim Jones ... Woah there Jim, reel it in a bit.. There’s no way on this earth Guy would insult POW's no way at all.. You’re just looking for something to be offended by if you think for one second he would🤔🤔

[@Harold_Flite]

And with that proof, Germans were humanitarians even in war...other groups were not afforded such luxurys. Russian, Japanese and British were not so forthcoming to thier prisoners, according to my Grandfathers diary.

[@CplPinkington]

From July 1941 to January 1942 2.8 million Soviet soldiers captured by Germany died in German POW camps, mostly due to starvation. The death rate slowed after January 1942, mainly because the war wasn't going as well as hoped, so the Nazis decided to use Soviet POWs as slave labour, rather than just starving them to death. They were hardly "humanitarians"
