[@AlanAttack]

I love the fact that Guy has become famous just because he's so lovable....his personality and the things he says have captured everyone's heart....love ya mate.

[@bobbyphillips2538]

9:50! ? Wait a minute right here... Steve McQueen was WAAY capable of jumping this itty bitty fence!! I know! I have seen him riding with Malcom Smith (my neighbor) and he was very good. Better Iam sure than Bud Ekins was at this sort of thing. McQueen did this stuff all the time.... He just did not let his studio executives and producers become aware of the risks he took for fun and racing! He easily COULD do this. He was NOT PERMITTED to do this jump

[@barnabyg6808]

Bobby Phillips buthurt fanboy alert, he isn’t saying McQueen wasn’t capable of doing the jump. It is a reference to the film where the bike was crashed into the 8ft fence because it didn’t get over it and how Guy hopes to jump over that size fence

[@GarryMcGovern]

Having ridden this bike at the off road experience at the NEC last month, I'm glad they managed to take 20kg out of it, as my over-riding impression of it was: 'it's a big ol' girl'! 😆

[@daveayerstdavies]

Forgive me, but I can't help being sad that such a historic bike has been so completely restored that all signs of age and traces of use have been erased. I like old things to be preserved as they are, complete with their history written in their patina.

[@cloudmaker]

I would normally agree with you but on seeing this on C4 it sounded like the bike was almost done to death rounding up cows and spent a lot of years just being a field bike, for all we know it may have had very little of it's original patina left.

[@martinlewis1015]

Yes i watched ch4 about bike and it was bought some years after film and used on farm for some years until he died then a Triumph fan who collects bike bought it and repaired it back to how it would have been seen in film, to show it off in museum but also work but as it is worth 1M it’s not used

[@2strokemxclassics]

Some bikes need restored fully m8

[@craigwall9536]

@Alex Bon Nope. Cast it in resin and sacrifice a few virgins to it every week or so.

[@tlv6666]

So they did the exact jump in the exact field exactly the same circumstances to replicate the film with a bike that's half the weight 50 years newer technology with about 3 times more power

[@plance1]

exactly. i could do the jump on a newer bike. were they going to recreate the jump on a bike similar to the old one? wimps

[@karlosh9286]

Steve McQueen is a legend. Guy Martin is a living legend. Anyone who can brave the IOM TT, let alone almost win it, is a legend. I wonder what is happening with the bike Land Speed Record Triumph were trying to break a few years back with Guy in the hot seat, the Triumph website sort of says "watch this space" ...

[@bigtony4829]

I think he managed 17 podium positions in the TT

[@bremCZ]

Of course they had to choose a non jumper. Choosing a motocross rider to do it wouldn't have been all that spectacular. He'd just show up, jump and leave.

[@pat4brown]

Brem my guess is that ‘They’ are North One TV who suggested it might be something Guy would like to have a go at, and a programme they’d like to make. And Guy being up for a challenge, said Yes.

[@bremCZ]

[@silverstreak440]

Exactly Brem . A moto cross rider doing the jump on 2 stroke 250 or 500 moto crosser or enduro bike would do it with ease . They have the right power to weight and suspension . As much as I like Triumph and that John Bloor invested in the Marque . That modern Triumph even shed of some some weight is still a lard- arse and way too tall in the saddle . Fair play to Guy Martin for always be up for a challenge .

The best way (at least for me )to listen to Guy Martin is to play the video at 3/4 speed. It really helps.

[@RicardoSilva-qp4bb]

LOL, I though I was the only one in need of subtitles to understand him :-)

[@lloydisaacs415]

The problem is that the bike you are going to be using is a modern day bike 4 times more power and every modern day gadget plus its half the weight of the original bike used on the movie its just a program showing someone jumping a bike

[@frankkemble2103]

This would have been infinitely more appealing had Guy Martin been doing the jump on the original and proper Triumph. This is a bit like a battle of Britain memorial flight where a Tempest is used instead of a Spitfire or Hurricane.

[@malcolmpickering2438]

God I love the comments section. Such a blend of dumbass and decent. 😉 Great video. Nice chats with those involved. Dunno why people get their panties in a bunch about how modified the bike is or might be, your interview style and if they don't understand that you could never show the actual jump in this vid, then, hell there's all kinda dumb out there.

Hollywood aside ...The great escape was real ..I work on a old RAF base in Nottinghamshire ...1943 was a Bloody year of losses for the squadron based at Langar, they lost 247 Airmen and ground crew that year. One of the members of 207 squadron, that was based there in 1943 was a an Airmen named Dennis oliver Street, He was in the real great escape,from stalag 3, after He escaped, he was captured by the gestapo and murdered at the side of the road.

Such a good guy and this bike is a beauty! Love it!

[@pnblondon1087]

I'm afraid I'm disappointed by that. Having seen the Channel 4 programme, I was hoping for more technical information, and in particular, a better comparison between the two bikes, but there was...none! All I learned was that the original 1200 Scrambler weighs 165kg and the jump bike is about 20kg lighter, plus it was fixed in off-road mode. No mention of the power or torque and precisely zero information about the original TR6. You didn't even tell us what capacity it is, let along the power, torque and weight. Nor the suspension travel!

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

I'm sorry, maybe we should have taken a brief off you before we went. We had very limited time, we were unable talk about the bikes too much because of a channel 4 embargo. We were lucky to get what we did!

[@StevesHornet900]

...talking of Guy Martin , I really enjoyed the recent television series with Christopher Timothy and Peter Davidson tootling around the UK in a Morgan - and I thought how good it'd be to have a couple of characters on a pair of classic bikes doing the same thing and visiting different bike meets. Guy Martin would be an ideal choice....but who'd be best person to be on the other bike....?

Beautiful bikes. The 1200 (specially in this guise) is a stunning bike.

[@itsonlycapnkirk]

Having watched the jump on tv I was disappointed on two fronts. First, the jump was over two fences not one at a time but secondly and most important for me, Guy was wearing a crash helmet, unlike Steve McQueen (Bud Eakins). If you are going to do a remake of an icon moment in the movie then if it was me, I would have dumped the crash helmet just before the jump, before anyone could scream 'Insurance' !!

Jon Jones I’ve interviewed Guy plenty in the past for print rather than tv. Guy loves to talk but if you don’t at least attempt to keep him on track with your questions, it’s hard to get them out of him. I had a specific brief with a specific set of questions that needed answers. This is the reason why I seem to be cutting him off half way through everything he says.

Kept telling me to stop using the arms/hands up and down every time I talked. Really infuriated me. Yet, he could talk, he used to nod and sway his head when he was talking, like a pivoting ball joined at the back. Yea, he could talk, but not about himself, the Luna Park clown.

[@mickcarson8504]

@Dario DeNiro I use my arms sometimes to explain to dickheads like the bastard at work a subject. I use them to point to a direction or to make a gesture about something. But the dickhead I was working with was being a dick to the point of causing harassment. He was eventually sacked, serving him right. I don't know how some fuckwits can have the audacity of going to work to antagonize and shit stirring other fellow workers. I am not a wavist, arms in the air as if to conduct a classical orchestra, but who doesn't use arms and hands when talking or pointing towards directions? Probably some ignorant dork born under a cow, yes? Or, someone who acts like the Muppets from the 60s TV comic series, "Thunderbirds", who hardly move their arms but only their jaws. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5TRdZp_mrOneKc www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DdwKLgTUb-EQ&ved=2ahUKEwiPmoGch6vmAhXbeisKHXa1DoQ4ChCjtAEwA3oECAEQCA&usg=AOvVaw1RL2UhCSm8yQi9pNX0lTRR

I was just a teen, all the tech the Japanese were coming out with in the 80s was already done 60 yrs before. As an old Mx racer I’d jump that on a early 70s Elsinore No problem , along with 1000 other old timers. At Indian dunes we had a big ramp river crossing jump that dwarfs that fence jump. Although jumping on that heavy stupid modern triumph would take big balls cuz I’d think the frame would brake and those rims would bend too. Good luck Guy Martin landing that beast is the tricky part.

The rumour is that McQueen was adamant that he was going to do the jump but the film makers and insurance company insisted that he be stopped and that it had to be the stuntman, So Bud Ekins was the man to do the famous jump. But McQueen and Ekins were best mates and arranged between themselves to swap at the last minute and that it is actually McQueen doing it on film but all the credits of the movie show Ekins as doing it.
