A Famous Motorcycle Jump Re-Enacted
Video: The Great Escape, re-enacted: "Steve McQueen’s bike jump is an iconic movie moment, but is it as authentic as it looks? To find out, we recreated it."

Cool. The Great Escape, along with Kelly's Heroes, is my favorite war movie.
My wife firmly believes that there is a "The Great Escape appreciation" gene built into the Y chromosome.
My dial-up is too slow to watch videos. But, I remember McQueen's jump on a heavy Harley or Indian. I have a Hog and there's no way I could get that thing to come out of a ditch and jump a fence.
What kind of bike was it? Was the jump re-enacted?
Live to ride, ride to live
The bike was an American Triumph, very heavy. The jump was indeed recreated. Sort of.
