The Rum Diary

Mid twenties, lone traveler, aspiring writer, beer enthusiast and bike lover. I relate to fictional characters, dream of owning a motorcycle, writing a book, opening a bar, and learning how to play the bagpipes before I die...

Steve McQueen has the Midas touch when it comes to things for guys. Persol  sunglasses, Rolex watches, t-shirts, Ford Bullitt mustangs and Triumph  motorcycles are just a few of the things guys everywhere lust after due (in no  small part) to McQueen. He obviously loved all of that stuff, but he had a  special place in his heart for Triumph motorcycles. Triumph is returning the  favor by producing a special edition Steve McQueen motorcycle for 2012. Each  member of the 1100 bike collection is based off of the Bonneville T100,  individually numbered and painted to match the military style matte green finish  of the bike McQueen insisted on riding during The Great Escape.  If McQueen were alive, he’d love this bike.
