8. Steve McQueen
Steve McQueen is by any account one of the most iconic motorheads ever to grace the 20th century. Decades after his passing he pops up and pop culture, advertising and still has a huge fan base. In addition, he was a huge motorcycle collector. And the stories behind some of them are pretty epic. For starters, one of his, the Husqvarna 400, sold on eBay. It had all of the original bearings and gaskets. McQueen also left his Triumph Desert Scrambler. It had a custom built Rickman Chassis and was painted his favorite shade of slate gray. And how can you forget the Triumph TT 650, used for the movie The Great Escape. In it, McQueen did most of the stunt riding.
