Late desert- and dirt-riding legend Steve McQueen isn¹t making many personal appearances these days, but you can get a pretty good second best at Dewsbury dealer Craigs Motorcycles new showroom.
The dirt bike dealer has a life-like replica of McQueen dressed as his alter-ego Harvey Mushman on an immaculately restored Husqvarna CR250, mounted 15 foot up on the wall.
McQueen rode a CR250 to tenth place in the 1971 Elsinore 200, racing under the pseudonym Harvey Mushman to get round studio rules prohibiting him from competing in bike events.
Craigs Motorcycles stocks the full range of KTM and Honda off-roaders. More
