I had the great honor of meeting and shaking hands with Mr. Bud Ekins in his shop in Hollywood , amid his antique motorcycle and car collection. R.I.P. mr Ekins
That was great. Thanks. I used to take my Triumph to Bud's shop on Ventura for repairs. Steve ad he used to trail ride ion the hills separating The Valley from LA proper. That must have been a big Bonnie they used for he jump scene.

Love this thanks for sharing the info he & Steve McQueen seem to had a lot of fun together .. RIP to both gentlemen
That was a lovely tribute and so understated about his role as a double in movies and as a friend. Wonderful , Cheers Bud
Steve was cool,Bud equally so.R.I.P. Steve and Bud.🏁🏍
What a cool dude. That's the first time I've heard him interviewed. Great storyteller.
Some people make life fun at the right time....all those guys and that time was the right time...
What a great life he lived
Great story, and a very unassuming guy.
Steve and Bud...kings of cool.

He seemed like a nice guy.

Fun fact: Steve McQueen looked up to him
Figuratively and literally
All the bikers from the 40s, 50s, called them Motorsackles. !!
Great man one of my heroes im60 year rider
4:01 Hair on McQueen.
Ekins sounded like a nice bloke.
A very nice video!
Bud also did the motorcycle crash scene during the McQueen car chase in the Bullet movie.
Amazing guy.
I HOPE BUD HAD FAITH IN JESUS, SO WE CAN RIDE BIKES WITH STEVE IN ETERNITY.
Guess who rode up the Delta House stairs on a Triumph in the , Animal House , movie....
He should go on Pawn Star and see how much he can get for one of his motorcycles. I would say at least half what he is asking for.
Rather difficult to do because he died in 2007.
Grazie Bud.
How great to be a pal of Steve McQueen there's no escape how jealous i am
Ditto
Legend.
A. Beautiful. Life.
The third guy was probably a guy called Tim Gibbs.
Cool as the Cooler King....

This was shot at the Paramount Ranch in Calabasas, which unfortunately burned to the ground last week.
Aww, that's sad. Hopefully no one got hurt.
