Bud Ekins Interview 

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

Steve and Bud...kings of cool.

Love this thanks for sharing the info he & Steve McQueen seem to had a lot of fun together .. RIP to both gentlemen

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...

That was a lovely tribute and so understated about his role as a double in movies and as a friend. Wonderful , Cheers Bud

Great story, and a very unassuming guy.

What a great life he lived

Thanks for sharing that.

What a great story love this ..

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.

He seemed like a nice guy.

Great video. Thanks for posting 🙏😀

4:01 Hair on McQueen. Ekins sounded like a nice bloke.

Fun fact: Steve McQueen looked up to him

All the bikers from the 40s, 50s, called them Motorsackles. !!

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.

Legend.

A very nice video!

Amazing guy.

How great to be a pal of Steve McQueen there's no escape how jealous i am

Grazie Bud.

A. Beautiful. Life.

Bud also did the motorcycle crash scene during the McQueen car chase in the Bullet movie.

Cool as the Cooler King....

An American 🇺🇸 Treasure

Great video :)

The third guy was probably a guy called Tim Gibbs.

Funny guy ! :)

Is that a Dutch dragon painted on the sidehack?

King of the Mint 400.

This was shot at the Paramount Ranch in Calabasas, which unfortunately burned to the ground last week.

wikipedia says he was born in Hollywood and died in Los Angeles... unusual considering his accent seems Minnesota/ Canada/ Alaska/ Palin

Life of a stuntman.. Hey we need you to fly this piece of shit motorcycle through this napalm explosion fire wall at 100 mph! Ok sure..
