A 1931 Harley-Davidson once owned by actor Steve McQueen sold for $75,000 at auction. Collectors turned out in force for the machine tied to the legendary actor.
A bike McQueen rode already carries a story like a scene from a movie, just from that alone. The presence of a pre-war Harley overlapping with the memory of a great actor — I understand wanting the whole atmosphere that comes with it. A story residing in an object is an irreplaceable kind of charm.

Is a Harley from this era actually in rideable, self-powered condition?
Auction listings are usually already restored and roadworthy in most cases.
If it were an Indian from the same era, the price might have jumped even higher.
Just being connected to a legendary actor gives it real romance -- curious about its condition.
$75,000 -- I don't have a good sense whether that's fair or cheap for a rare bike of that era.
A 1931 model is already pre-Knucklehead, in the Flathead era.
Feels like the McQueen-ownership premium accounts for most of the price in the end.
