[The Mysterious Q!]

I think I saw one in San Diego  It was gold with ostrich and alligator seat and saddle bags. I heard it went pretty good too. Later,Q

Thanks for posting, VaEagle.  I sent the link to several already.

Would not surprise me to see another Elvis edition at a later date, or an extended run beyond the original 30.

Bruce Rossmeyer, CEO of 12 Harley-Davidson locations around the country - including the world's largest dealership in Daytona, Florida, and the all-new Graceland Harley-Davidson - will unveil the new Elvis Presley Anniversary Bike Signature Series at Graceland on April 22nd.

mmmmmmm Hey BB, your friend is going to make another million in the next few months after this is done.  fat ba$tard!   

[VAZHOG]

That Bike will go great with my "The Elvis Presley Taking care of Business Tribute Revolver" .357 S&W Magnum model 686, Just right for shootin' out televisions!

The Bike that won't ever be ridden can sit right next to my Gun that will never been fired

Roger,
I think you're on to something there. It's all dressed up and doesn't mine getting out and showing its stuff. You might say that it is a representative of a young Elvis when he was dancing and doing all the gyrations that made the women scream.

 
Ride Safe,

I already heard from "she who sits on the passenger seat and sometimes sleeps" that a trip to Memphis in August may be in our future now.

I was @ Destination Daytona earlier today.  They had info on the E bikes & all.  Turned down 2 raffle opportunities to win a bike & a truck.

Yeah, when I was there last weekend they almost chased me around the parking lot trying to sell me those damn raffle tickets.  Must be getting a commission or something...too aggressive for me.

Heard you had a great trip.

I sensed when the gal said "hey babe" or "hiya honey" that she was more interested in my raffle purchasing potential than anything else. 

They had a lifesize Elvis cut out to help market the E bikes.  I hope Rossmeyer doesn't lose any money on this venture.

Lets hope he does. I've got my Elvis Trade marked, I sue Fat Bastard for all he's worth, take over his dealerships, sell bikes and parts for 10% over cost and be everyone's hero

hmmmmmmmmmmmm   I gotta watch these noontime naps. Weird dreams

VaEagle tanks for post

[jeffj]

Is this a MoCo scooter or a Dealer made Elvis scooter 

Just wonder if he is doing an in-house customization or it's from the MoCo

Be a huge difference in resale value, I would think

B B, when you get the dealerships call me, I can assure you that your plan to sell at 10% over works this way:

How do you become a millionaire with 12 Harley stores selling parts at 10% over?  Start with more than a million.

I ain't got no money now Roger and I'm happy. Dreamed of owning an H-D dealership since I was 12. So if I didn't have any money and owned the dealership, I'd be where I am now only happier.

PS
     The 10% is over cost. Cost in my world includes what it cost to put it on the shelf including building the shelf and the building the shelf is in and paying the utilities for the building the shelf is in and paying the guy to put it on the shelf. I've said before Rog you must have missed that post. My mother didn't raise no fools for sons.

[patrickt]

They don't state what they are doing with bike #30.  Harley museum?

Patrick

[ccr]

Did they say what they are doing with #1?  I thought that one might be scheduled for the museum.

Article said, "Motorcycle 'No. 1' will be offered for sale for $100,000 and $40,000 will be donated to the American Diabetes Association."

[ccr]

Good one Nancy, I missed that.  And what a wonderful charity to donate that 40,000 to.  I gotta say, that HD might be bad at some stuff, but they are fantastic at raising money for charities, especially ADA.

Graceland Harley Davidson is nothing more than a t-shirt shop across the street from Graceland, near Elvis' planes.  It is owned by a nearby dealership across the state line, in Mississippi.  We went to both, a couple months ago.

Elvis #1 going for $100k is probably going to Jay Leno.  You know that he has Harley F-150 truck #1, also, in his collection.

No offense JCZ, but I seriously doubt a collector of Jay Leno's calebre would be sucked in by a Bruce Rossmeyer " exclusive " This bike isn't gonna be worth jack chit down the road because it's a modifed H-D without it's own OEM VIN. It'd be different if Elvis were alive and was in on it and H-D themselves were behind it, but this is no different in my view than my 03 SERK " Elvis " Just cause it's got a lot of cool stuff and I call it Elvis doesn't make it collector bike. Neither Bruce Rossmeyer nor I are Elvis or Priscilla or Lisa Marie, so everything else is just licensing and marketing BS.
 
I could be wrong though. I was shocked that Leno had anything to do with the OCC clan, but that was probably something his producer cooked up.

Nostalgia is a great thing - just hope they don't come with the problems from the period

Spiderman - your spot on with those comments, unfortunately I reckon some mug will get roped in to buy it.

Yupper! all it takes is a fool and his money. Thanks PT Barnum!!

[mr_magoo]

Amost 60,000 for it, well I'm sure that they will sell.

Why ? Do you really think Fat Bastard is gonna do that much. I'll bet he takes a stock Softail Deluxe and adds fringed leather bags, a solo seat with a chrome seat rail, paint won't be much beyond stock, and a few bolt-on H-D accessories. Guarantee they won't do anything to the motor. Maybe fishtail mufflers or the old style panhead pipes. He'll put a number plate on it somewhere that says x of 30 and give you a certificate attesting to the fact. Is the MoCo behind this? When you run the VIN will it say it's a CVO  ?  NO to both.

   Give me $60k and a starting point of any stock H-D and I'll bet you'd end up with a way better motorcycle. I mean I'd have $40k to customize the damn thing. $5k for paint, $6k for chrome,$4k for wheels and tires, $6k for the motor, $8k for custom leather seat and bags, $6k for labor and and $5k in my pocket and I know it'd look better than anything Fat Bastard comes up with.

No argument from me on any of that, BB.

Some morons will walk in Bumpus, look at the Elvis paint and some stuffed hound dog on the bats, their sweeties will say, oh my! and they will shell out the dough and go brag to their friends about their 'custom.'  Completely ridiculous and figure they will be at LEAST $10k over priced.

Maybe some day one of them will post here.  As a newbie.   heh heh
