Went on a tour of Graceland today and saw this photo in the car/motorcycle collection and thought it a cool photo. Shooting with an Iphone in no light so sorry for the quality but hey Elvis would no doubt have a CVO if he was with us today!!!

One cool dude in those days, left too soon and I still listen to his music while I ride and yes, I think he'd have a CVO. Didn't Bruce Rossmeyer customize some Road Kings with the Elvis touch few years back, they looked pretty cool.

That is a cool, and famous photo.  A google search says that is Elvis Presley's 1956 orange-and-white Model KH. This motorcycle is the only Elvis-Harley actually owned by the company.   :nixweiss:

My Ex sister in law now deceased went to California in the late 60"s with her girl friend to meet Elvis.  They stood outside his gated home until he and his body guard pulled up on their Harley's.  They took the girls for what I would say was the ride of their lives.  All this was documented with a browning camera and I believe my niece now has all the photos of this trip since her mother passed away. 

MY brother was not happy to see them, marriage lasted about 3 years total 8)
