Are there any motorcycles that Elvis ever owned?
Earlier this week we wrote an article about an Elvis-owned Harley that was going to auction. Apparently, you guys love Elvis bikes because that story was consistently our number one most popular story since we published it. So, since you can’t get enough of Elvis and motorcycles, I decided to give you what you want.
When did the first custom chopper come out?
Choppers have been making their presence known on the highways since the 1940s when returning servicemen began taking apart factory models of motorcycles and modifying them into stripped-down and chrome-embellished custom bikes.
What kind of car did Elvis Presley drive?
Elvis’ chopper was the platonic ideal of the late-60s, SoCal chopper. It was a ’66 shovelhead FLH with a peanut tank, a narrowed and extended front fork, Sportster fender, a super tall high-rise seat with sissy bar, and about an acre of chrome.
When did Elvis Presley get his first bike?
Probably the distance to the nearest service station since he was looking in the tank because he’d just run the bike out of gas. By late 1956, Elvis was riding high and had outgrown the sporty little KH. So, in search of something more suitable, he went on down to the Memphis Harley-Davidson Co. that November to check out the new bikes.
