Rare 1-Of-30 Harley Elvis Presley Edition Up for Grabs

Rock Icon

Even today, 42 years after his untimely passing, Elvis Presley is considered by many to be the most iconic figure in music history. But Presley was more than just a groundbreaking musician, of course. He was also a big-time Harley enthusiast.

Harley Fanatic

Presley bought his first Harley back in the '50s, even before he signed his first record deal and became an overnight sensation. No one knows exactly how many bikes he owned over the years, but it was easily more than a dozen.

Swag Included
