Default Elvis Presley

Did anyone hear a story about a guy finding out he owned a Harley that had belonged to Elvis Presley? The story was that he found a note under the seat with a message from Johnny Cash?

A mate told me he heard about this on the radio, but I can't find any record of the story.

Theres a variation on SNOPES.

Looks to be a BS story.

Andy Griffith did a twist on the same B.S. story 40 years ago with Barney's police bike.

He did own a Harley as I can remember seeing the pictures. I listen to channel 13 on Sirus radio the "All Elvis" channel and they tell a lot of things like this but I have not heard your story before.

It would be COOL to own one of his old bikes. I bet they would pay top $$$ for it at Graceland.

Elvis had a least 3 Harley's that I've seen him pictured on. Periodically a story pops up about some machine or other linked to him. Apparently he owned several hundred Harleys, quite a few Hondas, and a Sears garden tractor or two.
