That is one of the nicest RK's I've ever seen. Love the blue and black contrast.

I don’t have a photo. I’m sure you can visualize the picture.

Chicago in about 1955, A motorcycle policeman let me sit on his bike. From that day on I wanted to be a policeman and ride a motorcycle on duty.

Fast forward. I’m a policeman and have gone though the motorcycle class but the department never got motorcycles.

I made up for it by riding my own Harley.

Elvis was a serious rider (only dresser Harley's I think) throughout his adult life. Supposedly he was good at it, and good with other vehicles too. He used to have snowmobiles that would roll without snow. According to some biographies I've read, he kinda had this attitude where, if he took up some hobby/vehicle, he wanted to be really good at it. They have some bikes on display across the street from Graceland, but I can't remember too much about it because it was before I was into Harleys.
A friend who lived in Memphis told me there was this all-night pizza place with pictures of Elvis in person, in the '70's. He would ride his Harley down there in the dead of night and get bloated on pizza, right up until the end.

Nobody does 'retro' vehicles better than Harley. The new VW bugs being a runner up IMO.
