Photos that made you want an FLH

Years ago I saw this photo (or one similar) of Elvis on his 57 FLH.
At the time I saw it in the mid 70's the FL front ends were in the same category as black horn rimmed glasses.
Even so this picture had me wanting an FLH.

Awesome pic! I love those old pics of Harleys of yesteryear. It's heart-warming to me to see what a piece of American history these bikes really are.

Thank you... thank you very much.

Never was much of an Elvis fan, so him sitting on a scoot wouldn't have moved me in that direction.
He may have owned it, but did he ride?

According to hearsay, he road quite a bit. Personally I didn't know the man, so can't say if it's true or not.
