Elvis' last motorcycle.

With the King’s passing in August of 1977, the FLH was sold to a hotel owner in New Jersey ,and later displayed in a glass case at the Pioneer Auto Museum for over 30 years. Showing 1,261 miles on the odometer, and offered with its original keys and California pink slip, the FLH was sold by GWS Auctions in 2019 for $800,000.

I don't know. Someone with more knowledge and interest in that era of cars will have to jump in to answer your question. My interest only goes back to about the mid 60s.

I’m right. The car fender is from a ‘57 Chevy. I’d know that tail anywhere.

Since I'm grounded for a year until the FAA decides I won't suddenly have a heart attack with now-unblocked coronary arteries, my wife kicked me out of the house-- she's used to me being gone 20 days a month. Being home every day was driving her nutty.... so, kitchen pass.

I'm punching that ticket: 45 day road trip on my bike. 15 states. 8000+ miles. Camping 90% of the time.

Just a couple of pics to date:

GODDEN GR500 SPEEDWAY RESTOMOD FROM UNIKAT in Poland.

SPEEDWAY BIKES ARE the very definition of purpose-built. They’re brakeless, single-gear machines with bizarre proportions, designed to do one thing—go around a dirt track at angles that defy physics.

My latest acquisition

Lady Jane · 10-05-2023, 04:32 PM

Supercharged Rau-Honda CBR900 by Rocket Sprocket. Customs Rau frames were originally conceived by Manfred Rau, a German engineer. He made quite the name for himself back in the day by adapting frame construction technologies made famous by Fritz Egli and Bimota.

I've put 1,000 miles on this bike in the first two weekends after purchasing it and going through it to prepare it for being ridden. It will be 40-years-old in four-months. Six hours of the weekend rides were in driving rain, but I was well-protected!

And in good company!

///d · 10-11-2023, 04:11 PM
