MOST FAMOUS Harley-Davidson EVER?

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

One of Elvis 's friends bought a Triumph and after a test ride of his friend's Triumph he called the shop and told them he wanted 5 of the same thing for his Memphis Mafia and he was going to pay off his friends bike note . The dealer thought it was a joke but no it was for real. He had to call up 6 other dealers to get the same thing but that day all of them got new Triumphs courtesy of Elvis.

I’ve heard the same but it was 9 bikes for 9 members of the Memphis Mafia.

How do I join the Memphis Mafia? Signed, Elvis fan who knows he's still alive.

[@trippontwowheels]

@majorlaff8682 If you find out, please let me know. Would love to join myself. Elvis lives!

@@trippontwowheels I could be wrong about how many bikes in total it was.

@trippontwowheels did you ever get the barn find harley going ? And did it really only take 30 minutes of Magical Mystery oil to free it up ?

[@larrys.3992]

Hay Tripp! My 1st Harley was a 1967 XLCH. It looked very much like Elvis sportster.

[@trippontwowheels]

Very nice! Whatever became of the bike?

Howdy Tripp! Many thanks for sharing one more beautiful story! I've heared about a small star conflict which has taken place in 1959 when Harley-Davidson gave away two special-edition FLH panhead Hydra Glide to two music icons. The first one was given to Jerry Lee Lewis, while the second bike went to Elvis Presley. And Elvis was a little bit bothered for not having the first.

[@trippontwowheels]

Cool story. I hadn’t heard that before. Thanks for sharing!

[@mihaimihai9254]

@@trippontwowheels As far as I know Jerry Lee's bike has been sold at an auction for around 385 000 USD.

[@Callitadayfool]

Trippontwowheels did you ever get the barn find Harley fired up ? And did it really take only half an hour with Magic mystery oil ? To free it up

[@trippontwowheels]

Yes I did! And if I remember correctly I let the MMO sit for several hours.
