24 Vintage Photos That Prove Elvis Presley Was Also a Motorcycle Enthusiast

Elvis could stroll to the garage and decide which motorbike to fire up for a ride. He had a choice. A vintage Harley Pan-head or a Honda Dream, or perhaps a Triumph bike. Most likely it would be his favorite Harley-Davidson Dresser.

“Most loved bike Elvis owned was the Harley Dessert. They were police-type bikes. Bigger and close to the ground just what Elvis loved,” says Ron Elliot, the proprietor of Super Cycle, a Memphis motorbike shop that took care of all Elvis motorcycle business.
