Elvis the Pelvis

Sometime in 1955 after earning a regular income as a performing artist Elvis purchased his first Harley-Davidson. It was a small 1956 Harley-Davidson ST 165 (#56ST1603), basically an entry level motorcycle which he likely used to learn to ride.
It was a 165cc motorcycle sometimes incorrectly referred to as a Harley Hummer.
Technically speaking , the true "Harley Hummer" was only produced from 1955 until 1959, and it was a very basic, stripped down, no frills, 125cc motorcycle.
By January of 1956 he had outgrown it and was ready to move up to a bigger bike.On January 14, 1956, while still living at 1414 Getwell Road in Memphis, he bought a new 1956 Model KH (#56KH-1459) for $1143.00 from the Memphis Harley-Davidson Co. receiving $438.70 in trade for his ST 165. It is the motorcycle he is most often pictured with at his home on Audubon Drive and in the famous collection taken by Alfred Wertheimer, especially the one where Elvis is sitting on the bike looking dramatic and deep in thought.
In actuality he was looking at the tank since they had just run out of gas. Evan Williams wrote in The Harley-Davidson Reader that Elvis became a lifelong bike enthusiast and was a member of the American Motorcyclist Association, number 94587. In May of 1956 he appeared on the cover of Harley's The Enthusiast magazine riding his 56 KH.
Williams goes on to say that the article in The Enthusiast was one of the first public announcements that Elvis' contract had been sold by Sam Phillips to RCA.The K series were introduced in 1952 with a side valve 45 cubic inch motor.
The 56 Model KH was a 54ci (883cc) side valve motorcycle and the precursor to the ever popular Sportster which was released in 1957 with an overhead valve motor. Elvis' 56 KH was equipped with a windshield and an optional buddy seat.
In less than a year Elvis had moved up to an even larger motorcycle when he purchased a 1957 Harley-Davidson FLH. Brian Peterson in The Atomic Powered Singer wrote, "Elvis bought his new Harley on November 1, 1956 while he was in downtown Memphis to have his Continental Mark II insured. Later in the day Natalie Wood, clad in jeans, climbed up on the seat behind Elvis and they gunned out from the Audubon Drive driveway and roared around the Memphis streets for three hours accompanied by a motorcycle policeman and Nick Adams, who was riding Elvis' old Harley Davidson."It has been said that Elvis gave the KH to a friend, but according to Lamar Fike, Elvis long time friend and member of his "Memphis Mafia:, Elvis later traded it in towards a Harley 74 (1200cc) motorcycle for Lamar.
In either case in the early '90s Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Co. acquired it and has it to this day. For awhile it was on display in Milwaukee, WI and will be a part of their new museum there planned for 2008. Renditions of two famous photos of Elvis on his FLH and KH (the Wertheimer photo) became covers of two RCA releases, The Rocker and Return of the Rocker. After returning from the Army in 1960 he would buy many more motorcycles and remain an avid enthusiast for the rest of his life.

Rat Rods

Um "rat rod" é um estilo de carro que, na maioria dos casos, imita (ou exagera) os antigos carros "hot rods" dos anos 40, 50 e 60. Não confunda com os tradicionais "hot rods" que são recriações e restaurações de carros antigos com estilo esportivo. A maioria dos "rat rods" aparentam estar inacabados (em muitos casos estão mesmos) com apenas o essencial para poderem ser dirigidos. É a visualização de uma ideia funcional sobre a forma. Eles foram elaborados para serem dirigidos e não expostos em salões ou eventos embora muitas pessoas exponham os seus "rat rods" em encontros nos EUA e em outros países. A montagem de um "rat rod" inclui o uso de peças de varios carros juntos. Abaixo alguns modelos:

Bobber (Concept)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Bobber is a style of custom motorcycle that took shape in the 1950s and continues to be built today. Bobbers are related to choppers in that they both represent a minimalistic approach where everything is stripped from a bike that is not readily needed. This includes the characteristic rigid frame and shortened ("bobbed") rear fender.
The principle difference between bobbers and choppers is that bobbers are typically built around unmodified frames while chopper frames are often cut and welded into shape. They also often lack most of the chopper's aesthetic characteristics such as chromed parts and elongated forks. Thus, bobbers are fairly easy to create from stock motorcycles and are generally hand built.
