Since it is a well-known trait of famous people to "identify" themselves with a motor vehicle, I wonder about Tiger Woods.

I have a pic of Elvis Presley on his Harley. I will post it here.

It would be fun if you other forum readers who have pics of famous people with a motor cycle posted your pics here too!

The Harley that Elvis was riding looks like a Road King. Elvis' bike has a kick start and I think a ridig frame with a shock or plunger under the seat. Also that seat was designed to be big enough for two. I guess about 1958. A Cadillic on two wheels.

Nice Bike...

If "Harley" is the name of a cocktail waitress in Vegas, then yes, he probably rode it....(er, her I mean).

You mean the present day Road King looks a lot like Elvis' bike. He had a few Harleys in his day, but the one you're referring to is newer than a '58. It's an FLH model Shovelhead, probably early 70's, and if you look closely you can see a shock absorber on the rear just in front of the saddlebag. You're right about the seat; there was a spring inside a post that the "buddy seat" was mounted on, giving even more comfort when riding over bumps and road imperfections.

That ain't a Harley, but I do like those old Triumphs. Nice girl, too... don't recognise her, though.

EDIT: Ann-Margret.

Guessing its an early to mid-sixties Triumph TR6 with the scrambler pipes.

Yes, that is a picture of Ann-Margret but is it posed? Did she ever ride it? If so, it shouldn't count. Love the Triumph though.
