Lowbrow Customs has a history of the Sportster on their website. It's a nice run-down of the history with a nice selection of photos - some factory stuff, some chopper stuff. There's a photo of Elvis on his "K" model that Surly and I saw at a museum at Niagara Falls years ago. I also saw an Electra Glide owned by Elvis out west some place - The Corn Palace neighborhood, maybe.
I was planning on working in the shop yesterday, but things didn't go as planned. I got my bike ride in in the morning, fooled around on the computer a bit, and after checking the weather, figured I had better mow the front yard before the storm came in. The Missus was planning on going uptown, so I got her car out and started mowing. I was about half finished and saw her sitting on the steps. Rather odd behavior for the old bird since it was a humid and sunny ninety-degree day. Seems she took a tumble coming out the front door. I tried helping her up but we couldn't get it done. Fortunately, my neighbor was available, so he gave me a hand and we got her back inside. Those I've fallen and can't get up commercials aren't so funny anymore. Might be time to give Life Alert a call. Especially since she's not real diligent about keeping her phone close at hand.
I didn't make it out to the shop but I did order an air cleaner and the pieces to make up the coil wire for the trials bike. Depending on the weather and the condition of the Missus, I'm hoping to get out there today.
