LOL; I ain't near cool enough to pull that off....might try the sunglasses tho
I saw a Harley like this in a museum once, that claimed to be Elvis’s Harley,
Then again I saw a Triumph that was supposed to be the one that Evel Kneivel jumped at Ceasars Palace and the Captain America Harley from Easy Rider………but I’m pretty sure they weren’t really the originals.

The Ceaser’s Palace bike broke in half upon landing. Do you think someone repaired that mess?I saw a Harley like this in a museum once, that claimed to be Elvis’s Harley,

The Ceaser's bike did not break in half...thats an urban myth. If you watch the Linda Evans/John Derek movie footage, you can clearly see it gets pretty torn up but certainly didnt break in half.
Here's the actual aftermath:
That myth has been perpetuated on screen. Thanks for the clarification.
Much like the many myths about the James Dean crash and what happened to the car. Seems that as far as the car goes, there is no definitive answer, Perhaps there will be "Indiana Jones and the Missing Spyder" one day.
Specifically, it was my belief that the frame bent or broke at the neck. I'm going forward with today's information as it isn't important enough for me to research it. If it's the real deal, certainly it's of high value.

UP FOR AUCTION THIS WEEK: https://www.carandclassic.com/aucti...ek=2023-09-16T09:30:45Z&bsft_lx=33&bsft_tv=27
Luv that Gladstone!
Followed the link, loads of piccies and details on the Car & Classic webpage. No indicative price given and as I write this, the auction starts in eleven minutes. But, uhm, I don't think I'll be bidding; this one could go for real money.

Thought i'd share a picture of one of my other projects. Still not done and on the road yet, but it looks like a proper motorcycle again. 1974 FLH
Wonderfully dated promotional film, how tastes and styles have changed.
