The Trikes of Elvis Presley

General Posts / By

TCB by Trikes.bikernet.com Editor Ujjwal Dey Taking Care of Business, our Trikes Editor has painstakingly compiled a comprehensive track on Elvis owned Trikes. Play the record, visit the Trikes site, feel the energy. Simply “The King” : The Trikes of Elvis Presley During the 1970s craze for Trikes, legend Elvis Presley rode these with joy “I wasn’t popular in school … I failed music—only thing I ever failed. And then they entered me in this talent show … when I came onstage I heard people kind of rumbling and whispering and so forth, ’cause nobody knew I even sang. It was amazing how popular I became after that.” – Elvis reminiscing about his 1953 song and dance routine. In 1954, Elvis finally got himself a job as a truck driver. A job many of us who dream and chase dreams know as the job that pays the bills for the expensive hobby of dreaming. In the summer of 1975, Elvis bought several Trikes (three wheeled motorcycles), the first of which was a 1975 Rupp Centaur with a 340cc two stroke engine. Within weeks two other types would follow. They were the 65 bhp, 1600cc Volkswagen engine trikes based on Ed Roth designs. The two VW Trikes were seen many times on the road with Elvis Presley riding it in and out of his Graceland home.

Gift Idea — A Billet Cigar Ashtray

General Posts / By

Boyd Motor Company’s Ryan Boyd has been a fan of fine-machined pieces of art all his life, and now he makes them. What started as the seed of an idea in his original Colorado shop has grown into the “Denver” cigar ashtray, which sold out with it’s initial run in 2015. The original billet cigar ashtray is back just in time for the holidays exclusively at Touch of Modern. “As a machinist, I always look not just at the end result but how to get there. If you look at the “Denver” ashtray, you will see the utmost attention paid to the tool paths and shaping to make this the ultimate single-cigar ashtray for your shop or desk,” says owner Ryan Boyd. “I produced a different limited-edition ashtray that sold out immediately just through word of mouth. I then decided to produce the Denver and get it out to a wider market, and Touch of Modern made that easy for me. Now just in time for the holidays I have made a limited run of 200 just for Touch of Modern”. A limited run of 200 Boyd Motor Company “Denver” ashtrays is available here until 12 p.m. PST, Friday December 2. They are discounted to $79.99 (from a retail price of $125).

General Posts / By

Lothario Fade introduced the girl to the ride confident she’d be amused and beguiled with his sanguine sway. As they dallied in line the dazzle of lights and whir of contraptions awakened his joy and roused reckless pulse within, he leaned close to her, inhaling the intoxicating aroma of her perfume, a whiff of lavender and hint of medicinal potent spirits. He slipped his dark hand around her naked waist, his thick fingers dawdling on the band of her polka dot pedal pushers while he eyed the contours of her tank top and pressed his lips to her ear, whispering.
