The king!

"One afternoon in early 1965,. I was with Elvis in his bathroom at his home on Purguia Drive in Bel-Air, as I was drying his hair, Billy Smith shoved his head into the room and said, 'Hey Elvis, they're here.' " Elvis smiled and told me he had a surprise. After work, we go out to the car park with the guys. A big truck (from the Bill Robertsons motorcycles) was being unloaded with 12 brand new Harley Davidson motorcycles. 650cc six blue six red ...Elvis told us it was his gift to us and we should choose what we wanted. After we selected one each, there was still a motorcycle left. Outside the gates, as usual, there was a crowd of fans and tourists. There was a boy of about 16 years old standing far from others and looking melancholy as we were speeding on our new motorcycles. Elvis asked me to follow him to the gate where the boy was leaning on. "Those are good bikes, aren't they? ”When the kid found out Elvis was talking to him. Stuttering and trying to get it out he said yes yes they sure are, Elvis asked if he had a bike and the little boy said no. Elvis laughed and put his arm around the boy and said to him, "Now you do!." Boy was frozen in his tracks!,..Elvis said "Come on man, I'm serious, take your bike" .
Elvis and I rode around and watched the little happy boy speed off on his new bike.
Elvis said to me, "Larry when I saw that look in that boy's eyes, I had to give him one. When I was his age, we were so poor I was lucky enough to have shoes.
