Today in motorcycle history, Janury 12, 1964

  Elvis Presley arrives on his 1957 Harley-Davidson FLH at RCA's Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee, at around 6:30 p.m to begin recording.

  Elvis decides that he and everybody else is hungry and starts off this 5 hour session by sending out for a take-out order for all. After re-recording "Ask Me" and "Memphis Tennessee", from the May 1963 session, he delivers a moving performance of "It Hurts Me".

  This ballad would remain a personal favorite for several years, the 1957 Harley-Davidson panhead would remain a personal favorite right up until he died.
