Bronze Statue of Elvis and his Harley unveiled: Bruce Rossmeyer’s Destination Daytona, home of the World’s largest Harley-Davidson® dealership hosted an open-to-the-public unveiling of the one-of-a-kind life size “Elvis Presley on a Motorcycle” bronze sculpture, by world-renowned sculptor Jeff Decker.
The life-size sculpture is an exact replica of Presley’s original 1956 Harley-Davidson® KHK motorcycle. As history was revealed, the KHK was Presley’s first major purchase with his new founded fame and earnings. To ensure an exact duplication, Decker worked with a live model atop a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle in the traditional lost wax casting process. With the addition of stainless steel accents, Decker was able to bring the sculpture to life and reveal the dynamic contrast in colors and textures in striking detail. To conclude the process, Decker then welded the Elvis statue atop the motorcycle to produce the overall sculpture that stands approximately 5 feet tall, spans 7 feet in diameter and weighs approximately 1,000 pounds.
Destination Daytona is located at 1637 North U.S. Highway 1 in Ormond Beach, Florida. (News, Source EIN/SMeegin)
