Jeff Decker

The sculpture, showing Elvis on his 1956 Harley-Davidson KHK motorcycle, is meant to show off the King's love of two-wheelers. The bike is thought to have been one of his first major purchases after his rock-and-roll career took off.

The sculpture is five feet in height, seven feet in diameter, weighs in at ahalf-ton and has stainless-steel accents. It's the work of noted sculptor Jeff Decker, who is the official sculptor of Harley.

The reveal is part of Bike Week festivities at Destination Daytona, a shopping-condo-hotel development built around the world's largest Harley dealership.

Jeff Decker is an amazing artist who operates out of Springville Utah, not too far from the fabled Bonneville Salt Flats. In addition to being a serious rider, Jeff possesses a truly special understanding of motorcycles. You see, Jeff is a maker of sculptures and his chosen the iron horse as his subject. To date he has cast eight pieces, two of which we are showcasing in this gallery. The first, Boardtrack Racers is an evocative piece that recreates the fabulous spectacle of the wooden tracks that sprang up inside "dromes" all over America in the teens and twenties. Racers such as the legendary Don Johns mounted some of the most exotic race prepped motorcycles every produced and circled the tight oval track at speeds near ninety miles an hour or more.
