The 65-year-old grandfather from Bamber Bridge has customised his new Suzuki 125 as a tribute to the King, adding a gold bust of the star, an Elvis number plate, a DVD player to belt out hits, and countless pictures.

Heads turn and frowns become smiles as people clap eyes on the unique motor.

David, who always idolised Elvis, says people take photos and video clips of the bike as he passes, adding: "It must be the most photographed bike ever made!"

The retired Baxi worker got the bike six months ago and has been decorating it gradually since then. He said: "It spreads a bit of happiness, it's fun. I've had a fantastic response.

"It puts a smile on people's face. They dance around it. I have always liked decorating stuff, as a hobby, so I decided to have a go at the bike.

"It's fantastic, I'm really very pleased with it."

Other Elvis memorabilia on the bike includes a 3ft statue of the 1950s Elvis in gold jacket, black pants and guitar, which David bought at a car boot sale for £55, and two Elvis watches.

David says wife Carol is also an Elvis fan, but not to the same degree as himself.

He added: "I'm keeping him going. I'm not going to let him die out. People think my bike is fantastic. People want to know how I did it for a start, and they say how nice it looks."
