Harley-Davidson Road King Police Cemetery in Peru
This is actually an old story from 1998, but somehow the photos keep popping up. In Lima, located in western Peru, the Harley-Davidson Road King was used as a police motorcycle during this period.
However, the national police force in Puente Piedra encountered problems with maintenance and spare parts, which were not due to the machines themselves.
In 1997, there were various changes to the law in Peru, such as the abolition of judicial anonymity and the extension of military jurisdiction, which meant that no one was safe in the country anymore.
It took until 2008 before they sold the dusty Harleys in batches to Harley enthusiasts for an average of $1,300 at auction.
The bikes then went on an international journey, and as is often the case, they were rebuilt, repainted, and then put back on the market for an average price of $12,000.
Once again, you can see that even if the pile of iron looks completely worn out, it's always worth getting it back on the road.
