Harley-Davidson Road King Police Cemetery in Peru
This is actually an old story from 1998, but somehow the photos keep popping up every now and then. In Lima, which is located west of Peru, the Harley-Davidson Road King was used as a police machine during this time.
The national police of Puente Piedra had problems with maintenance and spare parts, but this was not due to the machines.
In 1997 there were various legal changes in Peru, such as the abolition of the anonymity of judges and the expansion of military justice, which meant that no one was safe in the country either way.
It took until 2008 for them to sell the dusty Harleys in batches to Harley enthusiasts at auction for an average of $1,300.
The bikes then went on an international trip and, as it goes, they were rebuilt, repainted and then put back on the market for an average of $12,000.
Once again you can see that no matter how finished the iron heap looks, it is always worth putting it back on the road.
