Way back, not long after the middle of the last century, my old King used to ride in the boot,(trunk) of a Mercedes 220S which I bought because it was one of the few cars which could carry it out of sight (a good idea when doing night club gigs on the N side of Chicago) Sometimes with the quintet, the horn player, Paul, would drive his big Bentley which the ole boy seemed to like as well. Jake had a big ole Buick 225 Electra which could hold the Yorks and always had "A" tuba in it for taxation purposes - gotta carry a tuba to and from work to claim the mileage deduction! Harvey's little Conn seemed quite happy in the back of the big Ford.

Guess it comes down to, a big, solemn 6/4 would like the limo type treatment while a sporty lil thing like MAs Mw F might go for the Vette or E Type sort of transport. Jus don know bout dem long hair Harley riders.
