Jennings was supposed to have been with Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson when the crooners were killed in a 1959 small plane crash

The bike is among 2,000 items that Jennings’ estate is putting on the auction block Sunday online and at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix.

New York City-based auction house Guernsey’s first approached Jennings’ widow, Jessi Colter, about selling the motorcycle.

Jennings’ career spanned five decades with 16 No. 1 country singles. He also formed The Highwaymen with Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash.
