I can't imagine why the Motorcycle manufacturer thought to give the Pope a Harley last June ?
A British Auction house has said that the Harley-Davidson
motorcycle which was given to Pope Francis by the manufacturer is to
go on sale along with the popes Harley leather jacket next month in Paris.
The
1,585cc Dyna Super Glide was given to the pope in June to mark
the 110th anniversary of the US motorbike maker.
The bike, which
is signed by Pope Francis on the petrol tank, is expected to fetch
between 12,000 euros and 15,000 euros ($16,400 and $20,500) when it goes
on sale at the Grand Palais in Paris on February 6.
The
pope donated the Harley in November to the Roman Catholic charity
Caritas Roma and the funds from the sale will go towards the restoration
of its Don Luigi di Liegro hostel and soup kitchen based at Rome's
Termini railway station.
"We
hope to be able to do both Pope Francis and Harley-Davidson proud by
raising a significant amount of money for a very worthy cause."
Laughable :
It is reported that
"Pope
Francis, 77, is not thought to have ridden the Harley, a make well
known for its use by motorbike gangs including the "Hells Angels"." lol
