Want to Buy the Pope’s Harley?

In February, Bohnams auction house in Paris will allow both the Catholic and the Harley faithful to bid on a Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide owned by none other than Pope Francis, himself. Given to the Pope last year as part of the Harley-Davidson 110th anniversary celebration, the bike was unlikely to become the Popecycle because of the security required to protect the pontiff. The Pope donated the Dyna to the Roman Catholic charity Caritas Roma but not before signing the tank with “Francesco” at a special ceremony at the Vatican last November.

Style Your Garage with a Harley

If you ever wanted to own a Harley-Davidson Road King or a Night Rod Special but just don’t have the available funds at the moment, well you can fake it till you make it with a 3-D garage mural from styleyourgarage.com for only $59 + shipping.  Since this garage billboard was developed in concert with Harley (according to the site) they can offer it at this cut rate. Check out some more samples after the jump.

Riding a heavy, slow Harley-Davidson XR750, the American daredevil had serious reservations about the jump, admitting the take-off ramp was too short, therefore limiting the bike's speed. But even though the plucky American knew his chances of pulling off the stunt were slim, he was reluctant to disappoint the 80,000-strong Wembley crowd.
