Date Posted: 04:53:45 02/13/14 Thu In reply to: MotobkeBob 's message, "Pope sells his Harley" on 04:46:45 10/22/13 Tue The Pope’s Harley-Davidson and jacket are believed to have fetched world-record prices. After a bidding war lasting six minutes, auctioneer Bonhams said the bike – given to Pope Francis by Harley-Davidson – was sold to a private buyer in Europe for €241,500. The jacket also given to the Pontiff by Harley, went to an anonymous "overseas buyer" for €57,500. Ben Walker, head of motorcycles at Bonhams, said "In my whole career I've never had more interest in one motorcycle than this one and it's gone viral. I've had inquiries from across the globe.” The money will go towards the renovation of a hostel and soup kitchen in Rome run by the charity Caritas.
