"Why does this Pope, or any Pope for that matter, need a Harley?"

Who doesn't?

A few years ago I helped move the motorcycle museum in Anamosa Iowa. They have several Broughs and Vincents. I was a nervous wreck loading and unloading those!

He was given a leather jacket and two motorcycles last summer by Harley, and he's selling them all to give to a hostel near the Termini train station, kind of a nice story. Here's the coverage from last summer's Harley rally in Rome, which looks like fun:

I wonder what the bids would be like on this beautiful jacket:

It’s called the “Harley Owners Group” (or HOG) because so many owners aren’t riders. I worked with several guys who rode all the time but there was that one who owns one but hasn’t ridden it for years. He was the only “Harley snob” of the bunch.

So What? What good is it sitting in the Vatican garage? The charities the proceeds of the auction will be given to are are more needy than a pope with a hog in a garage.

And since it's his, he can do with it as he wants.......

That was EXACTLY my point. A Freeper asked WHY he needed a Harley....I just answered.
