PH2: Christ on a bike!

Pope blesses Harley tanks



One of the most bizarre press releases PH2 has ever seen has just dropped into our inbox...

To celebrate its 110th year anniversary, Harley-Davidson has had two petrol tanks blessed by Pope Benedict XVI. Yep, that's right, his holiness will be blessing then signing the tanks and Willie G Davidson (grandson of Harley founder Bill Davidson) and Bill himself will then add their signatures to the tanks. Once lacquered over the tanks will be fitted to bikes and one auctioned off to support the Good Samaritan Foundation charity and the other returned to the Harley museum in Milwaukee.

This bizarre publicity stunt is to help promote Harley's 110th Anniversary event which takes place in Rome on June 13-16.

Oh God!
What will HD sink to next?
Charity benefits, but........
And is Willie G still alive? The followers will probably now call him Saint Willie G of Milwaukee

Just noticed. Willie G isn't wearing his trademark Beret. Didn't recognise him. Probably had to have it surgically removed for the occasion....

hell yeah. But I expect the Hells Angels are less corrupt than the Vatican rifraf, they might not want to taint their image by association....

That's not Jesus that's a young Chuck Norris.

I wish the Pope had blessed the fuel tank in my GS500F - maybe I wouldn't have been knocked off last saturday and it then wouldn't be at least 6 weeks before I can ride again

So is this saying, one of the founders of HD is going to sign the tank in the company's 110th anniversary year? Did the Pope bring him back to life, or is he actually over 130 years old?

I hear they're also bringing out a limited edition fatboy - the choirboy.

Each one will be test ridden by a priest before sale.

A spokesman for the Vatican declined to comment. Allegedly.

That confused me at first.
