Holy Hogs: Video of the Pope Blessing Harleys in Rome
by John Coyle
When news first broke that the Pope would be blessing Harleys in honor of the iconic brand’s 110th Aniversary, I was most definitely in the “believe it when I see it camp.”
And given that the Vatican pulled a hot swap on the Pope in the months before the event, I was even more skeptical. Would His Holiness wind up blessing bikes–fairly or unfairly–more associated with heathens and hell raising than bible banging?
Well turns out he did, and here’s video to prove it. The event might now be a matter of record, but it’ll up to you to determine whether the blessing will help a bike’s bottom line, as one owner apparently hopes.
