Reading AuctionBytes: President, Governors Autograph Motorcycle for eBay Charity Auction
A one-of-a-kind Harley-Davidson motorcycle will be auctioned on eBay to benefit the Space Shuttle Columbia Educational Legacy, an instructional program for middle school students to encourage careers in math and science and aerospace/aeronautical engineering.
Idaho Governor Dirk Kempthorne and some friends were tinkering with their motorcycles when they had the idea for the creation of a unique educational legacy in memory of the Space Shuttle Columbia Astronauts. "We lost seven of America's finest on February 1, 2003. But the spirit of Columbia lives on in a way that would make the Astronauts proud," Kempthorne said. "Together with President Bush, the nation's governors, and a volunteer team, we will inspire young Americans to take up where the explorations of the Columbia heroes stopped so tragically."
The auction for the 2003, 100th Anniversary model Road Glide (FLTRI) motorcycle autographed by President Bush and the states' governors will run from May 30 to June 10 on eBay. The Kompolt Online Auction Agency is managing the auction.
