Danish motorcycle manufactuer Lauge Jensen last year created this custom bike designed by England’s famous striker Wayne Rooney which features bike features Rooney’s celebration after his amazing overhead goal against rival Manchester City in February 2011, that helped his team cinch the title.
The custom cruiser was auctioned off last June on eBay to help KidsAid, a Danish charitable foundation dedicated to helping children affected by illness.
The bike supposedly fetched an amazing £109,700 during the eBay auction, however the same bike will be back under the hammer, but this time auction will be carried out by Bonhams, on Wednesday February 20th with all the proceeds again going to the same foundation.
The motorcycle features an autographed ‘No 10’ football shirt mounted and lacquer-sealed onto the gas tank,a special shift rod incorporating 21 black AA diamonds and a white TW/VS diamond and the rear mudguard featuring artwork depicting Rooney’s celebration of his spectacular goal against Manchester City in 2011 that helped Manchester United claim that year’s Premiership title and was named ‘Best Goal’ of the season.
Wayne Rooney said: “I was really excited to have the opportunity to be involved in the design of a unique ‘Wayne Rooney’ Lauge Jensen custom bike.
The bike we have designed takes its inspiration from the celebration of my overhead kick against Manchester City last season.
The goal has been described by others as being of the highest quality and technical excellence, powerful and beautiful.
I hope you will agree that the bike is all of this and more.
The fact that the funds raised will go to kids in Denmark is a great way for me, on behalf of all the players at Manchester United, to say ‘thank you’ for the support we receive from the Danish people.
”The bike is now expected to fetch between £40,000 and £60,000.
