A unique motorcycle! This Friday in Lyon, a retired man will be auctioning off a Springer Harley Davidson motorcycle, which has the particularity of having belonged to Johnny Hallyday. Johnny Hallyday, reports BFM TV. The singer, a great fan of Harleyhad bought it in 1982 after spotting it on display in the store of Jean Basselin, who would later become his assistant.
The star kept the bike for several years, using it to travel to the filming of the video clip Diego, free in his head. Imported from the USA in the 1980s, the bike ended up at the home of Mickson, a biker living in Chauffry, Seine-et-Marne, who bought it from a private individual in 2014.
“Nobody believes me”
Completely overhauled and estimated at between 25,000 and 40,000 euros, Mickson reluctantly parted with it to finance his retirement. “When I’m out with friends, people stop and say, ‘Wow, she’s beautiful! No one believes me when I say she belonged to Johnny Hallyday,” he told BFM TV. There’s no doubt that it will be snapped up by one of Johnny’s fans!
