Red Sox auction off a motorcycle

Attention Red Sox Nation! Beginning on Monday, Sox fans will be able to bid for a Harley-Davidson "Fat Boy" that has been autographed by the 2004 World Series Champion Red Sox on eBay. The highest bidder will no doubt treat the bike—which comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Curt Schilling and a clear "bubble" display case—like a member of the family. IPG's Hill, Holliday, Connors, Cosmopulos is auctioning off the chopper and plans to donate 100 percent of the proceeds to Bridge Over Troubled Waters, a Boston-based organization that helps homeless, runaway and high-risk youth. The auction will run for 10 days. "The money generated from this auction will go to one of the most important charities in our community," said Hill, Holliday president and CEO Mike Sheehan in a statement. "Through its tireless efforts, Bridge Over Troubled Waters has helped countless teens break the cycle of poverty, abuse and neglect by building secure lives and becoming contributors to the community."
