Some prankster contacted the CZ motorcycle manufacturer, and ordered a spiffy 500 cc two stroke twin with a lot of gold plating, supposedly for papal escort duty. When it was done they contacted the Vatican, where of course they knew nothing of it, much less wanted the thing. Fortunately the bike still exists today.
Thanks Kim!
That's very interesting. The prankster had the last laugh. Still, would have been cool to see it in escort to the Pope. ;)
