Gerald Butler's Rat Bike from Machine Gun Preacher for Sale on eBay

The kingdom of Sparta wasn’t big enough for Hollywood star Gerald Butler, as he’s moved on to other things.
The latest project he is involved with is the upcoming “Machine Gun Preacher”, which is actually a true story about Sam Childers, a former drug-dealing biker who finds the good in himself and becomes a fighter for the hundreds of Sudanese children who've been forced to become soldiers.

Before we spoil too much of the movie, a trailer for which has also been published, we’ll focus on the self-described hillbilly from Pennsylvania’s wheels of choice.

We are talking about a 2010 Black Custom Built Chopper that packs a 1,340 engine CC engine and is being offered for sale on eBay, with all proceeds from the auction going to the real Sam Childers’ charity, Angels of East Africa.

The rat bike is a frame-santee wide tire rigid with a five-speed transmission, spoked wheels. It was built by Mark McCain and has drag-style handlebars and a a weathered paintjob.

The auction runs from today until October 6h, and bidding has started at $30,000.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
