Motorcycle Signed by the Movie Stars from Captain America: The First Avenger Up for Auction

While fans flood cinema theaters across the world to see the Captain America: The First Avenger movie, Harley-Davidson and Marvel Studios announced they will auction a 2011 V-Rod Muscle VRSCF that was signed by the stars from the aforementioned film. All the proceeds from the sale will benefit the Disabled American Veterans (DAV).

Some of the stars who autographed the motorcycle during the film's world premiere in Los Angeles include Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Neal McDonough, director Joe Johnston, as well as comic icon Stan Lee.

The auction will take place on eBay and bids will be accepted from July 28, 2011 through August 4, 2011. In addition to the auction, Captain America fans can visit a participating Harley-Davidson dealer to secure an exclusive poster featuring Captain America on his 1942 Harley-Davidson "Liberator," while supplies last.

"Captain America and Harley-Davidson are both great symbols of freedom, but we can never forget the brave men and women who have made extraordinary sacrifices to protect our way of life," said Dino Bernacchi, Harley-Davidson's director of Marketing Communications. "We're excited about the potential of this unique auction to strengthen our relationship with the Disabled American Veterans and the work they do."

Harley-Davidson collaborated with Marvel Studios to provide several motorcycles for Captain America: The First Avenger, which traces Captain America's origins as a World War II era Super Hero who rode a military motorcycle as a means of transportation. During World War II, Harley-Davidson produced and dispatched approximately 90,000 motorcycles overseas to support the war effort.
