ATLANTA – On July 23rd, Triumph Motorcycles will auction the
iconic Scrambler ridden by action hero Chris
Pratt<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Pratt> in the global summer
blockbuster Jurassic World.
The bespoke bike, featured racing alongside Raptors in the film will be sold
by eBay<http://www.ebay.co.uk/> to the highest bidder, with the proceeds
going to Triumph’s nominated fundraising partner, The Distinguished
Gentleman’s Ride<http://www.gentlemansride.com/>. Three Scramblers were
customised for the film. One was presented to Chris Pratt as a gift after
filming, the second is displayed at Triumph’s headquarters in the UK and a
third is up for auction. This incredible once in a life time opportunity
gives motorcycle collectors and Jurassic World enthusiasts alike the chance
to experience the incomparable ride a Triumph provides while owning a piece
of rare and authentic cinematic memorabilia.

classic off-road influences with the Hinckley firm’s signature twin
cylinder, 865cc engine. Triumph has been a long-standing favourite of
Hollywood superstars past and present including; Steve McQueen, Marlon
Brando and more recently Bradley Cooper, George Clooney and Ryan Reynolds.
