• George Clooney is selling his Harley-Davidson for charity, and bids are already topping R360,000.
• The actor's 2017 Dresser Touring is up for sale on eBay for Charity Homes for Our Troops celebrity auction. 
• All the proceeds from Clooney's bike will go to Homes for Our Troops, a non-profit that provides adapted homes for severely injured post-9/11 veterans.
• According to the item's listing, Clooney has been told to give up motorcycle riding by his wife Amal after he was involved in a scooter accident in Sardinia last year. 
• Over 40 items and experiences were donated by celebrities to be auctioned off in the event, including a meet and greet with Jake Gyllenhall and a tennis match with Owen Wilson. 

Fans of the "Ocean's Eleven" star may remember the headlines from last year when he was involved in a scooter accident in Sardinia.

Although Clooney's injuries from the crash were not serious, it seems it was enough to shake up his wife Amal, who has apparently told him to ditch the two-wheelers.

According to the item's eBay listing, "ever since George Clooney's motorcycle accident, his wife Amal has told him he's off two wheels for good."

Clooney's Harley has just 40 km on the odometer and will come signed by the actor himself, though the winner of the auction must be able to collect the motorcycle from Los Angeles.

Biddings on the bike will run until Thursday, November 15 - and they're already rising fast.

According to the listing, the manufacturer's suggested retail price for the bike is $28,000 (almost R391,000), and Clooney's pre-owned model is already up to $26,100 (some R360,000) at the time of writing, with eight days left to go.

Clooney's Harley is just one of the myriad pieces of celebrity memorabilia and experiences up for grabs in the eBay for Charity auction.

Bidders also have the chance to win a pair of sneakers autographed by Ellen DeGeneres, a pair of Under Armour sneakers signed by Steph Curry and the opportunity to sit with Ben Stiller courtside at a New York Knicks game.

According to eBay, its charity function has raised nearly $810 million (R11.3 billion) to date.
