Manchester City boss Mancini bans Balotelli from riding his Harley Davidson around town

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli 'could' be flying around Manchester this year on a Harley Davidson!

City's Italian striker has treated himself to a Harley-Davidson.

But he won't be recreating scenes from Easy Rider any time soon after his gaffer Roberto Mancini told him he was banned from driving it.

A source told The Sun: "Mario has this huge Harley.

"It cost him a few quid and he's bought all the added extras - expensive leathers, helmet and all the rest of it.

"But he asked the club for permission to ride it and was laughed out of the room. It contravenes strict insurance rules for the club's players."

When Paul Gascoigne was in Glasgow playing for Rangers he bought a Harley. But when he sold his house he forgot he owned it and the people who moved in found the chopper in their garage.

Mario has a lot of Gazza about him. It's probably a blessing their paths haven't crossed yet.
