Honolulu Bikers Spread Christmas Cheer

Thousands of island bikers are riding to raise money for children's Christmas presents. Video

Bikers bring Christmas joy

BY MICHAEL INMAN (Canberra Times)

THE SIGHT of bikers roaring into Civic might, under other circumstances, send parents and children scurrying.

But yesterday the region's motorcycle riders showed their softer sides as they donated money and toys to St John's Care and the Salvation Army at the Canberra Motorcyclists' Toy Run. The 28th annual run was the largest ever, attracting more than 1000 bikers from about 10 ACT clubs, including the Ulysses Club and the Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club.

The whiskered, leather-clad bikers donned red Santa caps and opened their wallets to raise more than $6500 for St John's Care, while the Salvation Army was inundated with hundreds of toys to ease the burden on battling families.

Message from Mega Scooter Club, Alicante:

V CAMPAÑA NACIONAL MOTERA DE DONACIÓN 2008

Estimados Amigos:

Por quinto año consecutivo, la Asociación Mutua Motera lanza su Campaña de Donación. En esta edición, la Semana Motera de Donación será del lunes 16 al sábado 21 de Junio.

En Alicante del 16 al 20 será en el centro de transfusiones del Hospital de San Juan y el sábado 20 será en el Hospital de Elche.

Os rogaria que, a ser posible, indicarais la intencion de ir a donar y el número aproximado de donantes, para hacer una prevision de personal en los puntos de donación.

Como ya sabéis, somos un colectivo especialmente afectado por la siniestralidad en carretera y, conscientes de la importancia de que existan reservas de sangre y hemoderivados en los hospitales, así como de la trascendencia de la donación de órganos para mejorar la calidad de vida e incluso salvarla, reivindicamos el espíritu motero de generosidad y solidaridad y volvemos a la carga con otra llamada a todos los moteros y a la sociedad en general para que acudan a donar a su centro de transfusión más próximo.

Este año, por cortesía de LUMA, a todo el que acuda a donar se le regalará un llavero-monedero motero personalizado con el logo de Moteros Donantes.

Day of Champions tickets to go on sale - 31-03-08

http://www.riders.org/doc/default.aspx

Riders is pleased to announce that tickets for Day of Champions 2008 will be going on sale on Monday 31^st March 2008 at 9am.

Our biggest annual fundraising event will take place on Thursday 19^th June, before the British MotoGP at Donington Park – and we wanted you to be among the first to know when tickets are going on sale.

This year we are giving you the chance to buy tickets 24 hours a day through the online shop on our re-launched website www.riders.org. Those that don’t want to buy online can call the Day of Champions ticket-line on 08702 242 960 from 9am on Monday 31^st March. The ticket-line will be open from 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday.

Prices for Day of Champions 2008 will be the same as 2007 – Tickets for the paddock and pit-lane are £25 and ride-in tickets are priced at £50 each. For full details of ticket prices for 2008, click here.

Once again, fans will be able to see behind the scenes of MotoGP as the teams give up their time and open up the paddock to lucky ticket holders. As always there will also be lots of events taking place on the infield and around the track.

Former British Superbike Champion, Niall Mackenzie, has confirmed that he will be leading the traditional ride-in to Donington Park. This year the ride-in meets at Mallory Park, before completing two laps of the track. Participants then head to the Victoria pub in Coalville, where they will enjoy breakfast before heading to Donington. It concludes with hundreds of bikers taking to the tarmac for two parade laps of the famous track.

As ever, the climax to the day will be the famous live auction, with appearances from the MotoGP riders. In 2007 a set of five paintings charting Valentino Rossi’s career raised £6,000 and a signed helmet belonging to world champion, Casey Stoner, sold for £2,000. This year British star, James Toseland, will make his first appearance at a Day of Champions auction as a MotoGP rider.

We will keep you up to date with all the latest news and information in the run up to Day of Champions, and you can also visit the Day of Champions website by clicking here.

Riders would like to thank everyone at Dorna and IRTA for making Day of Champions possible. We would also like to thank all the teams, riders, and everyone else in the paddock for giving up so much of their valuable time to help raise money for our work.

Heaven Can Wait charity bikers meet World Record holders.

The Heaven Can Wait charity motorbike riders recently met up with double World Record holders Kevin and Julia Sanders of GlobeBusters at a BMW open day in Hertford.

Kevin and Julia were on hand to talk about the recent experiences travelling from Alaska to Patagonia, one of the many tours they run for bikers from around the world and they were quick to offer advice to the riders, led by Derbyshire Ambulance Technician Kevin Gent.

“We are very much aware of this ride through our involvement with Sawbridgeworth BMW” said Kevin Sanders, seen mounted on the BMW. “We would love to take part, but unfortunately we have prior commitments, but we wish the group all the best and they have our full support.”

The group of more than 30 are planning to ride from Land’s End to John O’Groats in just one day in aid of Cancer Research UK and the Nottingham City Hospital.
“It was great to see the GlobeBusters in person, we’ve spoken on the phone and they have been providing some great advice for us” said Mr Gent. “Our ride is quite a challenge and we need all the advice we can get – it doesn’t come any better than from Kevin and Julia.”
The charity motorbike ride takes place on Saturday 26th July 2008. When complete, it will set a new record with the Iron Butt Association as the largest group of riders to complete the journey in 24 hours.

“We will soon be featured in the Motorcycle Sport and Leisure magazine” added John Devlin, sponsorship co-ordinator. “Their editor and photographer will both be joining us so this is a great time to get involved if you have a business to promote – we are more than happy to talk about a range of sponsorship opportunities.”
You can contact the team through their website www.HeavenCanWait.uk.com which has more information about the event and secure online donation facilities, or directly by email to info@HeavenCanWait.uk.com

Heaven Can Wait - Lands End to John O'Groats' in a day

http://www.heavencanwait.uk.com/

Kevin Gent from Derbyshire and a group of more than 30 friends are planning to take on the ‘challenge of the year’ by riding from Land’s End to John O’Groats – the entire length of the country – in just one day.
The ride is set to raise thousands for Cancer Research UK and the Nottingham City Hospital. Kevin, who works for the East Midlands Ambulance Service at King’s Mill Hospital, was diagnosed with thymic cancer in 2005. After a series
of scans and tests, Kevin underwent 19 weeks of chemotherapy and it soon took its toll. This was followed by a further 5 weeks of radiotherapy, placing
an enormous strain on his family. “It seemed to burn my very soul” said Kevin. “The cancer took away my right lung so that has stopped me running marathons, something I was very passionate about before my illness. After running, my next passion is motorcycling so I am really looking forward to this challenge - I think it will inspire me do even greater things.”
The ride takes place on Saturday 26th July 2008 and has been titled Heaven Can Wait. When complete, it will set a new record with the Iron Butt Association as the largest group of riders to complete the journey in 24 hours. Sponsorship co-ordinator, John Devlin, commented that the level of interest was growing daily. “We’re delighted by the reaction we’ve received so far, including one single donation of £1000 by Arval Fleet Management. Sawbridgeworth BMW dealership has also donated the use of two R1200GS Adventure motorbikes – this will form part of an auction evening which will raise further funds.” Collection goblets are being placed in several
Subway outlets, backed by posters advertising the website - www.HeavenCanWait.uk.com. Specialist communications company Autocom
have also stepped in to ensure that riders can keep in touch with the support vehicles on the journey by supplying their latest bike-to-bike systems and they too have offered further items for the auction. The group are still looking for more help and
inspiration though and would love to hear from potential sponsors or anyone who might be able to raise awareness or generate further donations. “I suspect there are many people reading this who have some great ideas they would love to share”
added John. “We can’t take many more people with us due to the logistics of refuelling, break stops and accommodation issues, but we are still open to
suggestion, especially if someone feels they can generate a substantial level of donation themselves!” Visitors to the website can sign up for free to receive a newsletter which will also put them into a draw to win a great prize. You can contact the team through their website www.HeavenCanWait.uk.com which has more
information about the event, updated news items and a blog feature, as well as secure online donation facilities, or directly by email to info@HeavenCanWait.uk.com

Honest, I'm doing it for charity!

Now you know you've been thinking about that special motorcycle trip of a lifetime for years and you're not getting any younger.  There have been times when you've planned it in your head but then placed the arguments of your husband, wife, partner, lover, etc., against it without actually discussing it with them for fear of failure. 

Well think no more and start to act!  Here I've listed some great adventure rides which not only give you the excitement of the ride but also the benefit of knowing that you are doing something for other people who need your help.  It also gives you a great reason to put to your husband, wife, partner, lover, etc., as if you need one in your relationship .
