Motorcyclists and enthusiasts from around Australia and the globe have dug deep to help out the victims of the Victorian Bushfire tragedy, raising $25,000 in the Suzuki Victorian Bushfire Charity Auction.

 

The net proceeds from the Victorian Bushfire Auction that featured a extensive range of motorcycle memorabilia and exclusive experiences, will be donated to the Australian Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal.

 

With in excess of over 230 bids, the auction concluded on Sunday night, with successful bidders coming from across the globe Australia, Japan, United States of America, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

 

"We're proud to have raised $25,000 for this incredibly worthwhile cause," Perry Morison, General Manager Motorcycles, Suzuki Australia, said.

"It's a credit to the hard work and generosity of our entire Suzuki family, and the support we've received from the local and international motorcycling communities.

"To see so many overseas bidders getting behind the appeal was particularly satisfying.

"We'll now work with the successful bidders and the Australian Red Cross to organise the delivery of items and our final donation."

 

The item that everybody wanted was a signed pair of pre-season testing leathers from Suzuki's Australian MotoGP ace Chris Vermeulen, which went for $3,550 after 30 bids.

A 'Mechanic for the Day experience with Team Rizla Suzuki MotoGP attracted the most bids, 37, with the winner paying $3,050 to join the team for a day at either any European or Australian Grand Prix this year.

 

There was also considerable interest shown in a VIP package for two people to enjoy a Grand Prix in style, with a weekend corporate package selling for $3,300.

A great event for a worth cause.
