Sold in aid of 24 in 24 Prostate charity, A signed Arai Tour X-5 helmet

Footnotes

The helmet offered here was kindly donated by Arai to the charity 24 in 24 who are raising funds for prostate cancer UK in honour of their friend Alan who sadly passed away from prostate cancer. 4 Air Traffic Controller Friends decided to ride over 3,500 miles around 24 sites where NATS provide Air Traffic Control services around the UK and Gibraltar. The goal was to raise awareness, get men to get tested by giving blood for a PSA test (Prostate Specific Antigen) as Prostate Cancer affects 1in 8 men. A by-product of raising awareness was raising money for research and they have so far raised over £70k. It took over 18 months planning with weekly teams meeting for the last 13 months. They were able to get Triumph UK on board through Lee Morrison (007 Stunt Coordinator and Triumph Brand ambassador) who provided them with 4 Press motorcycles for the 3 week challenge.

They started at Aberdeen Airport, and rode the motorcycles on 7 Runways (some live) and had an MOD escort in Gibraltar to the top of Rock Gun ( Start sequence for Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights). The helmet is signed by Lee Morrison (stunt coordinator and stunt double for Daniel Craig whilst also working on all 5 James Bond film with Daniel Craig); Sammy Miller; Kenny Roberts Jnr; Freddie Spencer; Peter Hickman; James Hillier; John McGuiness; James Whitman; Phillip McCallen; Wayne Gardner; Maria Costello; Dom Hertbertson; Mat Armstrong; Ryan Vickers; Kyle Ryde; Luke Stapleford; Ray Marchant; Ricky Elder; Paul Beamish; Charlie Boorman; Steve Parish; Henry Cole; Skid; Alan Millyard; Brandon Robinson; Luis Perez-Sala; Oliver Bearman and 11th Duke of Richmond - Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox.
