eBay Auction Now Open for Roger Lee Hayden's Moto2 Leathers to Benefit PBTF Ride for Kids®

Win Roger Lee Hayden's Moto2 leathers and help the kidsThe Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation® (PBTF) Ride for Kids® is pleased to announce an eBay auction of Roger Lee Hayden’s signed leathers from the Moto2 race at the Red Bull Indianapolis GP on Aug. 29, 2010.

The race was a one-off effort by American Honda to showcase the Moriwaki MD600 and to raise awareness about childhood brain tumors and funds for the PBTF. The Honda Riders Club of America has been the presenting sponsor of the PBTF’s Ride for Kids® program since 1991.

In Moto2 action at Indy, two separate crashes on the opening lap of the race brought out the red flag. Roger Lee Hayden was taken down in the pileup, and while he was shaken up his Moriwaki Honda MD600 sustained significant damage.

“I got a good start but then somebody’s rear wheel locked up and they ran into the back of me. I guess I’m lucky to be okay,� Hayden later explained. “I’m just glad we got to go out there and finish the race.�

Alpinestars donated Hayden’s top-level custom suit, which was handmade from design to production at their headquarters in Asolo, Italy. Their seamstresses worked around the clock to create the leathers in a very short period of time.
