By the end of the trip, I had talked to some of the riders and we decided that we would auction off some of their bikes to help out the Murray family with their mounting medical bills. We even had a few guys who weren’t on the trip who wanted to lend a hand and donate their bikes. I am happy to tell you that we have a total of 11 complete bikes to auction off. All of these bikes are autographed by the rider who is donating it (except for the DC/SE P.K. Ripper). Each bike will also come with a autographed photo of the rider with the bike.
Below are the dates that each bike will be auctioned off (each one will become a hotlink when auction is running - so check back often). Nov. 1-10 - Mat Hoffman’s Hoffman Bikes Condor
Nov. 3-12 - Chase Hawk’s Fit Hawk
Nov. 5-14 - Mike Aitken’s Fit S3 Aitken
Nov. 7-16 - Rob Wise’s Mirraco Fivestar
Nov. 9-18 - Morgan Wade’s Mutiny Captain
Nov. 11-20 - Corey Martinez’s United Trinity
Nov. 13-22 - Etnies “Ghost Rider” bike
Nov. 15-24 - Ruben Alcantara’s T1 Ruben
Nov. 17-26 - Sergio Layos’ Fly Pantera
Nov. 19-28 - Nora Cup D.C./SE P.K. Ripper
Nov. 21-30 - Tim “Fuzzy” Hall’s Redline

We’ll also be auctioning off a Levis banner, T-shirt, and piece of metal, all signed by the Rock-N-Roll 2 riders. Brian Kachinsky and Aaron Ross left their helmets, and these will be up for auction. Finally, some Hoffman DVDs signed by Mat himself. We would like to personally thank all of these riders and their sponsors for being involved in this cause.
Stay strong Stephen Murray.
