Arai to host NEC Charity auction

Starting at 12.00pm on the NEC Show main stage in the Arai Entertainment Zone (Hall 2) on Saturday December 5, the auction will consist of ten quality items that will go under the hammer to raise money for Riders for Health.

• Save £££s on motorcycle helmets

Items currently confirmed include an RX-7 GP Colin Edwards replica helmet, signed by the Yamaha MotoGP rider, and many pieces of racing memorabilia and money-can’t-buy objects, including the stunning one-off helmet worn in this year’s Superbike and Senior TT races by Gary Johnson.

Painted by leading helmet painters, Rich- Art Concepts, the unique RX-7 GP was designed to celebrate two special Arai landmarks in 2009; 25 years of fiercely supporting the Isle of Man TT and 25 years of Arai being officially imported into the UK.

These two anniversaries are represented on the range-topping helmet with the bold red of the Isle of Man Triskelion flag painted on one side and on the other, the red, white and blue of the Union Flag.

As well as the first chance to see the 2010 range in the UK (stand 2F35, Hall 2), Arai are offering its customers free helmet servicing at the show (stand 2G50 Hall 2).
