Mark Wotherspoon collecting his Harley-Davidson Fat Bob
Ride Sunday 2018 raised over £150,000 for charity and also offered new bikes as prizes for the top fundraisers globally.
Mark Wotherspoon from Australia was the biggest fundraiser, raising over £15,000 personally for White Ribbon, and was rewarded with a brand new Harley-Davidson which he collected on Wednesday, July 4.
He chose a Harley-Davidson Fat Bob, the latest retro-inspired member of Harley's 'Softail' family, complete with a Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine and a 2-into-1 exhaust.
The second-placed fundraiser, who chose to remain anonymous, raised over £12,000, earning themselves a brand new Triumph while third placed Sean Mooney raised over £9000 and bagged themselves a Royal Enfield.
