2013 LeMinz Scooterthon - this Friday!

The 24 Hour 50cc scooter charity event raises money for Racesafe Medical Team and Give Me 5 for Kids. Some of the best riders in the world have signed on, including 3 x World Superbike Champion Troy Bayliss, 3 x World Speedway Champion Jason Crump, current Moto 2 Racer Anthony West and motocross legend Stephen Gall, as well as Carrera Cup racer Michael Patrizi, AFL legend Spida Everett and many more current elite motorcycle racers and special guests.

A record 45 scooters and 180 riders will line up for the 11:00AM start. When the green flag drops the teams will race for 24 hours until the chequered flag drops at 11:00AM Saturday.

Spectators are more than welcome, with entry by gold coin donation at the gate. There is a jumping castle for the kids and all the guest riders will be happy to sign autographs.

Troy Bayliss, who recently announced 'Moto Expo' (Motorcycle Exhibition), 21-23 March 2014 Brisbane RNA Showgrounds, said "The Scooterthon is a fun little event, it raises funds for Racesafe Medical Team who provide a great service at motorcycle race events.

"I think I will be doing the first few hours on Friday, before handing over to Crumpy and the other boys on my team. In total, we will do about 6 hours each on the scooter within the 24 hours," Bayliss added.

Troy Bayliss will team up with Jason Crump and Custom Graphix guru, Mark "Brownie" Brown.
