Bikers, Kick Start Your Engines

If you had fun at the BASH, maybe it’s time you checked out another great fundraiser and entertaining event at the Greater Buffalo Chapter of the American Red Cross. If you’re into motorcycles, then this is the event for you. Rev Up With The Red Cross is on June 29th and the event is sponsored by South Side Kustoms. Its main features are a motorcycle run and raffle.

The American Legion Riders is one of the larger groups already slated to take part in the run. Other participants can register for the event by calling 878-2373 or by signing up at the Red Cross starting at 11 AM on June 29th. The cost of the ride is $20 for a single rider and $25 per couple. The proceeds go directly to the Red Cross and the run kicks off from the Red Cross headquarters at 786 Delaware Avenue at 1 PM.

From there, the motorcyclists will ride to the American Legion Post in East Aurora and end at the Buckin’ Buffalo at 294 Franklin Street. The after party will be held at the bar starting at 3 PM. If you don’t take part in the ride, the cover for the after party is $10 and it’s during the after party that the military vintage-themed custom motorcycle will be raffled. It was built by South Side Kustoms and painted by AIR FX Airbrushing. Tickets are $10 each or three for $25. You can purchase tickets early by calling the Red Cross at 878-2373 or stopping by their headquarters during regular business hours.

AIR FX Airbrushing did a fantastic job painting the hog and you can view more pictures on their MySpace. You can view specs on the bike as well as get more information about the ride here. The after party includes the raffling of the motorcycle, but also free food, live music, and free giveaways, so even if you don’t want the opportunity to win the motorcycle, you can still come out and whoop it up with a bunch of bikers in support of the Red Cross.
