Charity Support

Sorrymate are Proud Supporters of Yorkshire Air Ambulance

2023 saw Sorrymate raising over £15,000 with the raffle of a signed racing bike for Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

RTC motorcycle accidents are one of the most common that the Air Ambulance Service respond to. The Air Ambulance charities do not have any support from the Government and rely solely on the generosity of the public and organisations to keep the service active. We are proud to support both the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Essex & Herts Air Ambulance and North West Air Ambulance.

Why do we do this?

Sorrymate and the 1964 Marshals associations are proud supports of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Both organisations raise money all year round for the charity however we wanted to raise more. So, the idea came about to build a Yorkshire Air Ambulance race bike which would be raffled off to raise vital funds. All proceeds went to Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Rob Scott, Regional fundraiser for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance said: “A massive thank you everyone at Sorrymate.com for the continued support of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. I would also like to say a very special thank you to Phil and Kev. It has been a pleasure working alongside you both at all the shows and events. What a journey it has been. A fantastic amount raised which will help save many lives.”

We helped Yorkshire Air Ambulance to fundraise and maybe you could help too?

Despite the engine being in good mechanical order, it was stripped and fully rebuilt to race specifications.

Frame Work

The frames needed only cosmetic work and was powder coated.

Donations

We made a call for donations for parts and help and the response was overwhelming.

Rebuild

The complex matter of putting everything back, incorporating the new parts began.

Paint Work

A perfect match to Yorkshire Air Ambulance colours was applied and the create concept.

Graphics

Application of the graphics completed the effect, though we’re not finished there.

We invited BSB riders & biking celebs to autograph the bike before we applied a final clear coat of lacquer.
