Trevitt auction exceeds estimates
Over $53,000 raised for injured motojournalist
By Motorcycle.Com Staff, Mar. 13, 2009
The March 6 auction featured approximately 75 items including riding gear, artwork and literature. A flurry of bidding activity in the final 30 minutes of the auction helped the final tally exceed the auctioneer’s original estimates.
A separate online auction on eBay raised $23,000 during Bike Week. The online auction continues through March and April at http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant/trevitt-benefit.
Merchandise for both auctions were donated from the media, small businesses and private parties as well as several motorcycle OEMs including Buell, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha.
All funds raised in the auction will go to Trevitt to help cover his medical expenses, rehabilitation and ongoing support. A senior editor for Sport Rider magazine, Trevitt suffered serious injuries after being hit by a car while testing tires in November, 2008.
