Bike to Tour with Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows® to Raise Awareness and Funds Newport Beach, Calif., – Start with a 2007 Honda CBR1000RR, add the customizing talents of the Roland Sands Design crew and you get a one-of-a-kind sportbike the ConqueRR. But what makes this motorcycle truly special is the reason for its creation to benefit the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and its Ride for Kids® program. The ConqueRR’s mission is to support the Ride for Kids® motorcycle charity events in their fundraising efforts for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, which seeks to find the cause of and the cure for childhood brain tumors. This is accomplished through participating in a drawing at one of the 13 Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows to win this unique machine as well as by raising awareness of the 37 Ride for Kids® events that take place across the United States each year. “The RSD ConqueRR project is exciting to all of us,” said National Ride for Kids® Director Kyle Clack. “To combine Roland’s vision, a Honda CBR1000RR and the focused mission of Ride for Kids® is an amazing way to positively affect the lives of these brave young children and their families. Our combined love of motorcycling translates directly into hope for a better future.” Designed to reflect the fighting spirit that is so much a part of the small heroes who face these devastating brain tumors, the ConqueRR is the result of a collaboration of companies from across the motorcycling world. Starting with a machine that is already on the cutting edge of sportbike technology and style made the customizing task a tough one. Sands and his group concentrated on cleaning many of the bike’s lines taking a very detailed package to the next level. “It’s my honor to donate my skills as a motorcycle designer and builder to Ride for Kids,” said Roland Sands. “I hope to inspire my fellow motorcycle enthusiasts to buy a ticket not only to win this bike, but to support these amazing kids.” Built by Roland Sands Design, the bike features prototype RSD “Assault” Gold Anodized Ultra-Light Weight Wheels, RSD “Combat” crash sliders, RSD “Combat” triple trees, RSD “Combat” reservoir covers, RSD “Combat” mirror clean-up kit, and one off grips. The custom paint job is courtesy of Chris Wood at Airtrix, who has painted most of RSD’s custom motorcycle fleet. Performance-minded upgrades are included throughout the bike in the form of Performance Machine radial mount brake calipers, Erion Racing headwork, cam and custom exhaust, Speigler brake lines, Dunlop Tires, DID chain, and a HotBodies Racing undertail section and windscreen. “The ConqueRR is the latest example of the generosity and caring spirit of the motorcycle industry,” said Cycle World Magazine Marketing Director Corey Eastman. “For all of us that have had the honor to work on this and other Ride for Kids projects, it is gratifying to see our passion for motorcycling benefit the kids and families facing this battle for life.” The ConqueRR will be displayed as part of the Cycle World booth at each of the 13 Cycle World International Motorcycle Show stops. Ride for Kids® representatives will be on site at each event encouraging participation in the motorcycle drawing and educating attendees about upcoming Ride for Kids® events.

For the 15th consecutive year, Cycle World, the world’s most popular motorcycle magazine, is the title sponsor for the series and leading manufacturer Toyota will return for the 10th year as presenting sponsor. The Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows® presented by Toyota is the world’s largest powersports show series.

The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation’s Ride for Kids® program, started in 1984, has raised more than $37 million to find the cause of and cure for childhood brain tumors. Thanks to the generous support of the motorcycling community, the PBTF has become the world’s largest non-governmental source of funding for childhood brain tumor research.
