Vermeulen Supports Biker Charity

Rizla Suzuki MotoGP rider Chris Vermeulen has given his support to the French charity Motards Solidarite in the lead up to this weekend's French MotoGP at Le Mans.

The association, which was created in 1995 and now has almost 500 members, helps handicapped bikers to pass or renew their motorcycle driving licence after a disease or an accident, by supplying transformed motorcycle or sidecars specially equipped with foot throttle, hand gearbox, thumb brake or whatever the rider requires to get back in the saddle.

Said Vermeulen:

"I'm glad to bring my support to this association which helps bikers to keep a link with their passion after a drama, but also shows to other people handicapped or not, life doesn't stop after a disease or an accident. It's the first time I've seen this kind of association. I met the president of the and also a member who just received his GSX-R1000 equipped with a sidecar. It was amazing!
