CatWalk have been given an amazing opportunity to import and promote a Martin Conquest motorcycle from the UK. The Conquest is a 3 wheeler, high performance motorcycle that gives wheelchair users the ultimate freedom of riding directly from their wheelchairs!!
The team at CatWalk are very excited about this as the Conquest will be the first of its type in New Zealand, and as well as promoting this fabulous motorcycle, we are confident that through our CatWalk's Conquest Tour ~ "Conquering Freedom" promotion, we can raise a lot of money towards SCI research and getting people out of wheelchairs and back on their feet, out ultimate goal!
CatWalk's Conquest Tour will kick off from Auckland on 29 October and travel down the country, heading all the way to Invercargill before finishing in Christchurch on 13 November where the auctioning of the Conquest bike will be one of the highlights at our Up & Away Charity Dinner & Auction at Wigram's Air Force Museum.
We have 17 individual riders confirmed to ride the Conquest for the different sections of the tour. All are very excited to be given the opportunity to get back on a motorbike and feel the wind in their hair.
We are keen to have other bike enthusiasts join us on the road and ride alongside the Conquest. We want to raise as much noise as possible when going through each area, so any bikers out there, dust off your leathers, and come along for the ride. Kim has the itinerary available to let you know dates and areas we will be visiting.
Remember this remarkable motorcycle will be auctioned at the end of this promotion, so start sorting out your finances, or get your friends and family to start fundraising NOW because someone will take this motorcycle home at the end of the night on the 13 November!!!
