Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just giving page. 


This event is being hosted by myself and my wife Claire at The Cadwell Park August Bank Holiday weekend BSB meeting. 

We are putting on a display of Crowtree racing  leathers and working alongside The Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance team as we hope to raise some money for them. 


Crowtree leathers are widely regarded as the best leathers ever made by literally hundreds of motorcycle racers and road riders who have trusted them to protect them in the event of let's say an unscheduled separation from their machinery.... 

When Alec sadly passed away the company closed and the motorcycle world lost a once in a life time company, these kinds of people are rare and sadly missed. But his life's work will certainly not be forgotten, the story of Crowtree is something many people still talk of, many still use their leathers that genuinely stand the test of time due to the incredible workmanship and quality that made them so famous. 


Many of our top stars racing in British and World championships started their careers using Crowtree leathers. And the display we are putting on contains some of their sets from back in their early careers . We have leathers from British champions, Isle of Man TT winners, Northwest 200 winners, Club racing championships winners and many many club racer and road riders who all became part of this special Crowtree family. 


We understand life has been tough for many of us over the last couple of years and we hope this event will bring folk together and amazing and hysterical stories will be shared by like minded people over the weekend. No doubt many will talk about Alec and Linda the creators of Crowtree leathers and keeping what they achieved in people's minds is in itself a fantastic tribute to what they created. 

Hopefully by putting on a great display with leathers from many decades people can remember good times and great race meetings and from this we can then ask people to donate to the charity and between us raise much needed funds for the Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance. 

Thank you for your time reading our story.
