LEATHERHEAD, U.K. - Sept. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- GetGeared and Alpinestars mark the 10-year milestone with a race suit exhibition

GetGeared.co.uk, the online retailer for motorcycle clothing and accessories, celebrates 10 years of service in 2014. Alpinestars, the long-term brand partner of GetGeared (http://www.getgeared.co.uk), commemorates the event with an exhibition of leather race suits, worn by motorcycle racing champions and legends over the past 10 years.

Meet Noriyki Haga, Casey Stoner and Ben Spies

On September the 27^th GetGeared will be celebrating 10 years of great service to motorcyclists in the United Kingdom, by hosting an event in their Leeds store in collaboration with Alpinestars (http://www.alpinestars.com).

Alpinestars have transported priceless leather racing suits to Leeds from their research & development center in Asolo, Italy.  While you will not be able to meet Casey Stoner in person, you will be able to examine his leather suits. The exhibition includes leather 1-piece race suits worn by the likes of Noriyki Haga, Casey Stoner, Ben Spies and John McGuiness during decisive MotoGP and TT races. Each suit is custom made in Asolo, Italy. The exhibition suits demonstrate the unparalleled expertise the Alpinestars brand represents when protecting motorcyclists on and off the racetrack, worldwide.

Georg Braun (+GeorgBraunUK) commented: "There are very few of these iconic leather race suits and even fewer that were worn by household names like Casey Stoner. We are very fortunate to be able to show off to our customers a broad range of race suits this coming weekend. Each one has a story of asphalt, skill and determination."

Supporting motorcycle blood runners back home

On the day, GetGeared and Whiteknights Emergency Volunteers announce GetGeared’s support for the Whiteknights Emergency Volunteer charity. Whiteknights are dedicated to transporting blood, blood samples and urgent medication across Yorkshire, 24/7 and at a moment’s notice, in order to help the Yorkshire NHS trusts save lives.

Georg Braun (+GeorgBraunUK) added: "Whiteknights Emergency Volunteers do an amazing job, selfless, free of charge and absolutely essential. I am proud GetGeared was able to initiate a relationship with this charity and ultimately that the GetGeared Team and its customers can play a small role in keeping the service Whiteknights provide operational every day of the year."

There will be hot food and drinks avalible to purchase. Customers will be able to enter a competition to win up to a £1000.00 worth of vouchers to spend on Alpinestars clothing. Highly attractive offers on Alpinestars clothing will be made available in store and online.
