From a press release issued by HM Plant Ducati:

Get the kit!

HM Plant Ducati’s official website, hmplantducati.com is offering visitors the chance to own a piece of SBK history.

Neil Hodgson and James Toseland have each donated a set of their own custom-made Axo Sport race leathers, boots and gloves. Included in the list are the riders’ two Suomy Gunwind helmets. These items, which have been seen in action by millions during the 2002 Superbike World Championship, will go to the successful bidders in an exclusive charity auction currently taking place on the team website.

All proceeds from the sale of this priceless collection of HM Plant Ducati memorabilia will be donated to the Bishop Auckland Children’s Hospice, registered charity number 1044816. This is the official charity of GSE Racing’s title sponsor HM Plant, so not only will the highest bidders be getting their hands on some historic kit, they will also be donating much-needed funds to an extremely worthy cause.

Riding like Neil and James may only be a dream, but looking like them could easily become a reality. These items are not replicas and cannot be purchased anywhere other than at hmplantducati.com.

Bidding is underway now and will continue until midnight on 5 November.
