The ride on Saturday was from Hastings to Central Hawke鈥檚 Bay through State Highway 50 to Waipukurau and Patangata and was co-ordinated by the Hawke鈥檚 Bay Harley Davidson and Bay City motorcycle clubs, with an estimated 150 machines on the run.

Bay City rider Dylan Turnbull said participants made donations of at least $10 per bike to take part, each able to add another badge to the jacket afterwards.

The funds will support the Hawke鈥檚 Bay Foundation cyclone relief project.
