Bikes and bikers descend on Stourbridge for charity event
Thousands of bikers turned out to an event to help raise funds for two charities.
The Big Red Machine (Hells Angels) teamed up with the Stourbridge Motorcycle Club to host the charity event at the River Rooms in Stourbridge on Saturday.
The event included live music plus a custom bike and car show competition. More than 2,000 bikes entered the show on Saturday.
Funds raised on the day will be donated to the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity and the Chris Westwood Charity for Disabled Children.
One of the organisers, James Hill, from Stourbridge Motorcycle Club, said: "The Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is government funded and relies on donations – it is a good cause and if motorbikers have a crash into a field the air ambulance can access them easier than a standard ambulance. While we also wanted to give something to help families who have children with disabilities.
"We had the custom bike and car show. We had around 2,000 bikes park up to take part, and around seven cars join in.
"We also had three live bands performing during the day. We are hoping to have raised quite a bit of funds for the two charities."
