The thrilling display at the Evolution of the Motorcycle event drew a large cheque for the Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter.
The motorcycle event in April raised funds for local Hawke's Bay charities and Hawke's Bay Motorcycle Club president Tony Wass has handed over $5000 to rescue helicopter pilot Jeremy Bruce.
The Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter crew met some members of the Hawke's Bay Motorcycle Club at the rescue hangar in Hastings for the celebration.
Mr Bruce said they were delighted to be one of the recipient charities of this "fantastic" event.
"Our thanks go to all at the Hawke's Bay Classic Motorcycle Club, and we are glad that we were able to be there when some of your members needed us," Mr Bruce said.
