    KILTS ACROSS AMERICA
    TWO MEN, TWO BIKES, TWO KILTS

    Time:
    Starts 2:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M.

    Details:
    Two intrepid Scots will mount up outside of St. Andrews Restaurant New York 120 West 44th Street in New York City(See map) and set out across America.
    The fearless bikers will leave St. Andrew’s pub to the sound of pipes and the roar of hundreds of motorcycles as they head across the river and into the wilderness. There will be a silent auction from 2 to 4:00 P.M. on Saturday to send the boys off in style.

    You can follow their journey and join them anywhere along their trip by going to
    www.kiltsacrossamerica.co.uk

    Colin and Iain will be starting their Harley engines at St. Andrew’s Restaurant at 4:00 P.M.
    Then they are off Leesburg, VA to pick up family, an R.V. snake bite kit and weather radio.

    Why would anyone in their right mind decide to embark on a journey across the U. S. in kilts and on motorcycles to boot, and in the middle of summer? Why, because one of those men, Colin Read, is the father of a child with the very rare Moebius Syndrome.

    “Two guys in kilts on motorcycles will be quite a sight, especially if the wind blows,” smiles Colin Read.

    So get ready America! Here come the Scots in their leather kilts doing what no Scot has ever done before.

    We want to raise a minimum of $400,000 dollars, which works out to be about $150.00 per mile. If we can get people to RIDE FOR A SMILE on this once in a life time adventure and donate dollars for miles I know we can raise the money that will help ultimately to lead to the cause of Moebius Syndrome ” Says Iain Whyte.
