Vintage Torque Fest HELMET Auction Doug DORR

ok - so you all may or may not know that the Dorr family is going through a hard time right now.

Doug is a truly talented individual and a pretty cool guy to talk to if you ever get to meet him at a show. His brother Chad- also a talented artist - was given a very limited time.....

So this auction will go to benefit the Dorr Family with the expenses that are going to be coming up.

THIS WEEK WE WILL AUCTION OFF Doug Dorr's helmet TO HELP WITH HIS FAMILY.


In the future the auctions will benefit www.helpinghannahsheart.org


Not sure the HAMB knows what we put together for the Vintage Torque Fest. Jimmy Flintstone contributed helmets to the art show and these were sent out to the artists that agreed to help out back in October. The artists were asked to contribute whatever concept they wanted to the helmets. Almost all of the artists have agreed to contribute the proceeds from the auction to www.helpinghannahsheart.org

This is a medical expense trust set up to help pay the many medical expenses that have ac***ulated over the past 3.5 years.

For those that dont know, our baby has had different procedures throughout her 3 year life including open heart surgery. She will have to have more open heart surgery again in about 5 years. The doctors have to be paid in order to keep on doing more surgery.

I will get more details as people want to know them.
Visit www.helpinghannahsheart.org for details on what she has gone through.

These helmets are a direct cast off an original German M40 WWII helmet and will fit with the proper lining installed. These helmets are NOT DOT approved so dont think you can wear this out on the street with your motorcycle.

I hope you all will bid these things up.
These helmets cost $40 with nothing on them - just the normal resin.

Add the cost of the time and energy and paint that was contributed by each artist and you see that the helmets SHOULD go for over $100.

The helmets that were auctioned off at the show went for about $150 - $200. But we did not have enough time to auction off ALL the helmets....so Ryan has agreed to auction them here on the HAMB and he has been very gracious in stating that 100% of the proceeds will go directly to www.helpinghannahsheart.org
