Jim from PSB has really taken the ball and run with it on this and has gone out of his way with a level of enthusiasm that is scary! The following has been copied directly from PSB.
All PSB members and friends. We're all aware of the devastating news recently regarding the fires in the Perth hills and those poor people that have lost their homes. I'm in the process of organising a charity bike ride to collect funds to help those involved. Meeting place will be Bunnings on Ranford Road, Saturday 25th January 2014, 07:00am heading to Scarborough for a coffee stop, returning to a venue (to be decided) for a sausage sizzle finishing up with a raffle. Im in the process of now of approaching establishments who will contribute to the cause (raffles & snags) and assist us raise some serious funding for those people who have lost everything.
I've done this before with white and pink ribbon rides in Queensland so all ready to run this one.
I suggest the following.
1. Entry fee $10 (to be paid on the morning of the ride)
2. Raffles $1 per ticket...... will be some great bargains to be had here
3. Sausage sizzle provided free by the publican or we donate $1 per snagger. (patrons may chose to buy bar food if preferred).
I will contact local newspapers in order to raise more funding and Police to advise route to be taken so we have the all clear.
Come on people. Bikers over the last few months have had a bad rap. Lets show Joe Public what we are capable of.
your support on this issue will be recognised and greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
JayPee

Hi Everyone, Just a quick update to let everyone know what's the latest and greatest on this fantastic upcoming event.
We had our very first meeting tonight which went extremely well. Attendees were Short Steve, Ladyhawk, Graelin, Live-to-Ride Optimal and J.P. Some great ideas kicked around which means there are a few minor changes made to the original post....... but all positive...... Thanks guy's, could never have managed this without your help and ideas.
Anyway's (Plan is as follows
Date: Remains unchanged. Still Saturday 25th January 2014
Meeting Location: Masters Car Park, Ranford Road (Armadale side) Keep to the side of the Masters car park that's close to Bunnings next door as both are donating to the cause.
Meeting Time: 08:00am
Departing: 09:15am (we are trying to organise a "CoffeeX" van to attend to make sure we all get our morning fix.
We will be leaving Masters car park at the designated time (ish) and heading straight to the Mt Helena Tavern which will see us arriving circa lunchtime. There will be a leader, Tailman and corner markers to make sure no one gets lost and everyone arrives there safely to enjoy a great day.
The entry fee will now include a raffle ticket. Due to the very high quality of raffle donations we have received and given the cause we decided to make the raffles $5 each..... when you see the quality of the prizes you will understand why
There will be volunteers on the day (at Masters and at Mt Helena Tavern) to collect entry fees, sell raffle tickets etc all will be wearing Hi-Viz vests so easy to identify
We are currently running up a new flyer with the new info on it so we should be able to post it by Friday. Anyone who wants to donate raffle prizes can give me a call/PM etc and I will arrange collection or if you want just hand them in on the morning of the meet. The new flyers also means you can approach businesses for support in raffle prizes, cash or a direct donation to the disaster relief fund.
Note: There "will" be ground support on the day in the form of Short Steve taking up the rear ........ and I mean that in the best possible taste ......... sorry Steve, couldn't help that one ..... Steve will be driving his ute complete with trailer, some tools, puncture kits etc (Thanks for that Steve)
P.S. Contact me direct for any queries, Ideas or questions on (0409493440) 24/7 or on this website.(www.perthstreetbikes.com)

So far he has got alot of support from local business with Masters donating wheelbarrows and shovels, Suzuki donating T-Shirts and other merch. There has also been a $1500 diamond donated by a local jeweler. So even if you don't ride come down have a wander buy a raffle ticket and help a good cause.
