Colin Edwards is one of the most fiercest competitors out on the racetrack, which was evidenced by his determined passes in various battles with James Toseland and Loris Capirossi at the historic Le Mans circuit, but despite his racing the American has continued a generous tradition of helping Yamaha Motor Corporation’s official charity.

A Yamaha eBay auction that will run until May 28th will see the Texas Tornado putting up a full set of racewear as a prize. Leathers, a helmet, boots and gloves will be on offer in a complete package, the winning bidder will also receive a pair of tickets and not to mention a hotel room for the duration of the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix event which is held on July 3rd-5th.

Colin Edwards will personally hand over the race gear in a Saturday ceremony at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, note all funds raised will go to Feed the Children charity.

“This is a great opportunity for a true race fan to get an actual set of riding gear from one of America’s favorite MotoGP stars” said Bob Starr who is Yamaha’s General Manager of National Communications, “and one of the best parts of this opportunity is the fact that the monies go to such a worthy cause.”
