All the items featured at the Celeritas show, including the 2009 Suzuki Hayabusa, are painted by famous motorcycling artists like Troy Lee, Jow Hahn or Jesse James.
This show was put together by motorcyclist/actor John Hensley, known primarily for his role on the FX Channel’s Nip/Tuck, and the Linkin Park band member Joe Hahn, owner of the SURU Gallery. Sponsoring the event are Pirelli Tire North America, American Suzuki Motors, Oakley, Troy Lee, and Alpinestars.
Scott Griffin, VP of Pirelli Motorcycle Tire North America, said, “This sponsorship is a natural fit for Pirelli, a company defined by passion. We have a proud and long history of working with artists, actors, and photographers to create Pirelli’s world-famous calendars, videos and other works art. Applying this passion for the benefit of Riders for Health doubles the importance of this creative exhibit and we applaud John and Joe for this incredible accomplishment.”
