Celebrities cruise east coast for motorcycle charity ride
Fashion motorcycles and fundraising mixed as famous faces took their bikes to ride from Boston to New York to raise money to benefit AIDS research.
The celebrity bikers raised money for the AIDS charity amFAR during and event called LifeRide.
Famous motorcycle passions on display came from Actor Jason Lee (My Name Is Earl), Tyson Beckford (Biker Boyz), Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica), Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Saved by the Bell, Franklin & Bash), Marguerite Moreau (HBO’s Shameless) and Teddy Sears (Tom Ford’s A Single Man).
While the ride brought together a group of bikers to raise money for a well-deserving organization, this wasn’t your average charity ride.
The annual event, hosted by Kiehl's skin care, is seven-day celebrity motorcycle journey riding throughout the Northeast from July 31 through August 6. Instead of a bar or open field with live music and barbeque, the most recent stop for the LifeRide event included the trendy Kiehl’s boutique on Newbury Street.
Reportedly, riders chowed down on bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches and white trash fruit salad. The food was prepared by a celebrity chef Tiffani Faison seen on the popular food show ‘Top Chef’ who was partially promoting her soon-to-open Fenway restaurant.

Last year’s ride took place on the West Coast in Califronia and included celebrity riders such as Alain de Cadenet, Tricia Helfer, Katee Sackhoff, Teddy Sears, Paul Cox, Jared Zaugg, Josh Manning, William H. Macy, Fred Durst, Peter Coyote, and Tim Kang, and supporters such as Peter Fonda, Timothy White, Josh Homme, Cheyenne Jackson, Kristin Cavallari and Plain White T's.

But the die-hard biker spirit shined through the unusually nicer setting with Jason Lee bringing his vintage enthusiasm to the event and a host of stars known for their motorcycle-bound charity work such as the sexy Tricia Helfer.
Former ‘Saved by the Bell’ star’ Mark-Paul Gosselaar told fellow riders and reporters how his two children are already would-be bikers.
"My son was riding by the time he was five," said Gosselaar, "I have pictures of me with him in a BabyBjorn, and I'm on my motorcycle, and that's the way that he would go to sleep. I'd ride around on my property at five miles an hour, but it was the noise and the wind that would put him to sleep."
