DPH Peter Stevens Yamaha press release:

As Australia gets ready to honour the Centenary of the Gallipoli landings this weekend, DPH Peter Stevens Yamaha will also be paying their respects to the ANZAC tradition.

Working closely with the Returned & Services Leagues of Australia, the DPH Yamaha YZ450F machines will feature a special, one-off livery at Round 3 of the MX Nationals in Broadford.

The two bikes that will be piloted by Lawson Bopping and Cheyne Boyd will feature newly designed graphics, with the RSL’s ‘ANZAC Appeal’ rising sun logo as the centrepiece. The commemorative design, produced by The Collective Family, will also feature a silhouette of ANZAC Diggers.

In addition to the livery changes, both Riders will wear a one-off Race Gear and Helmets throughout the round. The unique helmets that will be wrapped by the team at Magneto Industries, will honour the ANZAC spirit, with the touching words of “Lest we forget” prominently displayed within the camouflaged design.

After the completion of the round, the Race Gear and Helmets will be put up for auction, with all proceeds to be donated to the RSL, to assist in providing services and assistance to the Australian Defence Force’s men and women, who have served this nation.

DPH Motorsport’s Operations Manager, David Barker, was proud that the team was able to play a part in the ANZAC tribute.

“With everyone looking for handouts these days, we wanted to buck the trend. So this season we went searching for a way to give back to the community. With Round 3 of the MX Nationals falling on the ANZAC Day Weekend, we didn’t need to look any further.“

“Our tribute not only honours those from the original Gallipoli campaign, it also includes every person who has served for this country, and those still currently in service.“

“We are extremely proud that DPH Peter Stevens Yamaha has the opportunity to honour the Australian Defence Force, while also highlighting the incredible work the RSL does in helping our veterans and their families.”

RSL Victoria’s Marketing & Communications Coordinator, Brad Swain, praised DPH Motorsport for its support of the ANZAC Appeal.

“We are thankful to DPH Motorsport for the increased presence that the ANZAC Appeal will receive, and we look forward to the auctioning of the Helmets and Jerseys.”

DPH Motorsport would like to thank Peter Stevens Motorcycles, Magneto Industries and The Collective Family for their time, products and resources, which have been instrumental in making this initiative come to life.

DPH Peter Stevens Yamaha encourages everyone to support the ANZAC Appeal by purchasing an ANZAC Appeal badge and wearing it with pride, or by donating online at www.anzacappeal.com.au.
