Tim Banks builds motorcycles. He owns his own shop and has won national awards. He's also the son of a cancer survivor and is using his talents to create something special.

This is the first time he's showed off this motorcycle he hopes will raise awareness for breast cancer. The bike has a hand-made motor mount with 12 steel ribbons. Each represents the women in his life that are fighting the disease including his mother.

Banks' motorcycle is now part of a national tour that starts in Nashville this weekend at the Easy Riders Bike Show' and travels to cities all over the United States.
