PERCHED atop his growling iron steed, Cory "Mumbles" Brady cut a striking figure at Saturday's fund-raiser for young magpie-attack victim Seth McInnes.
Like the pied piper's fabled melody, the guttural snarls bellowing from his Harley lured queues of wide-eyed passengers for a ride around Kearneys Spring Historical Park.
"It's just about supporting our local community and helping out a family in need," the Life and Death Motorcycle Club member said.
"The $5 donation for each bike ride will go straight towards Seth's medical treatment."
The story of four-year-old Seth McInnes' encounter with an ill-tempered magpie has touched hearts around the country.
At Saturday's fund-raiser, the sunglasses-clad firecracker was hard to track down, scampering between the face painting stalls, motorbikes and rides on the miniature steam train.
Grandmother Rhonda McInnes said he had shown enormous courage, despite the permanent eye damage caused by September's magpie attack.
"We're all so proud of how brave he's been," she said.
"The other day he fell down twice climbing the stairs at Grand Central.
"When his dad asked him what was wrong, he laughed and replied, 'I think I must be drunk!'"
