When Bunbury mum Keira put a call-out on social media for anybody with a Harley Davidson to "pop by" McDonald's on Friday and rev their bikes for her son on his 13th birthday, she couldn't have dreamt of the amazing response her request would get.
Zane, who has cerebral palsy, loves motorbikes and so Keira said he would be "stoked" to see a two-wheeler on his big day.
"It would absolutely make his day if you could pop by McDonalds Eaton around 12.40pm to give us a wave and a bit of a rev," she said.
"The louder the better!
"In return you will get one of these smiles and a million and one flaps of joy."
Less than 24 hours later, as Zane waited patiently outside McDonalds, the revs from dozens of motorcycles filled the air as hundreds of strangers arrived to wish the new teenager a happy birthday.
His mother was in tears as Zane waved his arms in joy and had a smile ear to ear as each bike rode passed him, some stopping to give him gifts including a Harley helmet and t-shirt, and others shouting out "happy birthday".
Others chose to simply rev their engine, sending Zane into a spin of delight.
The crowd then sung happy birthday, with the Bunbury community commending the biking community for getting behind such a beautiful cause.
"[This] truly brought tears to my eyes. What a heartwarming and beautiful thing to do for this special little man... so proud of the Bunbury bike riders right now," wrote one social commentator.
"Zaney is my great nephew and to see how much love he has around him on his 13th Birthday is so so beautiful, thank you all so much," wrote another.
"I have been watching this post since last night, the response was immediate and massive. Has truly warmed my heart to see what a community is willing to do for one boy most have never met," someone else said.
"This absolutely shows what the city of Bunbury is, we are not only a community but a family that supports and cherishes every moment we have together," posted one resident.
