Title: Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Post by LANCER on 09/18/18 at 11:50:22

I am once again participating in the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride in support for research into Prostrate Cancer. Please consider helping to support this world wide effort.

"RIDING DAPPER FOR A CAUSE: A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN'S RIDE.

On Sunday September 30th 2018, over 120,000 distinguished gentlefolk in over 650 cities worldwide will don their cravats, tustle their ties, press their tweed, and sit astride their classic and vintage styled motorcycles to raise funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and men's mental health.
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia by Mark Hawwa. It was inspired by a photo of Mad Men’s Don Draper astride a classic bike and wearing his finest suit. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way to combat the often-negative stereotype of men on motorcycles, whilst connecting niche motorcycle communities together.
That first ride in 2012 brought together over 2,500 riders across 64 cities. The success of the event encouraged the founder to consider how it could be used to support a worthy cause."

Influenced by the tragedy of losing one of our ride hosts to depression, from 2016 we have seen a change in our health fundraising goals. Now, the funding of men's mental health programs is a Distinguished Gentleman's Ride focus, in addition to prostate cancer research through our new official charity partner The Movember Foundation and the support of our title sponsors Triumph Motorcycles and Zenith Watches.

This year I'll be riding the HD Dyna, with my wife pillion.

If it works out and the dainty hipsters don't make a$$es of themselves,
next year I'll ride the Savage, which is currently being redesigned...

PS "67476" is the number on my Airborne Certificate 8-)

I'm ready ;)

My photographer friends wanted some action shots. I was happy to oblige and figured it was a good time to don the DGR get up.

The day started out cold and rainy. It warmed up, slightly, and the rain stopped, mostly. Only 15 of 42 bikes registered showed up for the Niagara Falls ride. But it was a good time and we had fun.

Glad to hear you made the ride.
I was not able to make the ride today nor nationally sanctioned motorcycle race yesterday, both of which I have looked forward to for months.
I have had severe nausea for 3 days and did not get out of the house at all. It feels like it is beginning to let up a bit and I’m hopeful to be over it by tomorrow.
Thanks to everyone for your donations for the cause of prostate cancer.
