Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
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.

To donate my link is: https://www.gentlemansride.com/rider/lancer27


"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.

In theory, theory and reality are the same. In reality, they aren't...

https://www.gentlemansride.com/rider/mauriziopescatori67476  Cool

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  Cool

I'm ready  Wink

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.
