Description

Over the past decade, The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride has rapidly established itself as one of the world's largest and most spectacular motoring events, while also raising an extraordinary amount of funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health initiatives. Having successfully raised $31.5 million since its inception, The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride has connected hundreds of thousands of smartly dressed gentlefolk around the world united upon their classic and vintage -style motorcycles to participate in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride in support of men's-health causes. This book documents and celebrates DGR's first decade with engaging text and gorgeous photography.

The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride unites classic and vintage-style motorcycle riders all over the world to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research 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 a Hollywood celebrity astride a classic bike while wearing his finest suit. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way of connecting niche motorcycle enthusiasts and communities while raising funds to support the men in our lives.
