+VIDEO On Sunday 19 May 2024, The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) is coming to a city near you. The world’s largest charity event for classic and vintage motorcycle enthusiasts will return to raise funds for men’s health in style.
This year, the DGR is calling on riders from across the globe to join forces for a monumental push towards hosting 1,000 rides simultaneously, in line with its ‘Side by Side, Worldwide’ campaign.
“In 2024, we have set ourselves the goal of reaching 1000 cities around the world,” says founder and director of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, Mark Hawwa.
“We have ridden with each other on the same day all around the world since 2012. Our community is one that comes together, despite borders and oceans, riding side by side to raise increasingly critical funds and awareness for men’s mental health and prostate cancer.
“DGR 2024 is the year that we celebrate our fellow gentlefolk around the world that we ride alongside, united by a passion, and driven by the cause.”
Partners Triumph Motorcycles return to continue their global support of the charity motorcycling event with collaborative merchandise featuring both the DGR and Triumph brands, as well as rewarding the event’s highest fundraisers with brand new modern classic motorcycles.
Reserved for the highest fundraiser of 2024 will be a celebration of one of the most iconic Triumph models ever made, The Thruxton 1200 Final Edition.
Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles added: “We share the DGR’s ambitious goal for 2024; to bring even more riders together, in more places around the globe, to raise even more money for men’s mental health and prostate cancer.”
Hedon Helmets, ELF Lubricants and Quad Lock will also be rejoining the classic inspired charity event, with Consolidated Motor Spares (CMSNL.com) also joining as the newest global sponsor.
Riders are encouraged to fundraise for the cause, with all proceeds going to Movember’s men’s mental health and prostate cancer initiatives.
