More than 100,000 riders, across 900 cities in 107 countries, took part in the 2023 Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride on 21 May.
It was a record-breaking year, according to the organisers, raising US$7.38 million toward prostate cancer and men’s mental health.
Since 2012, the event has connected more than 400,000 riders of classic and vintage styled motorcycles from 120 countries around the world and raised just under US$45 million for men’s health.
The 2023 DGR celebrated 10 years of partnership with Triumph Motorcycles and Triumph released a special limited edition motorcycle, the Bonneville T120 Black Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride Limited Edition motorcycle.
Ride founder, Mark Hawwa, said, “I would never have expected that 12 years into The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, we would be celebrating such an incredible milestone – releasing our very-own limited edition motorcycle with Triumph, and raising record-breaking funds for our charity partner, Movember.
“Since 2012, this global community has gone from strength-to-strength, with this year being our strongest ever. It’s clear that the DGR community has stretched beyond what we ever could have imagined, and that the dedication in each city is proof that folks just need a chance to get together and connect with their fellow riders.”
