The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride: More Than Just a Motorcycle Event

Riding Band

The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR) isn't your average motorcycle rally. Founded in 2012, this unique event combines classic style with a charitable purpose. Imagine hundreds of thousands of riders, dressed to the nines, cruising on vintage and classic motorcycles across the globe. That's the DGR experience.

Gentleman Ride

Breaking Stereotypes and Building Community

The DGR was born from a desire to challenge negative stereotypes about motorcycle riders. Founder Mark Hawwa envisioned an event that celebrated classic bikes and dapper style, while fostering a sense of community among enthusiasts. Inspired by a photo of actor Jon Hamm in a suit on a classic motorcycle, Hawwa created a global phenomenon.

The DGR isn't just about looking good and having fun. The event has a strong charitable mission, partnering with The Movember Foundation to raise funds for men's health issues like prostate cancer and mental health. In 2018 alone, the DGR raised over $6 million for these worthy causes.
