The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride 2019 - Mutt Motorcycles Australia

It's that time of year again!! The annual Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, in support of prostate cancer research and men's mental health is upon us! We hold DGR close to our hearts, we all know someone who has been, is going to or will go through mental health issues and want to do more. Being based in the birthplace of the Gentlemans Ride, we at Mutt Motorcycles Australia feel a responsibility to make a top effort. Last year we had a big party; between the hog roast, the riding and the afterparty we made our share of noise... Last year's ride We left from our old home in Mona Vale, riding together to join the main Sydney ride with 'the committee", a handsomely clad bunch of ladies and gents out in force to show support and raise much needed funds for Movember and the ever growing Distinguished Gentleman's movement. The early caffeine fueled ride was cold, but warmed with a sense of camaraderie none of us felt it as we pounded the streets toward Bondi to meet the 800+ other crusaders for the cause. The gorgeous morning ride into the city was spiced by the smell of salty air as it warmed, we arrived feeling refreshed and eager to join in the festivities on the beachfront. The ride itself did not disappoint, with all sorts of characters on all kinds of retro steeds including a great turnout of Mutt riders. The atmosphere was family friendly fun while everyone attending had a stern awareness of why we were there. As ever, the route was held a tight secret until the last minute but was so well organised that there was no need to worry about where you were going, just enjoy riding together, waving at bewildered onlookers who were certain to now either be utterly confused or thankfully aware of the cause. The highlight of the Sydney ride is when you lift your head and see the harbour bridge in front of you with every lane plastered with nothing but bikes. Riding across one of the most beautiful, iconic and recognisable landmarks in the world alongside comrades, friends and other riders is an experience for any rational person's bucket list. The finale and gathering in the entertainment quarter was great fun, lots of great yarns, good laughs and even more funds pouring into the coffers of the Movember foundation, for some, this is the one day a year that they see each other and the whole area was buzzing with excitement, catching up with old friends while checking out the spectacular array of vintage style bikes that had made it onto the ride. Once we had refreshed ourselves we set back off in smaller groups to Mutt Australia HQ for live music, and juicy hog roast and a few beers. Markd barbers of Seaforth offered a charity pop up shop and we held a charity auction, both afforts earning some hard cash for The Movember Foundation.
