Summary

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride: Decade of Dapper documents and celebrates 10 years of raising funds and awareness for men’s health initiatives with engaging stories and gorgeous photography。 Starting from the simple, joyous act of riding a motorcycle, The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) has united hundreds of thousands of smartly dressed gentlefolk around the world on classic and vintage-style motorcycles to raise over $35 million for prostate cancer and men’s mental health initiatives。 The annual event has attracted the world’s attention and created some truly amazing stories (and thousands of great images) along the way。

The success of the DGR has seen it become so much more than just a charity event。 It’s now a kind of global moto family that’s made up of thousands of incredible stories, characters, cities, and ambassadors that are all wrapped up in a kind of motorcycling fashion renaissance。 It’s as much about the amazing people that make it happen as it is about the bikes。

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is filled with:


Engaging stories about the riders and what motivates them
Dapper fashion and stunning images from dozens of celebrated moto photographers in some of the world’s most iconic locations
Personal contributions from the likes of actor and TV presenter Charley Boorman, MotoGP world champion Freddy Spencer, and actor Jai Courtney

As a lasting record of the hundreds of stories of triumph and heartbreak from the DGR family, this book brings to life the positive, global impact that motorcyclists have made on men’s health

A rare book that will be loved a lot within the sheer niche community it's aimed at, and yet also be really important to people outside that。 The DGR is a global activity, wherein people dress up in geeky, fancy, "Peaky Blinders actors have nothing on me" suits, of whatever vintage and style they deem to be 'dapper', and ride their motorbikes about major cities, and in the end raise sh*tloads of cash for both mental and physical health charities。 This is an archive of that – the lads and lasses A rare book that will be loved a lot within the sheer niche community it's aimed at, and yet also be really important to people outside that。 The DGR is a global activity, wherein people dress up in geeky, fancy, "Peaky Blinders actors have nothing on me" suits, of whatever vintage and style they deem to be 'dapper', and ride their motorbikes about major cities, and in the end raise sh*tloads of cash for both mental and physical health charities。 This is an archive of that – the lads and lasses who have taken part, the celebrities who have got on board with the ethos and enjoyment of it all, the bikes they ride and where, and of course the fashions。Now, many people will take one look at the first photo we get of the founder of all this and wonder why the heck he's allowing two checks to clash in his get-up, but such basic mistakes aside, this is a success。 Some people will wonder at how low the word-count is here, but do we really need to read so much more about this one-day-a-year event? It is about embracing the look just as much as it is tugging up those revs, and this is about the look – gorgeous lasses and heaps of besuited geezers doing their thing and raising millions each time out for the benefit of others。 Handlebar moustaches are definitely optional, but never frowned upon – at least, not from the geezers。 So, to repeat, this will be a vital history for participants, and those seeking style tips for future events, but may spark recognition and thanks amongst others, or even ignite intention to do something similar。 This is a volume which does nothing except show the camaraderie of these bikers united by their quirks, their rides and their cause, and as slender as it may feel, and as dubious as some of the visuals are, this is a standout thing to get behind, and this celebratory volume is just as delightful。 。。。more
