Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride: A Celebration of Style and Purpose

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) is a global charity event uniting classic and vintage-style motorcycle enthusiasts to raise awareness and funds for men’s mental health and prostate cancer research. Supported by Triumph Motorcycles, the DGR has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, bringing together dapper riders to combine a love for motorcycles with a commitment to an important cause. Erico Motorsports is the official host of the Denver Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. 

What Makes the DGR Special?

Each year, tens of thousands of riders don their sharpest attire—think flashy old-school suits, ties, and waistcoats and hit the streets on their vintage or retro-styled bikes. This event highlights the elegance and fun of motorcycling while fostering a positive community image, breaking stereotypes about riders, and inspiring a sense of global connection.

The DGR was founded in Sydney, Australia, by Mark Hawwa, who wanted to bring riders together to showcase style and class while supporting a good cause. Since its inception, the event has raised millions of dollars for men’s health initiatives and inspired riders worldwide to join the movement.

A Global Movement

Riders across more than 100 countries participate in the DGR, from major metropolitan areas to smaller towns. Celebrities, motorcycling legends, and passionate enthusiasts alike come together, making this one of the most recognized and celebrated charity events in motorcycling culture.

A Focus on Men’s Health

Proceeds from the DGR go directly to Movember, a leading men’s health charity focusing on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. By combining style, community, and action, the DGR not only raises funds but also sparks important conversations about these vital issues.

Whether you’re a motorcycling enthusiast or someone who admires the creativity and purpose behind the event, the DGR offers a unique way to make a difference while celebrating the rich culture of classic motorcycling.
