The Distinguished Gentlemans Ride unites classic and vintage-style motorcycle riders all over the world to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and mens mental health. The Distinguished Gentlemans Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia, by Mark Hawwa. It was inspired by a photo of a Hollywood celebrity astride a classic bike while wearing his finest suit.
