Nattily attired gentlemen and women took on to the roads again in Mumbai and Pune recently with their classic motorcycles for a global celebration of motorcycling, style, friendship and banter all in aid of giving a two-wheel salute to prostate cancer. Groups of smartly attired Triumph riders, along with other makes and models toured their respective cities in this stylish fundraising event. Close to 210 riders registered in both cities for the ride. Bikers in Mumbai started their ride at 8 am and made their first stop at the iconic Gateway of India and ended at Social in Lower Parel. The Pune ride was flagged of from the Triumph dealership in Pashan and ended at a popular café.
The Distinguished Gentlemen’s Ride is a global phenomenon founded by a bunch of Australian friends in 2012 and supported by Triumph Motorcycles. The flurry of elegant riders on their Triumph’s made for a pleasant sight on the Sunday morning, with an aim to create awareness on prostate cancer and raise money to support the research in the field of this fatal disease.
At least 50,000 riders in over 500 cities across 90 countries have taken part and united for the world’s largest motorcycling charity event upon their classic & vintage styled motorcycles. The numbers in India are also extremely encouraging with over 500 Triumph Motorcycles customers taking part in this unique celebration for a cause. This has been a popular event over the years with the Indian motorcyclist that has seen more than 1800 registered riders and raised over 5 lakh rupees from India.
Triumph Motorcycles has supported the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride in 2014 & 2015 and has played its part in accelerating the global growth of such a fantastic initiative this year as well. Apart from the well-dressed folks it is also the vintage style of the motorcycles regardless of brand that brings the essence and flavour of the event. Folks will be riding on Cafe' Racer, Bobber, Classic, Tracker, Scrambler, Old School Chopper, Modern Classic, Sidecar, Classic Scooter, Brat Styled motorcycles.
The ride has a focus on raising awareness and as much money as possible to combat a disease that kills one gentlemen every hour somewhere in the world.
