The Distinguished
Gentleman’s Ride
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) is a global motorcycle charity event that unites classic and vintage-style motorcyclists to raise funds and awareness for men’s health. Founded in Sydney, Australia, in 2012 by Mark Hawwa, the event was inspired by a photo of Don Draper from Mad Men astride a classic bike in his finest suit. The goal was to combat the often-negative stereotype of men on motorcycles while connecting niche motorcycle communities together for a common cause.
