Last Sunday over 56,000 elegant gentlefolk took to the streets in style, donning their finest suits and commandeering their classic motorcycles in aid of raising money and awareness for cancer research and male suicide prevention. The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) transformed over 503 cities across 90 countries worldwide across the globe on behalf of the Movember Foundation, as enthusiastic riders proudly displayed their sartorial prowess whilst astride their weapons of choice, be it café racers, scramblers, choppers, bobbers or vintage scooters. 
This year is the DGR’s largest yet, and a record sum of $3.350m has already been raised, which is well on the way to the global target of $5m.
The Zenith Team is aiming to raise $100,000 and with a figure already totalling over $80,000, is so far on track to easily reach that goal. Zenith Team was the largest team to ride in the DGR this year, but also reached its objective of being the top fundraising team, which is an indication of the dedication and unwavering passion of the friends and partners of the brand who took the time to sign up.
