The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride is based on an idea dreamed up in 2012 by Mark Hawwa in his native Australia. Since its inception, the DGR has transformed over 650 cities in 95 countries across the globe as enthusiastic riders proudly display their elegance on café racers, scramblers, choppers, bobbers or vintage scooters. Numerous bystanders in London, Paris, New York, Hong Kong, Munich, Vienna, Andorra and other cities observe from the sidelines in awe as hundreds of bikers ride through the city centre, often kindly posing for photos with enthusiastic tourists and wide-eyed youngsters.
