Mark Hawwa – Founder of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride
“10 years ago we knew we needed to do more for men’s health. That’s why we partnered with the world’s largest men’s health charity, Movember. In the last 10 years, we have been proud to support men’s health on a global scale, in supporting the critical causes of prostate cancer and men’s mental health. Together with our community, we are proud to continue riding dapper for men’s health.”
Triumph Motorcycles is the Official Motorcycle Partner of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride for the 12th year running, playing a key role in supporting the event’s global reach and encouraging riders from all walks of life to participate.

Every year the DGR gets bigger, reaching and involving even more men and women across the world, in a way that represents the best aspects of our global motorcycle community, giving each of us the opportunity to help our fellow gentlemen. As well as raising even more funds for research through our involvement, we hope to increase awareness and encourage men to talk more about their health, helping them seek timely advice and support. It’s also a chance for all of us to simply enjoy some time together in May, bonding over our shared passion for vintage and modern classic motorcycles.”
