Triumph Motorcycles India is supporting the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride 2018 (DGR) for the fifth year running as the main motorcycle sponsor. On Sunday September 30th, 2018, over 120,000 distinguished gentlefolk in over 650 cities worldwide will don their cravats, straighten their ties, press their coats, and sit astride their favourite classic styled motorcycle to raise funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and men's mental health.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Shoeb Farooq, General Manager, Triumph Motorcycles India said, “Our shared focus via DGR is harnessing the passionate support of our riders to raise funds for research into prostate cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention programs, as part of the DGR’s mission to support men’s health globally. This year promises to be bigger than ever before and I look forward to a generous show of support from Triumph Riders across India.”

ABOUT DGR
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia by Mark Hawwa. It was inspired by a photo of Mad Men’s Don Draper astride a classic bike and wearing his finest suit. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way to combat the often-negative stereotype of men on motorcycles, whilst connecting the global motorcycling community.
That first ride in 2012 brought together over 2,500 riders across 64 cities. The success of the event encouraged the founder to consider how it could be used to support a worthy cause, leading to the biggest global ride outs to date last year with more than 94,000 riders in 92 countries raising $4.85m for charitable causes.
Triumph's Involvement
Triumph provides the main prizes for the leading fundraisers with the top 3 choosing from one of Triumphs iconic Bonneville line-up. In addition to this rider can sign-up to join the Triumph DGR riders group or the Bonneville Spirit of ’59 riders group on the DGR website, where the top 5 in each will win a full dapper riding outfit, including a Digby Tweed Jacket and leather weekend bag.
