Perth Distinguished Gentlemans Ride

The DGR as its known has become a bit of a sensation, masses amounts of money gets raised each year for Mens Prostrate Cancer research and Mental Health, originating in Australia a few years ago its now a worldwide phenomenon, having never considered myself a Gentleman and by no means Distinguished I'd never given it a thought. Our friend Geoff Mumford was this years organiser and had been hassling us to take part, Fiona said she'd take part and then entered me as well using the excuse Geoff wanted a Norton along so that was it! It turned out to be a great day, met lots of old friends and met some new interesting people, maybe it should be re named the Interesting Peoples ride? Nice bikes, nice people, helping worthwhile charities and a gentle meander in the country, whats not to like, photos as always tell the tale, oh and our little group raised over £3000, thanks to all our sponsors.

Full marks to the guy who rode this!
Very nice Honda
Fiona scared a few by adding facial hair on the journey !

And finally, I take loads of photos but for the first time in a while somebody got their own back and posted this photo on social media, the Black and White over exaggerates my wrinkles and imho makes me look much older than 21, good picture though

  1. Aye Gino, you forgot your foundation! And they're no "wrinkles", just "chuckle lines"! May be take a transplant from Fiona's "Hey Jimmy!", if you find them that bad. ;)

    Good health, Myreside
