Help Needed For A Good Cause

[Journeyman]

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride unites classic and vintage style motorcycle riders all over the world to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health.

September 29th I'm riding the '98 Thunderbird Sport in the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride held in Asheville, NC.

@Kevin frazier, who shared with me that he lost his brother to cancer, has already started the ball rolling with a $104 donation to my page. We both hope to see the members here who can join us in supporting this important cause.

There are several ways to donate. Go to my page (remember all the money goes straight to DGR, not to me) at...

DGR/Blake Madden

or better yet the team page I created where you can donate or join and ride at...

DGR/R3Owners. I have set a community goal of $3,000.

If you don't like using a credit card online, there is a mail in form you can use (attached).



This will be my fourth DGR and is the only charity ride I've ever done. It's a very unique and fun event and it is sponsored by Triumph.

AWESOME! I've ridden the DGR and raised some funds in Las Vegas and now that I'm stateside, if I have my girl back by then (she's at a friends parents house until we finish our move)... I'm signed up for the Miami DGR run. A great ride for a great cause...

There is something similar available in the UK called the DIGBY. (By Triumph).

I just scored a similar Jacket from KNOX. (warning their sizes are on the "close" side.)

Here ya go, last one and size right too for most Captains XXXL

A bargain, look smart and make sure the donation occurs.

The removable CE certified D3o® protectors – shoulder, elbow and back would be worth nearly that alone.

Item location:
Cardiff, United Kingdom so freight/post might be nasty for us colonials.
hey say sell worldwide but I was blocked so it looks like someone else will be the equally best dressed on the day
I am a jacket nut but have about 20 already.
