The bg day has arrived....

Sunday 18th May 2025

As I made my cuppa,  I am glad the weather has stayed dry. Could be warmer but am not complaining.

Bike ready, tyre pressures checked, a quick polish and we're ready. 

Riding together, globally,  to make that difference and enjoy a fun ride out. 

Locking forward to seeing the dapperness today 😁

Nearly time

Thursday 15th May 2025

So with less than 5 days to go, the weather is looking favourable....☀️

The GN is awaiting a final check over and a polish 🌟

The dapper outfit is pressed and ready...👔

DGR 2025, Here we come 😎

Not long now

Tuesday 6th May 2025

Just under two weeks until the ride.

Really hoping weather will be kind to all rides happening globally...

Thoughts turning to this years outfit....neckwear in particular .... scarf, tie or bowtie ....decisions decisions 😆

Suzuki is running lovely at the moment,  will give her a good polish and have her looking her best for the day.

Was hoping to use Vespa again; but it's in pieces awaiting piston rings...

Can't wait to take part in this year's event; in memory of lost friends.

May....

Saturday 3rd May 2025

May is here 🙌

Not long now. Settled on the MK ride out this time round. 

Hoping to raise a few more pennies for the cause.

Long weekend now, to do a bit more dapper outfit planning 👔🎩

Get the GN ready for a service and polish up...

And enjoy a bit of relaxation 😌 

Rain or shine

Tuesday 22nd Apr 2025

As Easter weekend draws to a close, the weather is a bit damp....April showers...

Hoping for another dry spell to service the GN and give her a well-earned spring clean and polish..

Just under 4 weeks to go 🤞🏍

Preparation, preparation, preparation...

Monday 14th Apr 2025

Another year, another DGR...

This year, I think it will be my trusty GN250 that will be my steed. 

Vespa is in need of piston rings, and time is ticking....

We shall see.

Just glad to be signed up and ready for the ride,  rain or shine 🙌

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

Monday 24th Mar 2025 On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.
