Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride with a BMW R75/5

Friday 16th May 2025

With the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride just around the corner, the buzz of polishing chrome and pressing tweed is in the air. For classic motorcycle enthusiasts, few rides bring the same mix of style, camaraderie, and purpose. This year, I’m proud to be riding my 1970 BMW R75/5—a timeless machine that still turns heads and runs like a dream when treated right.

Preparing for DGR is more than donning a sharp outfit; it's about honoring the ride, the cause, and the motorcycle itself. This year, Lance went the extra mile and he picked up a brand new suit just for the occasion. Classic, tailored, and full of vintage flair, it’s the perfect match for the R75/5’s elegant lines and unmistakable pinstripes.

After a thorough tune-up, a good polish, and a test ride through the back roads, the Beemer is ready. I can’t wait to join fellow riders, all dressed in their Sunday best, raising awareness for men’s health with style and purpose.

See you in Amersfoort, look for the white Beemer with the black pinstripes and a sharp-dressed gentleman and a grin behind the goggles.

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

Monday 12th May 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.
