The Distinguished Gentleman's ride 22 May this year.
https://www.gentlemansride.com
If you can get your hands on any motorbike for the ride it's lots of fun and the money goes to prostate cancer research. |

I looked it up and my 900SS or Road Glide do not fall into the "styles" of bikes they are looking for.

I'm bottom of the food chain (a very humble Honda trail bike) and was welcomed with open arms.
A 900SS puts you into celebrity class. Around here there s all sorts of weird and wonderful going on. A guy dressed as the mad hatter. A huge fat guy on a tiny mini bike. A bike with a beer keg as the fuel tank. Wheel spins, wheel stands, 300 bikes ridding shoulder to shoulder through town making as much noise as possible - what's not to like

I think I tossed all my ties when I moved back to Arizona. But my 1970 BMW would fit right in if I could find a smoking jacket at Value Village.

Sure would! A guy on the ride had a late 50's BMW (can't remember, '56, '57. '58?) and I asked what it was like to ride. He said it's like riding a couch, everything is very soft and comfortable LOL |

It's Sunday here right now, and heading off for the ride.
All the best to you guys also going for the ride and fundraising for prostate research. |

Sorry, didn't think to take pic's. The girls were naked and looking good. Truth be told; it was a little bit quieter than previous years. I hope their fund raising went OK. We had a good time and a few or us ended up in a local bar afterwards for a debrief.

No flag girls here in Lincoln Nebraska. Mostly just a bunch of us old guys, a few young guys and a couple of gals.

Excellent Kurt.
The good news is the ride has raised more than $31.6 million for prostate cancer research https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10842057/Bikers-hit-road-vintage-motorcycles-years-Distinguished-Gentlemans-Ride.html |
