Hundreds of smartly dressed motorcyclists gathered in York on Sunday (May 17) for the 15th edition of The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride in support of men’s mental health and prostate cancer research.
Riders met at A1Moto before taking part in the annual charity ride, which sees classic and vintage-style motorcycle enthusiasts take to the roads in cities across the world on the same day.
Founded in Sydney 15 years ago, the event raises money and awareness for Movember, supporting projects focused on prostate cancer research and men’s mental health.
