Classic motorcycle riders don their Sunday best for charity spin around Belfast streets
Sunday afternoon shoppers were treated to a spectacular parade of finely dressed bikers astride their machines as they moved in convoy as part of The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride. Billed as the world's most stylish motorcycling charity event, Belfast joined thousands of other cities and towns in hosting the parade in support of men's mental health and prostate cancer research as part of the Movember campaign. The ride has now become an annual event in May, with hundreds of bikers donning their Sunday best for the cavalcade through the streets The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia, by Mark Hawwa in 2012, with more cities getting involved in the spectacle every year. It was inspired by a photo of Mad Men's Don Draper (actor John Hamm) astride a classic motorcycle and wearing his finest suit. The hit TV show leaned heavily on the style of the Sixties. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way of connecting niche motorcycle enthusiasts and communities while raising funds to support men's charities. Riders taking part are encouraged to wear monocles, sport jaunty trimmed moustaches, silk vests, crisp shirts and tailored suits. Aside from their two-wheeled transport, all they need to bring is their finest manners, a sense of fun and a ready smile. More than 250 signed up for the Belfast ride, with almost £20,000 already raised for the Movember charity ahead of the event.
