Featured Rideout Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride 2022

I hope you both have a great DGR. I'm disappointed that there's not one happening in Tucson this year. I've been checking around and I think that one of the main sponsors / organizers of the DGR here has had some life changes happen during our "Covid Times".

 

This was my 20017 entry ride. ( if I've managed to post it )

Doing it this year on my speedmaster.

 

Would like to ride, however the closest one to me is thirty miles and no way I am riding that far without gear…in other words, not in a coat, tie, and Wingtips. Since I am on a TTRS I have no way to carry the “proper” outfit to change into.

 

I'll be taking part in the North Yorkshire one this year, which will be the 7th time. When I lived in Winchester I did the Poole DGR three times, the Solent twice and the Salisbury one last before covid.

 

Interesting, you lived in Winchester...I'm in it's sister City...Winchester

 

Now there's a coincidence - I seem to remember something about General "Stonewall" Jackson and Winchester from my sketchy knowledge of the American Civil War

 

I will be on the Bournemouth/Poole dgr.5th year.Great cause,great day out

 

where is that please

 

where is that please

 

I'll be riding in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.... First ride on my Thruxton 1200RS....

 

when did life get so complicated ?

 

It's in York, starting and finishing at A1 Moto, the Triumph dealership

 

I had already registered for the Cardiff DGR and raised a couple of hundred quid but out of the blue was called for some overdue spine surgery at the end of April, and they said I couldn't ride or drive for 2 months after. I went in for the surgery but it was cancelled on the day (lack of beds) so unless I get a call before then I'll be taking part after all on this.

 

@PatW

PatW, somehow I missed that your spine surgery was cancelled. Have you been able to get it rescheduled? Tough to be all ready for it mentally then have it called off at the last minute. It would be nice if you were able to to the DGR after all, though. I love that photo of your bike.

 

Yes @Sandi T , cancelled on the day. No official date yet but could be first week of June, bit frustrating but I can't complain as it's a $90,000 operation that I get free on the NHS.

 

Yes, it would be a bit tough to complain about a free operation that would have cost $90K. But I hope that you get back on the schedule soon so you can be over and done with it.

 

100%, I've just taken my bike back out of storage at my wife's aunts house as we were also due to be moving and once I'm sliced and diced I can't ride or drive for 2 months. Hopefully we can make the DGR next weekend, helmet is painted too.
