Suit up everyone, this day is going to be LEGEN-wait for it -DARY.
Okay, so I found this event on facebook after Dan McCloskey "liked" it and we both thought it wold be fun to put together this local chapter of the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride on Sunday September, 30th. The official description of this event, as described on their facebook page, says "To bring together the world for one day of immature stupidity & fun on two wheels while wearing a suit." So who's in?

About
30th September, 2012 - A day where Cafe racers, bobbers, flat trackers, classics, and retro's across the globe unite. We ride the world for no reason in suits being distinguished.
Mission
To bring together the world for one day of immature stupidity & fun on two wheels while wearing a suit. 30th September, 2012
Description
The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride is an event for Cafe Racer, Bobber, Flat Tracker, Retro, Classic, Quirky Motorcycles and their owners. It is a worldwide event taking place on the same day in each respective time zone. It is a day where no matter what your work/social/life status may be everyone is equally distinguished. It therefore means we approve the right to wear monocles, attach brief cases to your bike, side saddle your bike as your chauffeur steers for you, wear a bow tie, shave your beard into a mustache, smoke an old school pipe while riding, attach a cup holder for your high tea, drink JW Blue (while stopped and in consideration) use your satellite phone to call in your private chopper and above most ride your bike with one escort on the handle bars & one sitting on your lap.
The link that brings the world together on this day are these two words 'Distinguished' & 'Suit'.
To take part you need to be in a suit. Be as creative as you want or as bland as you want. The most important thing is to make yourself laugh, make others laugh and you have a blast along the way.
