Check out my ride report! If Atlanta is anything like NYC, there is no traffic! In New York, the DGR is an official event and is overseen by the NYPD/New York Highway Patrol ESCORTING the ride through traffic lights, intersections and highways. It’s magic!
2024 will be my 9th DGR. We had a nice group of Guzzi's in Indy in 2023.
In the past I tend to shy from the hipster dress-up organization, but dammit, now that I’ve moved to Portland, ME, I have a whole new city to start making friends and show off one of the bikes.Do they allow sidecars? Shirley, they must.
I'm considering joining the DGR from the Cleveland, OH rallypoint. I haven't gone deep enough into the registration to see what the costs are.
Anybody want to spend weekend at two wheels of Suches mc campground and do the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride out of Dahlonega, ga?May 17-19th 2024. DGR is on Sunday the 19th. https://www.gentlemansride.com/?prerego
I am neither distinguished or a gentleman, but might be interested.
I'll likely be at Barber for MotoAmerica that weekend.
There are no costs - or more appropriately, fees - associated. You register, are encouraged to make a donation and then encouraged to get others to do the same. Any costs are limited to what it takes to have a bike and complete the run, and wardrobe, of course.
What hasn't been mentioned here, and is often an afterthought in these conversations, is that this is a fundraiser for mens health. The funds generated are directed to organizations helping to combat mens mental health: 77% of suicides are men, 4x the rate of women, and also prostate cancer prevention and treatment.
It's simply a fun way to raise money for worthwhile causes, AND it's a highly visible way to show another side of Motorcycling to the general public that isn't "Sturgis' or a pack of squids on a urban expressway.
This is good news. I had a feeling it carried an "entry fee" type donation that might be high enough to "maintain a high brow atmosphere" or discourage squids looking for scene points.This is a big reason why I am interested in taking part.I love this aspect of the event recap videos. Good fun, good cause, good atmosphere. I have a deep disdain for the stereotypical biker gang mentality and events catering to that crowd.
Getting made fun of for dressing up yo ride a motorcycle?Like the millions of white collar yuppies transforming into their vision of "Easy Rider" before hitting the electric start in their $60k+ chopper? ;)
