Title: Distinguished Gentleman's Ride Sept. 27
Post by: kirkemon on September 08, 2015, 10:41:43 PM: This international event, which started in Australia, is a good fundraiser for prostate cancer. Events in over 400 cities in 78 countries. I assume many of you will be riding, and I encourage all to participate.

If your on the Los Angeles area, please join me.

Here's the video from last year.

Post by: JeffOlson on September 09, 2015, 06:01:50 PM: I was thinking of registering, as I have plenty of nice suits and other dapper clothing (along with a nice beard), but I no longer have a motorcycle or scooter that fits the style guide. What to do?

What to do? Maybe you should start a poll with some options, such as:
a) remove all the bags and body panels from the Norge
b) rent a suitable bike for the day
c) go shopping and re-qualify
d) ride pillion on some other distinguished gentlemen's bike

Jeff, I think you could redefine the style guide, (come as you are). Tie a ribbon in your beard, nobody will notice your Norge! :grin:

Post by: JeffOlson on September 10, 2015, 12:35:15 AM: I think I'll ride my Vespa! I know it's newer than '70's vintage, but it looks close enough... Especially with a ribbon in my beard!

Post by: Yarvis on September 21, 2015, 06:37:19 PM: I was thinking of doing this ride, but not sure if either of my bikes would qualify for the ride. 2014 MG Cali Touring or my 2001 BMW R1200c (cruiser)

Post by: LowRyter on September 21, 2015, 07:53:13 PM: yeah. all you have to do is sign up.....which is a pretty convoluted deal.

But sure, any bike or scooter will do.

Post by: Scud on September 25, 2015, 06:00:33 PM: $2K - nice work. I'm sneaking up on my $500 goal.

I'll also be at the LA ride on my V11 Scura - and I think we will see another V11 there.

I checked out your rider page - you'll be riding a Kawi. I'll try to keep an eye out for you, but over 400 riders... wow.

Post by: LowRyter on September 25, 2015, 06:20:22 PM: I am up to $35. My $20 + a $15 match, that of course, I matched back to him.
