Around 300 bikers and pillion riders, all dressed and deked out, gathered at the Tangalwood premises on September 29 for The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride’s Nepal edition. A global event to combat the stereotype of men on motorcycles, and to connect the global motor­cycle communities, the ride which started in 2012 is now helping raise funds for men’s mental health programs and for prostate cancer research through its new official charity partner—The Movember Foundation.

Founded in Sydney, Australia by Mark Hawwa, The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride this year was conducted a day later on Sept 30 in over 650 cities worldwide. Taking part were 120,000 distinguished gentlefolk donning their dapper clothes and riding their vintage motorcycles.

The Nepal chapter of the DGR was hosted jointly by Tangalwood Events and RS Moto and saw men and women, both locals as well as expats, take part with great zeal.
