Sunday, September 30, 2018, tens of thousands of distinguished gentlemen in hundreds of cities around the world will wear ties and tweeds and sit on their classic and vintage bikes to raise money and awareness of prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of our charity partner, the Movember Foundation.
The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia by Mark Hawwa. He was inspired by a picture of Don Draper by Mad Men, sitting on top of a classic bike and wearing his most elegant suit. Mark decided that a theme tour would be a great way to fight the often negative stereotype of motorcyclists, linking niches of motorcycle communities all over the world.
From the Trieste Prima article "The idea of bringing this event to Trieste also comes from the idea of a group of motorcycle bikers who over the past three years have participated in the rides organized by other cities, always thinking 'but why we in Trieste with our history, our magnificent landscapes and our madness we do not try to put our name on the world list of participating cities? ' Start of the ride is the Franz Josf Stube of Aurisina Stazione, a historical location that recalls the past glories of the area when the Austro-Hungarian Empire dominated the Giuliani lands. "
At 12.30 we wait for the ride at Parovel Winery to let the participants taste our products and visit the wine cellar. Together with us there will also be the Cavana Brewery with its specialties.
