Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride Team

[RichardL]

Finally able to designate a ride as this year's "Ride Solo" DGR. Rode out to the annual Chicago Norton Owner's Club Picnic. Illinois is fully open and I'm fully vaccinated, so, limitied worries, for me, at least. Granted, the ceremonial completion of the ride is all in my head. I guess I should have taken pictures of the CNOC bikes to add flavor to it. Sorry.

 I belong to CNOC with a few other BSA-only owners, because there is no CBSAOC.

Uuuh. Just remembered, pictures not possible because I had forgotten my phone. Also, I got lost on the way there. I may be the first person in 5 or 10 years to ask directions at a gas station. Station employee let me find it on the map on his phone.

So, very "Distinguished."

G'day Woz.

There was a way of registering for an A7A10 non country specific ride. RichardL can you help?

[BigJim]

All being well will be riding with the Bristol gents.

Thanks Woz, that got me in.
I think the prob was I had 2 emails previously entered after the schamozzel last years rego. I'll be in the Bathurst ride on the HD (the A7 won't be finished and I cant ride the Cafe that far!).
I searched for the Forum team but didn't find it.
Cheers

I will try to contact DGR admin in the next couple of days to have a forum team. As always, I'm surprised and disappointed at how few of our members are interested, but I understand that folks are here for their own reasons and with their own personalities, all of which are fine.

Don't know much about the DGR apart from its purpose. No bike owners clubs around here anyway (just a couple for classic cars - only motoring club I belong to is for racing). In fact my son is the only other person I know who rides a bike on the road.  Is there a means of making a donation instead?

[Big_Ben]

I'm doing it.

Look for a 6' 5" trans with a beard and a blue tartan mini skirt, riding a red Beemer and no, I'm not joking...

I did it a couple of times but no more. It all looks really great in the international events videos, but is (or at least, my chosen rides)  were disorganised, stop-start, and rather boring in both venues and bikes attending, if I'm being honest.
An excellent cause, though I'd rather just donate now.

Yes, I tend to agree with you. The ride is really about modern bikes who's riders are mostly knob-heads that just want show off and make a lot of noise. I've usually felt rather out of place on my ever-so-umble BSA. One time I got left behind by the boy racers so gave up and found my way home.

G'day Fellas.
All the rides I've been on were well organized and good routs taken. Last year I did a solo but this year there's a Bathurst ride. Hope the rout takes in Mt Panorama and or the old Vale Circuit. I'll show'em how to take corners on a HD
For members wishing to donate without riding you could wait till Richard can get a group together and post a link. You could then donate to the group. OR as I did last year, register, donate and do a solo ride.
Cheers
