Gather Round Bikers: DGR 2026 in Tokyo!
Calling all motorcycle enthusiasts! On May 17, 2026, a unique charity event titled
The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR 2026) will take place in Tokyo's metropolitan area, produced by Bikers Paradise. This global charity ride aims to support men's mental health and raise awareness of prostate cancer research, with participants dressing in classic styles.
In 2025, DGR saw participation from over 127,000 riders across more than 1,000 cities in 108 countries, raising over $7.6 million—a testament to its growing significance worldwide. One unique aspect of DGR is that any modern classic motorcycle is allowed, without restrictions on make or model. The key to this event is the “dapper attire”—a blend of stylish and thoughtful fashion choices. Everyone is welcome, including women, as there's no specific dress code; the goal is to showcase individual fashion preferences while riding, which enhances the overall experience of the event. This stylish approach has resonated well, especially among younger riders, thanks in part to the rise of social media.
