AKL one Sunday, 29 September 2013 Time 11:00 Auckland, New Zealand A day where cafe racers, classics, bobbers come together and ride in a distinguished manner spreading merriment along the way. Mission To bring classic and cafe racers bike owners together around the world for a dapper of a ride. Description The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride is an event for Cafe Racer, Bobber, Flat Tracker, Retro, Classic, Quirky Motorcycles and their owners. It is a worldwide event taking place on the same day in each respective time zone. It is a day where no matter what your work/social/life status may be everyone is equally distinguished. It therefore means we approve the right to wear monocles, attach brief cases to your bike, side saddle your bike as your chauffeur steers for you, wear a bow tie, shave your beard into a moustache, attach a cup holder for your high tea, use your satellite phone to call in your private chopper and above most ride your bike with one escort on the handle bars & one sitting on your lap. The link that brings the world together on this day are these two/three words 'Distinguished' & 'Caferacers'. To take part you need to be in the correct attire. Be as creative as you want or as bland as you want. The most important thing is to make yourself laugh, make others laugh and you have a blast along the way. here a look at one from Singapore http://vimeo.com/52732789#

Do we need to wait until then? If we all front up to Voltie's place in 3 piece suits for tea, sausage rolls and ginger crunch, we could then wobble off down to Max's for liquorice tea before heading down Queen St. to dazzle and impress the tourists. Good day out eh what?
Jolly good show UNNA.
Can Voltaire whip up something along those lines as I think that pams sausage rolls wont cut it if we are in Suits
Scheesh....its " ladies bring a plate"
As a kid, I was intrigued by the term "ladies bring a plate". Couldn't figure out why some organisations always ran short of plates . . . . took a while to realise that it was just a euphemism for"bring food" . . . .
How did you get on with BYO....
Yeah, still trying to get my head around that . . .
Looks like the Op Shop will need a visit . I still have my wedding suit , bloody thing must have shrunk in the wash.
