I took a run into town today to see this year's Distinguished Gentleman's Ride. This is a worldwide charity event where riders get a chance to dress up.
I was spectating only. This isn't my sort of thing and none of my bikes are hip or trendy enough to pass muster. But since my brother was dressing up like a fool I thought it was worth attending. It was wet, but that didn't stop a large amount of riders attending.

ReplyDeleteI'd take the Ariel or the Nimbus in a heartbeat--what great designs! :D
ReplyDeleteNice to see so many turn up in the rain.
ReplyDeleteA good excuse for you to take incriminating pics of your brother too.
