This past Sunday, May 19th, classic and vintage motorcycles adorned the streets, piloted by dapper gentlemen raising awareness and funds for men's health initiatives. As a proud partner of the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR), Quad Lock was thrilled to be a part of this incredible event. RIders had the opportunity to join the Quad Lock team and have the chance to receive a custom DGR x Quad Lock case and be in the running to win the Ultimate Quad Lock pack.
Since 2012, the DGR has created a global movement for men's health. This event combines a love for vintage motorcycles with a mission to raise awareness and critical funds for prostate cancer research and men's mental health programs.
The atmosphere of the DGR this year was truly special. A sea of polished chrome and gleaming paintwork, the day was filled with 111,776 riders from all over the world, impeccably attired all together supporting a good cause. The event effectively combined elements of style and purpose, highlighting the power of community and a shared passion for vintage motorcycles.
On the day, Quad Lock played a role in ensuring a smooth and safe ride for many of the DGR participants. Lots of bikes sported our motorcycle mounts, keeping phones securely locked onto handlebars to navigate the routes with ease using the DGR app. Our own Quad Lock participant, Tim, a first-time DGR rider, shared, "It was fantastic seeing everyone come together for such a worthy cause. The camaraderie was awesome, and I loved spotting all the Quad Lock mounts! Plus, getting an exclusive pre-release ride on the new Royal Enfield 650 was an absolute privilege."
"As a brand heavily invested in the motorcycle community, partnering with The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR) was a fantastic opportunity. DGR's dedication to men's health aligns perfectly with Quad Lock's values, and our shared 2012 launch year made this collaboration even more meaningful. It's incredibly rewarding to combine forces with a like-minded organization and raise awareness for such a crucial cause." - Dom, Sponsorship Lead at Quad Lock
But the DGR is more than just a scenic motorcycle ride. It's a powerful statement about the importance of men's health. Since 2012, DGR has raised $51.95M USD for prostate cancer research and mental health initiatives that impact countless lives around the world.
We at Quad Lock are proud to have been a part of this inspiring event and look forward to contributing to the continued success of the DGR. We believe in the power of this event to raise awareness, inspire action, and celebrate the timeless spirit of motorcycling.
