It was an impressive sight that turned heads on Hastings Street last Sunday morning as 250 motorbike riders in exquisite outfits thundered down the strip for the start of the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR).

The event, that will this year be held in more than 700 towns in more than 100 countries, has since its inception in 2012 raised funds for men’s health issues.

The Sunshine Coast DGR, co-hosted by Scott Macken, of Scooter Style, Noosaville and Carl Burroughs had an almost record attendance this year.

Carl said the local event raised more than $54,000 for men’s mental health and prostate cancer.

The ride travelled from Hastings Street to The Apollonian Hotel at Boreen Point ending with a post-ride event featuring the Kitty Kats and a variety of competitions.
