Noosa’s Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was a great success on Sunday, bringing together almost 300 riders and raising about $30,000.
Noosa ride organiser Cameron MacGowan said it was a good, safe ride and while it was a bit hot to be wearing a suit, the debonair outfits grabbed people’s attention.
Cameron praised the police who assisted with traffic, volunteers who helped out and the riders.
“Everyone behaved in a gentlemanly manner,” he said.
The worldwide event brings together riders on vintage style motorcycles passing through more than 600 cities in a spectacular parade to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and mental health programs on behalf of official charity partner, the Movember Foundation.
