Distinguished Gentleman's Ride 2025 – Exeter

DGR

Yesterday, thousands of riders around the globe took to the streets for the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, and we were proud to once again host the Exeter leg of the global event. This year marked our 10th year of hosting the DGR here at Bridge Motorcycles, and what a milestone it was – our biggest ride yet with a record-breaking 180 dapper riders joining us in style.

Bathed in glorious sunshine, the Exeter ride was a true celebration of community, character, and cause. Our riders braved the rising temperatures, many dressed in full three-piece suits, tweed jackets, waistcoats, and cravats – proving once again that style and dedication go hand in hand. We saw moustaches on helmets, Union Jacks, polished boots and many classic bikes, each one as unique as the person riding it.

This year’s ride had a real buzz to it – not just because of the turnout, but because of what it all stands for. The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is more than a ride out – it’s a global movement raising awareness and funds for men’s mental health and prostate cancer.

And Exeter – you absolutely smashed it.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our riders and their supporters, the Exeter ride has raised an amazing £6,505 so far. That brings our 10-year total to an astounding £58,890 raised for men’s health. Fundraising is still open until June 1st, so there’s still time to support this great cause.

We also want to give a huge shoutout to our top three fundraisers this year:

1st Andy Nolan £687

2nd Bob Parkinson £583

3rd Sam Sleep £525

Gentlemen – you’ve gone above and beyond, and we’re incredibly grateful for your efforts. And to everyone who’s raised, donated, or supported – thank you for being part of something so important.

This event is always a highlight in our calendar and we’re already excited to welcome everyone back in 2026. Together, we’re making a real difference.

Below, you’ll find a gallery of images from yesterday’s ride – can you spot yourself?
