The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride is a global event where classic, vintage, and custom motorcycle enthusiasts raise awareness and funds for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and suicide prevention. It started in Australia in 2012. 

This year, 92 countries participated in the event. According to the website, there were 752 riders from the Philippines — 138 in Cebu and 614 in Manila — who raised over $4,000.

Among riders from Manila was Eraserheads vocalist Ely Buendia, who documented it on his Instagram account.
