Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride - Perth 2025




Scooter magnificence! Well, the Ariel is not a scooter but you know....

The Three Amigos, Dusan, Jim and myself enjoying a coffee beforehand

I was captured by 9 News as we rode into the starting point at Elizabeth Quay



We had a prime spot near the sculpture.

Jim's 1958 NZeta, a New Zealand license-built Czeta scooter. It's a great, unique piece of machinery.

Moto Guzzi Californian police special

The classic-styled Royal Enfields were a popular choice

Another Moto Guzzi

Monkey Bikes

Lambrettas

BMW 75/7

The oldest bike attending was a 1941 BSA 500cc

Certainly the best bike there. DGR used to be a classic motorcycle event but now they are few and far between. I mean, I get it. Modern bikes are a lot easier to ride, but still....

Honda big and little

Ural outfit

And the bikes set off. The ride went from Elizabeth Square, down Canning Highway, Preston Point Road down to Fremantle.

We decided not to do the run - too much to do on Sunday - so we set off at the end of the pack.

After posing...

The ride featured on the Channel 10 and Channel 9 news. I was captured in a shot as we rode in (screenshot earlier in the post).
