Now that is how you do Sunday best! 🏍️✨

It was great to be part of the Chichester DGR last weekend and lovely to receive photos from one of our wonderful customers Mark, who along with friends took part in the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride last Sunday.

Dressed to the nines in dapper vintage style, they took to the road to raise awareness and funds for men’s mental health and prostate cancer research.

We love seeing our community look incredible while supporting such an important cause. Brilliant effort! 👏🎩
