Riders, now is the time to gather! May 17th in Tokyo, that day, you will be the 'subject.'

On Sunday, May 17, 2026, Biker's Paradise will participate as a producer in the 'DGR 2026 TOKYO CENTRAL' event, the Tokyo metropolitan event for the globally simultaneous charity event 'DGR2026 (The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride).'

The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride 2026

This event is a charity ride where riders from around the world participate in classic-style attire, aiming to support men's mental health and raise awareness and donations for prostate cancer research. In 2025, approximately 127,000 people participated in over 1,000 cities across 108 countries, raising over 7.6 million dollars, showing its global expansion.

A feature of DGR is that there are no restrictions on manufacturers or bike models, as long as the participating vehicle is a modern classic bike. Moreover, what's important is 'dapper attire,' which can be summed up as 'commitment and stylishness.' Of course, women are also very welcome. The event can be enjoyed even more by focusing on how to participate with carefully selected items, not just limited to suit styles. Recently, this style has become popular on social media, expanding support from younger generations of riders.

This year marks the 15th time.
