My first time riding at THE DISTINGUISHED GENTLESMAN RIDE!

Hey Everyone!!
It was my FIRST time riding at the Distinguished Gentlemans Ride.
I had been meaning to do this for YEARS but I was always working and could never commit.
Triumph kindly lent me an appropriate bike so I could ride in style!!
I tell you what... i'll be doing it next year but I'll post about it alot earlier so we can get a little gang together!!! Anyone welcome! Roll on 2023!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!!!
