The Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride this year was a spectacular turn out. We truly appreciate each and every person who came along to the ride, donated, or helped out in anyway towards the great causes supported by this event.
Over 150 bikes and riders arrived to glide across Mid Kent, en-mass in all sorts of ensembles. We saw a huge amount of effort for those that turned up, and dressed dapper as a collective.
Embarking on our journey through the picturesque countryside of Mid Kent, it quickly became evident that describing our procession as a mere convoy would be a gross understatement; we were, without a doubt, the focal point of many an onlooker's day, igniting curiosity and admiration wherever we passed.
Gentlemen and Gentleladies united in their finest gear (some moustaches more genuine than others), we were blown aways with the huge amount of support we received to do our bit.
As our convoy meandered through the scenic countryside, the sheer magnificence of the sight was enough to evoke a sense of wonder and awe. Witnessing numerous bikers and their passengers navigating the roads in unison, driven by a shared mission to raise funds and uplift spirits within the local community, was indeed a sight to behold.
We were graced with an exceptionally diverse gathering of riders and their respective machines, each one a testament to the enduring allure of motorcycling across the ages. From vintage classics to modern marvels, the roads came alive with the thunderous symphony of engines, leaving a trail of joy and exhilaration in their wake. Even beneath the protective shield of open-face helmets, the contagious enthusiasm and joy were palpable, creating an atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie at each pit stop along the way.
As a collective, the Mid-Kent DGR community achieved an astounding feat, rallying together to raise a staggering £13,926, a testament to the unwavering dedication and generosity of our 152 riders.

Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required. Please see our complaints page for our complaints policiy and regulatory complaints.
