    Thanks for doing that. Kate..As a prostate cancer survivor. I appreciate that.! I was in the UK for the past 2 1/2 almost 3 weeks just got back to Texas and the tiger 800 blog- ride out- raised 500 pounds towards prostate cancer. That was their charity this year and I was proud to be a part of that so good on you for participating. Thank you for bringing awareness to it!

    Well done for taking part, I joined my local ride which raised a good chunk of change too. It's good that you called out the 'all the gear all the time' point too. It's weirdly absent from many DGR reports. As you say, once a year on a slow ride with others you can make the call, and that's up to you.

    Hi Kate, did the DGR in tropical Northern part of Australia. It was a mild 6 deg C and finally got to 13deg C. Wind warning of 80K. The company of riders was great. The newbies were not dressed with thermals and suffered with snotty noses. Great modded bikes. Great to see enthusiasm for the major ailment of men.

    You looked sharp you made a good looking bike look better. Looks like a fun ride and for good causes. I’m a full face helmet rider but from the era of helmets were optional and even though I rode with a helmet most of the time (Bell Star) there was a sense of freedom riding without one somewhat like an open face helmet has.
