The ‘Dapper Do’ is heading to Glasgow’s West Coast Brewery for the first time ever on Saturday, May 11, and will be raising money for a men’s mental and physical wellbeing charity, Movember. 

Multi franchise dealership West Coast Glasgow are supporting the event, which is being organised by the team behind the city’s Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. Just like the annual DGR charity rideout, 100% of the proceeds raised will go to bolstering the charity fund’s pot.

The event aims to offer an enhanced, and more accessible DGR experience, opening up the scene to those who may be unable to attend the ride itself.

Guests are invited to don their fineries – the more tweed the better, and enjoy a 1920s-inspired gala evening, brimming with live music, food and raffle prizes. 

Entry for the night costs £18 and must be booked in advance, no tickets will be available on the door. Dress code is described as: “Your dapper best,” so go to town.

Visit the Dapper Do website for more. The DGR itself is on Sunday, May 19.

MCN Content Writer, dog dad and motorcycle adventurer - After gaining experience in various technical roles within the motorcycle trade, I joined Motorcycle News as a Content Writer in 2024. My passion for motorcycles began early, growing up in a bike-enthusiast family. My youth was spent riding trails, motocross, and briefly road racing. At 19, after earning my A2 license, I discovered a love for touring, completing the NC500 in Scotland shortly after. Driven by a thirst for adventure, I undertook a ride from the UK to Azerbaijan and back, traversing Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. More recently, I undertook a 20,000km journey from the UK to South Africa along Africa’s west coast.
