After registering, have a dig around your DGR dashboard and rider page. You’ll be able to view the full Melbourne ride route, upload a handsome profile photo and see where to make and receive donations. If you’re feeling inspired there’s also a section where you can type up your life story or just let the world know what the DGR means to you. In the week leading up to DGR we’ll be organising a pre-ride workshop day for Kommune members, so keep an eye on our Kommune Social events page, Instagram and Facebook.

RSVP HERE IF YOU’RE RIDING WITH TEAM KOMMUNE

Caffeine & Gas

Fill your tank and meet us at Kommune around 8:30am on Sunday 22nd May for coffee and donuts and we’ll roll out together. Traditionally the DGR has been a showcase for classic, vintage and modern-retro bikes but if you don’t fall into that style category don’t worry, we’re keen to ride with anyone who shows up. Top drawer prizes for the most dollars raised by an individual, best dressed participant and best custom bike, as voted by your Kommune mates.

Mo’ Motos Mo’ Mates

Each year thousands of riders around the world roll out in their finest attire to raise awareness around men’s mental health and generate funds for research into prostate cancer. The ride definitely isn’t just for gents and it definitely isn’t a bro-down. You ride? You’re in. The only thing between your legs that matters for the DGR is a motorcycle and if you haven’t got a bike, hit up a mate who does and hop on the back. We’re in this together.

We can all agree on the importance of communicating openly about the challenges that impact mental and physical health but let’s be honest, they’re not easy subjects to approach. In our experience, a bit of moto chatter does a good job at breaking the ice and if there’s one event of the year where moto chatter fills the air it’s the DGR. Whether you rock up in a show stopping vintage costume or just pop a handkerchief in your pocket, it’s your presence that matters most, let the ride do the rest.

DGR & Kommune Konnections  

This year’s Melbourne ride is a real milestone for our community and the Kommune Konnections program, which has been funded by the DGR and Movember as part of their Social Connections Challenge. The support we’ve received from these legends has enabled us to create more opportunities for more of us to get together more often, on and off the bike. Being part of this global wellbeing initiative has been a catalyst for the expansion of our moto family and a great conversation starter when it comes to supporting the people we wrench and ride with.
