The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride unites classic and vintage style motorcycle riders all over the world to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health. The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia, by Mark Hawwa. It was inspired by a photo of TV Show Mad Men’s Don Draper astride a classic bike and wearing his finest suit. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way of connecting niche motorcycle enthusiasts and communities while raising funds to support the men in our lives. NYC topped the world in fundraising in 2019 and 2022.

In rapidly industrializing post-war Japan, returning soldiers and disillusioned youth turned to thundering motorbikes as sources of identity, camaraderie, and adrenaline. By the 1970s, bosozoku gangs had become a fully formed subculture based around customized bikes, violent clashes with authority, and outlandish and often transgressive fashion that took cues from Imperial Japan, kamikaze pilot uniforms, hippies, and American greasers.

It’s no surprise that Japan produced some of the very best motorcycle cinema, arguably surpassing the American post-EASY RIDER biker flick boom in both quantity and quality. Featuring iconic bikes from Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Suzuki, the bosozoku films are anarchic pop-art gems that reflect the mash-up of cultural symbols and sensibilities revving through the motorcycle subculture. For Bosozoku Beach, Screen Slate and Rockaway Film Festival invite you to join us for three of the very best: Mitsuo Yanagimachi’s visceral gang documentary GOD SPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR, the motogirl classic STRAY CAT ROCK: DELINQUENT GIRL BOSS, and HOUSE director Nobuhiko Obayahshi’s high-speed romance HIS MOTORBIKE, HER ISLAND. Show up on two wheels for half-priced admission.

Programmed and presented by @screenslate, Andrea Torres @sadnessvarda, and @rockawayfilmfest. Flyer by @steakmtn.

Hosted by the NYC Punishers Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club for the Forest Hills Volunteer Ambulance Corps, this Motorcycle Ride is an NYC permitted PARADE in remembrance on the 23nd Anniversary of those who served, protected, volunteered and lost their lives that tragic day. All bikes welcome! Sport bikes, foreign & domestic bikes, trikes, side cars, choppers, home-made bikes, and anything that would require a DOT Motorcycle license. On 9/11 one of those lost was Richard Allen Pearlman, the youngest first responder who died that day. He joined the Forest Hills Ambulance Corps at the age of 14, and as a Junior Corps member he excelled in the position of Dispatcher. At 18 he joined the Senior Corps. Richie headed to the WTC on foot from his job at a law firm and was ordered back to his job by his employer for safety reasons, but remained at the WTC site. A picture on pages 16-17 in Newsweek's Extra Edition of America Under Attack shows Richie aiding the injured. He was only 18 years old. We have named the ride in his honor, "Run For Richie". SAVE THE DATE ... Details to be announced soon.
