HUNDREDS of bikers donned their Sunday best in aid of Movember at the weekend as part of the Distinguished Gentleman's ride.
The charity fundraiser encourages motorcyclists to get dapper and hit the road on classic and vintage-style bikes, beginning at The Station in Newcastle East.
The global ride has been running in multiple locations for 12 years, with Newcastle on board since its inception. This year's Hunter event had already raised more than $32,000 by Sunday morning. Donations remain open.
