Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men. Movember is the largest funder of prostate cancer programs in the world.
What is prostate cancer?
The prostate is a gland located immediately below the bladder, in front of the bowels. It produces fluid that protects and enriches sperm. Prostate cancer occurs when some of the cells in the prostate reproduce far more rapidly than normal, resulting in a tumour. If left untreated, prostate cancer cells may eventually spread from the prostate and invade distant parts of the body, particularly the lymph nodes and bones, producing secondary tumours in a process known as metastasis.
One of the most worrying aspects of the disease is that most prostate cancers develop without men experiencing any symptoms in the early stages.
What are the risk factors for prostate cancer?
Prostate cancer only affects men, as women do not have a prostate gland. Risk factors in developing the disease include:
Age: The older a man, the more likely he is to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. If you’re 50 or over, chat with your doctor about PSA testing.
Family History: A man with a father or brother who developed prostate cancer is twice as likely to develop the disease. If you’re 45 or over and prostate cancer is in your family, you should strike up the conversation about PSA testing with your doctor.
Ethnicity: Prostate cancer has an increased occurrence in men of African and Afro-Caribbean descent. If you’re 45 or over, get in contact with your doctor about PSA testing.

Suicide Prevention | Men’s Mental Health
3 out of 4 suicides are men
510,000 men die from suicide globally each year. That’s one every minute. This has to change.
The causes of suicide are complex. There’s no single reason why men take their own lives, but we do know that by improving overall mental health we can reduce the risk of suicide. We need to address untreated mental health conditions among men.
Too many men are toughing it out and struggling alone. There’s no shame in checking in your own mental wellbeing, and those close to around you. Our friends over at Movember have produced some handy guides, that might help take the sting out of broaching the subject.
Together, The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride and Movember are breaking down these barriers that exist in men, but we need your help.
Thanks for watching! See you soon.
The Captain.

Looked like a great route and weather to match. Very nice attire Sir.
Wish I had been paying more attention and realised the DGR was here once again and come along as Leicester isn't too far for me to ride. However seeing so many idiots riding so dangerously overtaking fast on blind bends would have meant I would have had a meltdown or had to stop. I don't like riding in groups at the best of times but not least with selfish tossers like those we saw in your video. No excuse for that sort of riding. Apart from this it looked a really rather fantastic day.
The Triumph factory is a must see although I want to visit when it re-opens after their re-organisation this summer when I believe they will start building more of their models back in Hinckley.
More Capt. Rumbunctious videos please.
Donated as well.
Nice job fellas. I know use to have a Trusty Thruxton R and I'm coming up to my sixth year of ownership on my 2016. Proud to say rhe Thruxton R hit 151 mph at Bonneville Salt Flats in August 2021.
I knew you would appreciate still flying the flag.👍
Thoroughly marvellous! 🙂
Wish I'd known you were visiting the Triumph factory…have a few parts on order that are keeping my sidekick Speed Twin 'Baldrick' off the road down here in Oz… Waiting since mid Dec 2021. Oh bother. Give 'em a kick for me, please. Until then, I'll just have to ride vicariously with you it seems. Thanks for the chuckles and riding for just causes yet again!
Looked like a very well attended event, and fun hearing you critique the sumo chap! 😀 hahaha
Well done all. I was due to do the ride that was local to me down here in Cornwall, but rather ironically I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February and had surgery ( a robotic radical prostatectomy) on 28th April, meaning that I was unable to take part in the ride. Hopefully be back on the bike soon. It is so worth getting checked – I had no real symptoms and mine was detected through PSA testing , MRI and biopsy. Follow up consultation is on 1st July when I'll learn more about outcome of the surgery – fingers crossed they've got it all. This is such a worthy cause. Glad you all had a great day.
Great to see you again good Sir!!! Great video and great ride. I hope all is well with you Sir! I'm waiting for my new Tiger GT Explorer to come in here in the states. Supposed to be here this month.
Cheers

Good show Captain. We had our DGR today in Coffs Harbour, Australia. I'm looking forward to next year.
Great day…. My Norton at 1.27 ….
Another excellent video Captain! More power to the mighty DGR! Just a pity about the young lad in front of you. A few of you should have boxed him in and had a quiet word in his ear! Must visit the Triumph factory one day. Great to see they're bringing some production back to the UK. Best Wishes.
