10 Best-Dressed Harley Riders at the 2016 DGR
This year, Harley riders put on their best threads to help fight prostate cancer and raise money for suicide prevention. Let's looks at some of the best dressed riders at the Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride, as found on Instagram.
1. IG Motorcycles - Rotterdam, Netherlands
This feed comes out of the Netherlands, loaded with custom bikes of every style. The man behind the IG_Motorcycles account rides a kickstart-only, hard tail Harley-Davidson, which surely turned a lot of heads in the land of wooden shoes and windmills. I particularly like the shot of himself in the rear view mirror.

2. Jules Jungle - Udine, Italy
From northern Italy, near the border of Slovenia, comes the jules_jungle account of photographer Jules. Not certain if she owns a bike of her own, but her friend has a Harley, and that green chopper next to it is awesome as well. If you haven't done this ride in the town near you, get your best suit pressed and your bike shined up to join next September.

3. Sylvio Schoenberg - Itajai, SC, Brazil
Even sitting here in Los Angeles, looking at these Instagram photos, is making me want to travel to the Mediterranean or the home of the SylvioArt account, the southern part of Brazil. Sylvio Schoenberg lives on the coast in the city of Itajai and rides a heavily customized Sportster. He is an artist, and his work would not be out of place in Southern California.

4. Mar Solis 2 - Malaga, Spain
The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride happens all over the world, and many riders ride Harleys. Details are scarce on MarSolis2's Instagram account, but this ride was in Europe on the southern coast of Spain. Looking at some of his pictures is enough to get you checking your bank account and pricing tickets to Europe and bike rentals. Note: Eagle Rider rents bikes in Madrid as well as five locations in Portugal.

5. Ed Stow - Cambridge, UK
Ed Stow is a big Harley fan in Cambridge, England, and is actually one of the organizers of the Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride there. Click over to the EdStow account and you'll see plenty of classic and custom bikes, including lots of British iron. Of course, the old fellow in tweed is not Ed, but he is certainly dapper; check out that Springer Softail he rides.

6. Mystery Man - Stuttgart, Germany
This hardcore looking dude was spotted riding his Harley chopper on the Distinguished Gentlemen's ride in Stuttgart, Germany, where you would expect to find more BMWs and Porsches than cruisers. Unfortunately, we don't know who he is or exactly what his bike is. The picture is pulled from the main DGR account, credited to Stefan Eisele of the Southside Roadabillies. He also popped up in the background of a picture on the account of JensiKraft.

7. Leo Alvarez - Jalisco, Mexico
Harley-Davidson is just as popular south of the border as it is in its home country. Leo Alvarez, on his pichicuas account, cruises all over our neighbor to the south on his customized Sportster. Alvarez and his girl enjoy the old school look of 1950s culture and can often be seen with slicked back hair and rockabilly styles.

8. Xavier - Portland, OR, USA
Sure, this isn't technically a Harley— it's a Buell — but Xavier and his bike look like they are all set to launch a new spy movie franchise. Every Buell, except maybe the Blast, is awesome if you love torque, the sound of a V-twin, and carving corners. We don't really know much about this rider, but he appears on the JennaVGenio and DaemonExMachina accounts, shot by Jenna at the Portland ride.

9. Rhys - Bournemouth, UK
The Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride has gotten so popular that they even have rides in small seaside towns you have never heard of like Bournemouth, England. Rhys rides a Sportster and tickers on it as well, making it his own unique style — black and sinister with a bikini fairing. You can check out what he and his friends are up to on r_jenks_.

10. Dapper Dutch Gentlemen - Enschede, Netherlands
These two dapper dudes were shot by photographer suus_anne on the Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride in Eschede, Netherlands. We don't know anything about them, but I dig their pre-war flathead Harley-Davidsons. Not sure I want to ride in a wool tweed three-piece suit, but I would kill to have a pair of those knee-high leather boots.
