How the day started
Sunās up, engineās cold, and the planās already in motion šļø
Today the Siziba came out for a spin. For those who donāt know, the Siziba is the traditional Lozi outfit from Western Zambia - bold, handwoven, and made for standing out. Itās riding with me on the ZX1400, heading to the DGR 2026 event in Perth. Bit of Zambian heritage meeting Kawasaki raw power on the streets of Perth. Canāt think of a better way to do it.
Quick nod to why weāre all suited up: The Distinguished Gentlemanās Ride started in 2012 in Sydney as a tongue-in-cheek protest against the bland image of motorcyclists. Guys dressed in dapper suits and rode classic and vintage-style bikes to raise money and awareness for menās mental health and prostate cancer. What began with 2,500 riders in 64 cities is now a global event with over 100,000 riders across 100+ countries every year.
All dressed up, raising funds, and breaking the stigma one ride at a time.
See you out there, Perth. Ride safe and ride dapper āļø
