Triumph has announced the winner of its "Gentlefolk Prize," tied to the charity event the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR). Michael Swanwick won the special-edition Speed Twin 1200 Café Racer DGR Edition.
DGR isn't just a bike event. Wearing tweed, swinging a leg over a classic, cruising through the city -- that whole aesthetic is the message itself. A cafe-racer-spec Speed Twin 1200 as the prize fits that worldview perfectly. I love that a builder's aesthetic and a social conscience coexist here.

DGR has this image of being a gentlemen's motorcycle event, but there's even a special award like this.
Where does the Gentlefolk Prize actually rank within DGR?
Probably a selection process that factors in things like fundraising contribution and style points.
Curious what the entry requirements and odds actually were for the drawing.
A café-racer-spec Speed Twin 1200 — whoever won it must be thrilled.
A special prize tied to a charity event like DGR feels like a genuinely tasteful move by the brand.
