" That ' s why we partnered with the world ' s largest men ' s health charity, ' Movember ', and with Triumph Motorcycles. " We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support of all our partners and enabling us to support men ' s health on a global scale, in supporting the critical causes of prostate cancer and men ' s mental health.

" As well as raising even more funds for research through our involvement, we hope to increase awareness and encourage men to talk more about their health, helping them seek timely advice and support. It ' s also a chance for all of us to simply enjoy some time together in May, bonding over our shared passion for vintage and modern classic motorcycles."
