Monthly Message for August 2010

Dear Members,

The summer heat continued into August this year.  Heat indices were above 100 and often above 105.  Riding all day long was brutal and dangerous.

Even with the heat, the Gateway Ducati Owners Group continued riding and meeting activities this month.  Our monthly meeting was held on August 3, 2010 at Nick and Elena's Pizzeria.  There were 12 people in attendance.  Joining us that evening were Pete Hall and Mark Oldham from Moto Europa, the new Ducati/Triumph dealer in St. Louis.  Pete emphasized that they are hoping to open the dealership in the middle of September.  They hope to build a European Motorsporting community in St. Louis that is as robust as the US motorcycle community.  They are looking forward to working with the club and believe they can assist us in obtaining factory recognition.

Monthly Message for July 2010

GDOG June 2010 Message


July has arrived in Missouri and with it the typical hot, humid weather that we have come 
to love at this time of year!

For those of you who are new to us, the group, as it is now organized, started with a 
meeting of 14 Ducatistas outside of my office in September 2009. We have a total of 48 
people signed up as members. This is a great success story as it stands, but it has only 
been for one year.  To prove to ourselves and others that we are the real deal, we need to 
continue finding new members, continue reaching out and supporting all of our area 
dealers and repair shops, continue supporting each other as we each try to improve as 
riders and people, continue to have monthly updates to the website, and continue the 
passion that is Ducati!  If we keep up the effort, greater success will occur!
