GDOG Members,

Pete Hall informed me after our meeting this evening that the Ducati Demo Truck will be at Motoeuropa this Sunday, 6/12, from 10 a.m to 5 p.m. The truck will be filled with 2011 Multistrada's and Diavel's ready for test rides. Hope to see you there; I can't wait to finally ride one of those Diavel's.

Monthly Message for April 2011

I am writing this note early in the evening of yet another dreary, rainy, April day.
 
As for motorcycle riding, this April has given us precious few days to go out and engage in our common activity.  Lack of riding has not kept the owners group from progressing on other fronts.

Monthly Message for March 2011

As I am writing this note, in late March, spring has broken out in East Central Missouri.  The temperatures are warming up, flowers are blooming, and rain is occasionally falling.  
 
The March Bike Night was held at on the 1st at the Triumph Grille. It was well attended, with some members riding in and others (me) driving their cars.  After a brief business meeting held during dinner, Mark Oldham from MotoEuropa gave a presentation on suspension settings.  The presentation was informative, useful, and well received.  Several of the attendees asked good questions and received thoughtful and helpful answers.

GDOG January 2011 and February 2011 Message


Happy February 13, 2011!


As I am writing this note, the sun is beginning to set on a very warm February day.
The riding weather since the 1st of the year has been atrocious. My last ride occurred
on January 29th when Raymond So telephoned me one afternoon and asked if I wanted
to ride. I asked for permission from the boss, was given the OK, and we headed out.
Raymond led us on an 80-mile ride, and we returned in one piece.
