Monthly Message for September 2011

Happy Fall to all members of the Gateway Ducati Owners Group!
 
September was a tough riding month for our membership.  Our monthly bike night was cancelled due to its proximity to the Labor Day weekend.  Our monthly bike ride was initially delayed by the Labor Day weekend, then delayed by rain, and was finally completed on the 17th with just two members, Joe Henderson and Raymond So.

Monthly Message for August 2011

Hi Folks,

The month of August has seen moderating temperatures in the Gateway area. Riding conditions have improved. Members of the Gateway Ducati Owners Group have been taking advantage of the lower temperatures and we are out on our motorcycles!
Before recounting the month’s events, some important information must be transmitted.

The September Bike Night is cancelled since it is the day after Labor Day. Also, the September group ride will be held on Saturday, September 10, 2011 rather than on the 3rd. The rain date is the 17th. Elections for GDOG officers will be held at the Bike Night on October 4, 2011. Only active members can vote for officers. Active members are those who have paid their $20.00 annual dues. Also, payment can be received as of the beginning of the October Bike Night in order to be an active member. If you are unsure of your status, please email me at president@gatewayducati.com.

Monthly Message for July 2011

Hi Folks,
 
This is a very long message, please read to the very end.
 
July weather has proved great for motorcycle riding, if one doesn’t mind triple digit heat indexes.
 
On the 2nd, the owners group started out with a ride to Bixby.  There was a brief pre-ride briefing describing our destination and the chosen route.  We left the starting point at 9AM with a total of 9 motorcycles.  Vito led the ride and kept a spirited pace.  The group split into 2 groups- fast and very fast.  At our turn to Potosi off of MO21, we lost 2 riders.  One headed back; the other met us in Bixby.  We returned from Bixby after eating.  All riders returned in one piece.
