May 25th Meeting at The Back Nine Addison, TX
by Jay Tynes

Our May 25th, 2025 Meeting was held at The Back Nine in Addison, Texas.

A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to long time club member / volunteer extraordinaire Randy Bauer for setting up the meeting and organizing the bike show.

Club President Richard Bowman began the meeting by saying hello to our guests and new members. He then passed it over to Club VP Jay Tynes to give an update on the past weekend's Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. This was the first year that Fort Worth had its own ride separate from Dallas. The Fort Worth team raised $11K year one (Go Fort Worth!) For those who don’t know about the DGR it’s a charity ride on British and European motorcycles (although all bikes are welcome) where the participates “ride dapper” many wearing suits, tweed vest, etc. Back in 2014 this started off as a humble ride for folks who like European motorcycles to raise money for prostate cancer / men’s health medical research. Fast forward to 2025 there were 1038 cities that hosted rides worldwide, with over 126,000 riders raising a total of $7.3 Million Dollars! Cheers to everyone who participated and donated.

Following those updates, we moved on discussing raffle bike sales. Anyone who has connections to the North Texas Moto Guzzi community please reach out to the club officers. We need to share the beautiful Guzzi raffle bike info with them.

Next, Our 2025 LOP Rallye Chairman, Jeff Myers gave us an update on all things LOP. This year the LOP dates are October 9th-12th. As a reminder you can now book your LOP campsites / RV sites since we are booking direct on the Yellow Rose Canyon website. LOP registration will be available on the NTNOA website soon. If you have any LOP questions / ideas / or would like to volunteer, please contact Jeff.

Following LOP updates it was announced that several club members will be attending the INOA Rally in Quincy, CA, as part of this year’s Epic Ride on June 14th-22nd.
