Well it's that time again, Gateway Chapters monthly meeting is this Saturday, December 17th. 
We will be meeting at the Ponderosa at Highway 30 and Doloras Drive, about 2 miles south of
141 off of Highway 30 (Gravois Road).  At the stoplight turn left you can't, or at least I hope,
miss it.

Hope everyone can get there around 11, we don't have anything setup with them as for as our
meeting there thought we would all just show up, have a little lunch and have our meeting.  Gay
has already told me that we are going to have to START our Christmas shopping so I guess
you all can tell what i will be doing after the meeting.

We need to have nominations for at the least the Directors position for the chapter and discuss
further what we would like to do as a chapter.  I know this is only a week before Christmas and I
realize that some of you may have other plans, but I hope you will do your best and try to
attend the meeting.

If you know of anyone that already is a member of BTW or anyone interested in Trikes, Bikes or
Triking please bring them along everyone is welcome.

Hope to see everyone this Saturday and if not may I be one of the first to wish you a Safe and
Happy Holiday Season.

will strip it of all "personal identification", I know of a bridge in Brooklyn

Missouri approves tracking cell phones for real-time traffic data

GARANCE BURKE

Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Missouri transportation officials approved a controversial
contract Friday that will allow a private corporation to track signals from
motorists' cell phones to map traffic snarls and highway congestion on major
roads throughout the state.

As early as next week, that company, the National Engineering Technology Corp.
(NET), will start monitoring thousands of cell phones in Kansas City and St.
Louis, using their movements to test how to relay traffic conditions to the
public in real time.

While officials say the program will make Missouri a national leader in
"intelligent" traffic management, privacy advocates are concerned that getting
more frequent travel time updates on road signs and Web sites may come at a
price.

"This is a leap forward in our nation," said Missouri Department of
Transportation Director Pete Rahn, minutes before the Highways and
Transportation Commission's unanimous vote to authorize the contract. "No
other department of transportation will be able to keep the users of their
system as well informed."

The program charts drivers' relative speed by measuring the time between the
intermittent signals cell phones send to towers along a stretch of road. Then,
that information - stripped of the personal identification and serial numbers
that identify the cell phone's owner - is overlaid with highway maps to
determine where the phones are and how fast they are moving.

In six months, transportation officials say, Missouri motorists will be able
to calculate their commute times by viewing such maps on the government's Web
sites. Distilled versions of the information will also be displayed on
electronic road signs along major highways, they said.

Cell phone monitoring already is being used by transportation officials in
Baltimore, though not yet to relay traffic conditions to the public. Similar
projects are getting under way in Norfolk, Va., and a stretch of Interstate 75
between Atlanta and Macon, Ga.

But monitoring phone signals along Missouri's 5,500 miles of major roads, many
of which run through rural areas where cell phone coverage is spotty, makes
for an additional challenge. On Friday, state officials had not determined
which cell phone companies would provide information for the program.

That raised eyebrows at the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC).

"Consumers should have the right to opt into this public service," said Lillie
Coney, associate director of Washington, D.C.-based EPIC. "Missouri may be
creating a base for a new industry on the shoulders of the taxpayers."

Don Hillis, the director of system management for the Department of
Transportation, said the state explored other options to provide the traffic
flow information that motorists and logistics planners now expect and decided
that wireless data collection was the cheapest way to go.

"We'll be able to give our drivers traffic information throughout their
trips," said Hillis, who has overseen the project since its inception. "That
said, we recognize the importance of the privacy issue, and we wouldn't do
business with any company that would take any steps in the future to infringe
on those rights."

Hillis said regional planning commissions like the Mid-America Regional
Council and the East-West Gateway Council of Governments will also have free
access to the data to tackle congestion problems.

And as wireless technology evolves, Missouri officials believe there may be so
much interest from users outside the government - such as trucking companies,
satellite radio, mobile phones and GPS devices - that their investment could
pay for itself.

Under the terms of the $6.2 million, two-year contract, NET will wholly own
the information and is free to sell it to outside vendors that could profit
from offering just-in-time travel updates. The government has no authority to
monitor where the information ends up, but Hillis said that after two years,
the state may enter a revenue-sharing agreement with NET.

"If you travel on a certain route every day, we'll eventually be able to give
you alerts to see if an instance would keep you from getting to work on time,"
said Steven McDonald, a senior project manager for NET. "This has a lot of
potential."

Lil Bit and I adopted some soldiers over in Iraq and with the help of
a local stunt biker group we are sending some goodies over to them.
Well I wanted to let you know that one of the boxes that Lil Bit and I
sent over was on behalf of the Gateway Chapter of the Brothers of the
Third Wheel. With any luck, around January, the girls will send a
picture back holding a Gateway Chapter Banner complete with the BTW
logo somewhere in Iraq!

Now that's something that our little clan can be damn proud of!!!!

We may be small but we're mighty!

My only comment on the meetings is; I was and am happy that two of my
clubs are on the same Saturday of the month. I would like to plan for
all bike events on one day. With the addition of a seperate date, that
just adds another factor in andthe chance of not being able to make
it. (Just MHO) Has anyone else discussed the idea of havng the
meetings on the same day but at a different time? Or has that idea not
even been considered?

I haven't got to throw my three cents in here yet and mess up the
wheels. so here they are.,.,., And does that mean the meeting is next
Saturday this Month??

crazy

OK I'm primed and ready for your jokes. I am going to build one of
those front wheel drive donor car trikes. It's all I can afford and I
have lots of time.

I went on one of my governemtn auctions and purchased a 1994 Saturn LS
4 cyl for only $125.00! The rear end is wrecked but who needs that!

I am getting it towed back to the house via tow dolly after the
Thanksgiving Holiday. Then the fun begins.

I am selling my Goldwing to finance this project. Anyone know someone
who wants a 1981 Goldwing GL1100 for $1800.00?

Deacon

Sorry it has taken me so long to welcome everyone that has joined the newly
reformed BTW
Gateway Chapter web-site, but as some of you know I have been a little busy
trying to get
things taken care of.  Tiny and Lizard stop by my office yesterday (Tuesday) and
dropped off
the BTW items that Tiny had, including our Charter.  I wrote Tiny a check for
half of the bank
account, so that concludes that.

To the new people that I haven't met yet, I look forward to doing so at our
meeting next month, I
hope you can make it.  To those of you who I already know, I look forward to
continuing our
friendship and in some cases renewing our friendship from the past.

I have a place in mind for next months meeting, and when I can give everyone
exact directions I
will post them here.  We are moving our meeting place back to the Missouri side
of the river.
Most of our members are from Missouri and I think it only makes sense to be
located in
Missouri.

Also we are going to change our meeting date to the third Saturday of the month.
We are doing
this because some people have expressed a desire to me to be part of Gateway
Chapter
and the River Rats.  So by having our meetings on the third Saturday there will
be no conflict.
Again let me say that ANYONE and EVERYONE is welcome to join the Gateway Chapter
BTW.  The only requirement is that you are a BTW member.

The BTW office along with Jerry, the State Director have been very supportive in
our efforts to
keep the Chapter going, and for this I am very thankful.  I can't count the
number of emails that
we have sent back and forth trying to get everything worked out.  With ALL of
use working
together we will get through this and be better for it.

OK, at the December meeting the one thing we will need to do is to elect a
Director for the
Chapter.  I have taken the position as Interim right now just so we had a person
to keep it going.
Nominations for the position will be taken at the next meeting and voting will
be at the January
meeting.  According to BTW the ONLY officer we need is Director, but I think
maybe a
Assistant Director and Sec./Tres. would be helpful also.  So everyone have their
ideas on who
they would like to see nominated for these positions.

Well, I have talked your ears off enough, you know me once I get started I can't
stop, but I
wanted to let everyone know what was going on.

Until December, have a Good and Happy Thanksgiving all.

Howard "Crash"

PS - A couple of personal notes.

Kathy - Please help Elvis get on this site, he is still having problems.

Deacon  - Glad to hear that everything is going well for you.  Hope you can make
the next
                   meeting.

Dan - I see you live in Afton, I hope you will come to the meetings, this is a
great bunch of
           people.

And to Everyone - If you know of anyone who might be interested in joining,
please bring them
                                   to the next meeting.

Again - Keep It Free On Three - everyone

Hello folks,

My name is Deacon for those that don't know. I am a former member of
the Gateway Chapter that had a parting of ways that was a little
rough. I have put all that behind me and hope everyone else can too.
I respect Crash for keeping the Chapter alive and will do whatever I
can to help.

I have gone through alot in the past year, after loosing my temper
for the millionth time and alienating myself from my wife, my family
and several groups including the BTW I went to get a check up and
find out why my temper had gotten so bad. I found out I had a
golfball sized tumor in my head and had it removed.

Things have been golden since, no more temper and everything is so so
much easier.

I hope those who were in the group when I was at my worst can forgive
my comments and actions and give me a second chance.

God Bless
Deacon

I respect Crash for keeping the Chapter alive and will do whatever I

I have gone through alot in the past year, after loosing my temper
for the millionth time and alienating myself from my wife, my family
and several groups including the BTW I went to get a check up and
find out why my temper had gotten so bad. I found out I had a
golfball sized tumor in my head and had it removed.

Things have been golden since, no more temper and everything is so so

Thanks for letting me join up. You had to OK my membership, which I
thought was good to keep the chaff out. Why don't you guys have to
have a completed profile to join? One guy is NUNYA for everything,
another is brothersofthethirdwheel, WHAT' UP WIT DAT? I wanna know
whoand where everyone is at please
Bikin Fool

Crash, I want to personally thank you for stepping up to the plate and
taking over the Chapter in the St. Louis area. I really hated to see
it die out as I have to believe there are a lot of trikers in St.
Louis. I know that you will do a great job helping pull them together.
If there is any way we can help, you know where we are.
Jim

Hello Howard,

Please take off that post ozatkmtnpaw, it should have been ozarkmtnpaw,
but I messed it up so please remove it. Okay! Your going to have a nice
site here so keep up with the good work. I'll stay with
ozarkmtntrikers, being it works. Hee! Hee! If I can be of any help just
