Default Moto Europa St. Louis

All,

I had to go up to St.Louis today to visit my Chesterfield office and had some time to kill. I decided to go pay the guys at MOTO Europa a visit. They were instrumental in helping get my Ducati tank issue resolved. There shop is top notch. They carry a good amount of Ducati, Triumph and KTM bikes as well as a decent stock of gear. The service guy was great. Needed some oil and filter for the Streetfighter. I was floored by what I found at the back of the shop. They have a full blown NICE reasturant and bar along with a huge bike meseum. I would guess 15,000 sq. Ft with over 30 bikes. They do a good amount of bike nights and weekend events. I will be up there for sure next year. Here are some pics.

I just may have put my deposit down for this while I was there. Guess you all will have to wait for the April Tricolre release date to find out!

That's a nice place. How does one find their place? I would like to drool over those in person. That 1199 is sexy. Just like most of the pics you took.

Pretty simple to find. Take 40/61 to exit 37A (Market St.) Hang a left on Compton then a left on Locust. It is about 500 yards up on the left.

I was only there for a short while. Probably took pictures of 1/3 of the bikes.

Desmo and I spent a part of an afternoon there. Pretty cool place and if you have some time to kill in StL.

That little red Maserati is probably my favorite. I've ogled over it twice, now. When I saw you were posting pics of the museum I was hoping you would include a picture of it...you posted two good ones (three total)!

I've been up there twice; once to drop the 999 off for service with Pegasus, and once to pick it up with the other Alan. The Gateway Ducati Owners Club has their monthly meetings there at the Triumph Grill. Their food is pretty darned good, all the moto stuff adorning the walls is pretty cool, and so is the moto-themed menu.

Lots of cool stuff. Im partial to the sidecar, so oldschool i just think it would both be hillarious and practical to drive one around.

I wanna put my dog in there.
