I read where July is the end of the Gold Wing Road Rider's Association. They at one time had > 80,000 members and have been around about 45 years. I surely don't want that to happen here.
GMC’s off-road Sierra gets AEV kit, Chicago wants to host NASCAR, Gold Wing Road Riders Association shuts down - Hagerty Media
Intake: Formed in 1977, the Gold Wing Road Riders Association spanned 53 countries with nearly 80,000 members at its peak, but sadly the group will dissolve this fall. Operating under the motto “Friends for Fun, Safety and Knowledge,” it was a huge group of riders dedicated to the famous (infamous?) Honda touring bike. The official last day for the club will be July 31 and current members are able to get a prorated refund for any prepaid memberships.
Exhaust: Groups like GWRRA are an amazing resource for new and seasoned riders alike. Running a large club like this takes a big effort from those who take on the mantle, though, and that means the closing of the group may come as no surprise to some. With any luck a similar group will form, or many small clubs will spin off. Even if that doesn’t happen, those who connected and rode together as part of GWRRA will always have the miles spent on the road to remember. — Kyle Smith
