    Honda Gold Wing or other MC Touring Associations-- Do you Belong?

    This website is as close to a F6B "association" as could be accomplished with so few of us owners-- and this is a great website! And maybe I'll make it to the second annual meeting next summer. However, in the meantime I wonder if any of you also belong to other Gold Wing associations? Is there anything there for us? GWRRA or? I'm not generally much of a joiner and I don't really consider motorcycling a team sport, but like any hobby its always nice to keep up with trends, accessories, mods, maintenance issues, etc. Looks like some offer discounts, monthly magazines. What are your thoughts?

    I joined GWRRA but I'm not really sure why The stereo-typical member seems to be into vests, patches, pins, and riding two-up. Not that there's anything at all wrong with that but that is definitely NOT my thing. That said, I have gotten to know a local group of Wing riders that I meet just about every Wednesday morning for breakfast (including my good friend DeerSlayer) and they are an absolute hoot. Sometimes, we even go riding

    Once upon a time clubs were good for that, not anymore. Now we have the internet and Forums like this one to share information. No GWRRA for me.

    I use to belong to a local H.O.G Chapter. It was more about who you know. A good ride for the chapter would be less than 50 miles. I checked out a local GWRRA group as well. Good people, but they spend more time in meetings than riding.

    I to was a member of my local HOG chapter, in fact I was the founding president and served for two years. I equate it to trying to herd cats. After that I joined the GWRRA and soon figured out that it stood for Gold Wing Restaurant Raiders Association

    When I was riding my Victory Vision I was a member of the VMC and the Wolverine State MC..Both good clubs and I did attend some gatherings, but at almost 74 now,. those things are less important to me and I just enjoy riding by myself mostly and stopping when and where I want. Badges, pins, etc. are okay for those that want or like them, but I am no longer trying to impress anyone or anything with a bunch of stuff on my bike or riding gear....JMHO

    I'm still a member of my HOG chapter. I still ride with them too. I get some ribbing but it's no big deal, I know at the end of the day I'm not a slave to HD anymore.
