Friends for Fun, Safety, and Knowledge - That's GWRRA
The Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRRA) is the world's
largest single-marque social organization for owners and riders of
Honda Gold Wing/Valkyrie motorcycles -- and some would say, the
world's largest family. Dedicated to our motto, Friends for Fun,
Safety and Knowledge, GWRRA members enjoy the freedom of belonging
to a not-for-profit, non-religious and non-political organization.
Founded in 1977, GWRRA has grown to more than 80,000 U.S.,
Canadian and international members in 53 foreign countries in just
32 years. Over 800 active Chapters are managed by 4,000 volunteer
leaders working with members to foster safe, enjoyable riding while
also working to improve the public image of motorcycling.
