Gold Wing Riders Association and Wing Ding
With a name like Wing Ding, who isn't going to have fun at the Gold Wing Riders Association annual meeting? This year's event has already happened and next year's, 32nd Wing Ding will be in Des Moines, Iowa from June 30th to July 3rd 2010 at the Iowa Events Centre. I thought 32nd annual meeting means this is one of the longest running and oldest Gold Wing Associations!
And it is... the GWRRA (Gold Wing Road Riders Association) was founded in 1977, just two years after the first Honda Gold Wing motorcycle came out in 1975. The GWRRA is an International association with more than 80,000 U.S., Canadian and international members in 53 foreign countries. There are over 800 active Chapters managed by 4,000 volunteer leaders working with members to foster safe, enjoyable riding while also working to improve the public image of motorcycling.
That's a lot of Honda Gold Wing Riders and a whole lot of fun at the Wing Ding!
