We are the Roadrunners, friends for fun, safety and knowledge!
Welcome to Chapter G2 of the Gold Wing Road Riders Association,
based out of Greenville, Texas. We cordially invite you to join
us for adventures, fun, lots of great dining experiences, long
enduring friendships, camaraderie, safe riding and education.
There are no Chapter dues that are paid by our members, we will
sometimes have raffles, rallies, that help fund the chapter's
needs, but there is no requirement to participate. We even have
no requirements to ride a Goldwing. We have chapter members who
ride Harleys, Can-Ams, Victories, or even other Honda types.
We ride most weekends, and a couple of times a month on
weekdays. Our rides range from the east Texas piney woods to
The Colorado Rockies to Niagara Falls. Some ride trikes, and we have one side car, but
most are two wheeled GL1800s. Some members still work, some are
retirees, some are in their 40s, and some are in their 70s. Our
riding experience ranges from under a year to 40+ years.
Chapter G2 is family friendly. We enjoy good, clean fun.
There's nothing going on that would embarrass you in
front of your kids or mother. Together, as friends and like
minded chapter mates, we share, we ride (and eat) our way across
the back roads of this great state and country.
Here at G2 we wear helmets and practice safe riding habits. Most
have CB radios, many carry first aid kits, are First Aid/CPR
certified and take the Experienced Rider Course on a regular
basis to keep riding skills honed and Master Rider Levels
current. We attend chapter, district, regional and national
rallies, participating in as many safety seminars as we can fit
in. Join us by taking the
GWRRA pledge to be the best and safest rider you can be by going
through the Level Steps, educating yourself and riding safely to
attain the Master Rider Level.
We gather on the first Tuesday of every month at "The Buffet
Palace" in Greenville, TX. and on the third Tuesday at
Napoli's in Wylie at 6 pm to eat and
socialize, and the meeting starts at 7 pm. Don't let the
word “meeting” turn you off. We take care of business, but
we laugh, bond, have door prizes, raffle off a home made
cheesecake, talk about and plan upcoming events, rallies and
rides, share war stories/ experiences, share technical
issues and have a great time. One of the very best perks of
being a G2 member is the camaraderie you will find by
participating with people who share your values and love of
motorcycling. Once you participate, your social life
(and waist) will never be the same. We do love to socialize
around the table, and have some wonderful cooks amongst us.
We are a small chapter with about thirty active members and
sixty on the books. Even though we are Greenville based, very few members
actually live in Greenville. Some ride 30-45 minutes to
participate, and that will be the case with most small town
chapters.
If you'd like to check out more about GWRRA or actually see what
chapter life is about for yourself, please go to www.gwrra.org
for the national web page or www.gwrra-tx.org to view the Texas
District web page. You can find all the web sites in chapters
across Texas on the District site. Click on friends, then
chapters/CDs. Click on the chapter letter and it will pull up
their web page. Did you notice all the smiling faces and
beautiful motorcycles associated with chapter riding?
Belonging to a G2 is like having an extended family. Bonds
are forged, lifelong friendships are made. A simple ride
becomes an adventure. You can cut the camaraderie with a
knife it's so thick, and your chapter mates are there for
you. One of our members was in St Louis when his bike broke
down. He called a chapter mate. The chapter mate stopped
what he was doing, got a trailer and drove straight to St
Louis, brought the stranded couple home and wouldn't take a
dime for his effort. That's the caliber of friendship in G2.
This is one story of many.
We are pleased you stopped by and hope you will come ride
with us! Whether you're new to the area, new to riding, just
looking for someone to ride with or are new to GWRRA we're
looking forward to meeting, riding and sharing some great
times with you!
