GWRRA Wisconsin Chapter G
Welcome Friends!!!!
Welcome to the Internet home of the Gold Wing Road Rider's Association (GWRRA) Wisconsin Chapter G, also known as "The Greater Milwaukee Wings!" We are a family organization based in the metropolitan Milwaukee Area. We have been in existence since 1983 and we are the largest GWRRA chapter in the state of Wisconsin. Besides our love of Gold Wings, we love to have fun. You will commonly see our members riding together and doing non-motorcycling events. We enjoy meeting new people and we accept new members with open arms. If you have a technical question, most likely someone in our group will be able to assist. Our activities range from safety fairs, weekend camping/hotel trips, winter getaways to fight those winter non-biking blues, hockey games, fundraisers, dinner rides, and the list goes on and on. So, put down the kickstand and take a ride through our pages. If you happen to be in the neighborhood on a social night, stop in, we'd love to see you.
SOCIALS
Socials are typically held on the last Sunday of each month. All Socials are at the Root River Center, 7220 W. Rawson Ave, Franklin (here is a link to a map). Refer to the Events page for specific dates and times.

Happy New Year to everyone! We welcome in the new

new year:

Sneezy, Freezy.
Chapter G held a New Years Eve Party on December 31. As in past years everyone
who attended brought a dish to pass. We held a White Elephant gift exchange,
which was a lot of fun. We put on our party hats, got our noise makers ready and
at 12:00, we brought in the New Year with lots of noise and lots of well
wishing. It was a wonderful evening and we would like to thank Terry & Anna
Werth for putting the party together and for inviting us into their home to
celebrate the New Year.
For those planning on attending, Wisconsin Wings WINGO will be held on January
16, 2010 at the Ixonia Firemen's Hall in Ixonia from 1pm to 4pm. A link to the

Harley Museum and dinner at Motor
Lynn Borkenhagen organized an event where19 people converged for an outing with
Chapter G at the Harley Museum in Milwaukee on Saturday January 9th. The
exhibits spanned from 1903 with a production of 3 motorcycles to currently
producing Harleys by the 1,000s. There were innovations that were never
produced, multi engine bikes, light bikes, chrome bikes, military bikes, and
bike bikes. There was information galore regarding the Harleys in the world
wars, women on motorcycles, and even an Elvis Harley. People got to sit on old
and new Harleys, got to design a cycle, got to watch videos on the history of
Harley, and sit at the kid’s area and sketch motorcycles. The collection
showed the progression and evolution of the Harley motorcycle, adaptations, and
variety.
After visiting the museum we went to the restaurant on grounds called “Motor”.
The meals were reasonable and a good variety of epicurean delights were enjoyed.
It was a nice easy 3 hours spent with friends, hope to see more at the next
event 2 wheeling or 4!!
