GWRRA Chapter A2 - "Duck Wings" Friends for Fun, Safety, & Knowledge 
Home Event Calendar About Us Pictures Education Classifieds/Links
 
The Ann Arbor (A2) Chapter of the Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRRA) has been serving Southeastern Michigan motorcycle riders since 1994.

We are a diverse group of people that takes our motorcycling seriously with lots of camaraderie and special attention paid to fulfill our motto of:

 “Friends for Fun, Safety, and Knowledge.”

 

The Ann Arbor "A2" Chapter enjoys very active and spirited participation in events from its members.

It comes as no surprise then that the Chapter, and its members, receive recognition from time to time.

Most recently the Chapter won bragging rights at the Michigan District annual rally, when the Chapter's BRAG BOOK took first place honors.

On the right is Melissa (white shirt), the proud author of the book, receiving the award plaque from Chapter CD's Russ and "George" Peabody.

The Chapter also had four entries in the Top Gun contest, with both Don and Bruce winning awards. Here Bruce is being presented with his 1st Place award in Expert class on the GL1800.

 

At the Region D Rally in Marshall, Bruce and Don were both winners again in the Top Gun exercises. Here Don receives his 1st place Experienced Rider award in the GL1500 class.

 

Over the years the Chapter has accumulated a number of awards including:
