re: 2005 Goldwing raffle at District Rally.

I was wondering if there is a picture of the raffle bike posted on the website? Or, could we have one posted? I'd like to print the picture to show to perspective ticket buyers.

Dan,

A photo of the bike is available on the website. It can be seen by selecting the District Rally Logo on the home page of the District Website at www.gwrra-mi.org.

Hope to see you at the rally,

Ric,

I was just wondering if there was a age limit for going GWRRA. My wife and I are 32 years old and own a 84 1200A goldwing and we are very interested. Thank you, Bryan Schlipp Sr.

Hi Bryan,

 

It's great that you and your wife are interested in joining up with GWRRA. There are no age restrictions to be a member of the organization.

 

If you let me know where you live I can get you in touch with a chapter director in that area and they will be glad to provide you with all the information about the organization and answer any questions you might have.

 

You can also find a chapter in your area my selecting the map of Michigan or the District Sections button on the home page of the district website. The map is broken up into sections of the state. By selecting the area you live in it will list the chapter closest to your home town.

 

Thanks for your interest,

What's This Camping Fee For The Michigan Rally in 2006. We Never Had To Pay This before. Thank you For Your Time

Hi Gary, 

The $5 fee is to help cover some the additional expense at the fairground this year such as an increase in the cost of the electricity. The Indiana and Ohio rally in addition to the Region rally do have an additional charge for the campers. You can contact Chris and Sally Bobek if you have any additional questions.

My brother-in-law and I (Valkyrie riders) are planning a June motorcycle trip to the upper peninsula in mid-June. We have never been to Michigan and the Great Lakes area before. Can you provide any advice on definite places to see, places to avoid, suggested roads and sites, etc.

We are currently planning to ride up the shore (Rt 23) from Bay City to Mackinaw City to the U.P. We want to tour the U.P. and anticipate an overnight in Marquette before returning through Menominee into Wisconsin for the trip home to East Tennessee.

Thanks !

Hi Ron, 

Contact Rusty and Ann Atherton, they are the Chapter Directors of Chapter M which is located in Marquette. I'm sure they will be glad to provide you with any information you may need. Their email and phone number can be gotten by selecting the Chapter Index button at the top of any page on the Michigan District Website and selecting Chapter M.

Enjoy your trip,

I have sold all my parts from my trike conversion, please remove my ad. How do I go about stopping the add in the Michigan Wing News and the Wing World. Thanks

Dan

Hi Dan, 

Your ad has been removed. In the future it would be best to send me an email to let me know that an ad needs to be removed from the website, it would be done more quickly. Your ad will automatically be removed from the next issue of the Michigan Wing News as these ads are taken from the district website. You will have to contact the national office to have your ad removed from Wing World.
