Asheville hosts Wings Over the Smokies this Weekend

Sept 23 - 25  Wings Over the Smokies - Honda Goldwing Rally  The event draws riders and exhibitors from across the country. Come for the Gold Wing fellowship and also experience some of the best and most beautiful scenic rides you'll ever find. The Event will be located at the Western Agricultural Center in Fletcher (Suburb of Asheville) NC.

The Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRRA) is a non-profit international organization based in Phoenix, AZ. With more than 70,000 members in all 50 states and over 45 foreign countries, GWRRA was chartered in 1977 to provide an avenue for mutual enjoyment of the American-made Honda Gold Wing motorcycle. Membership is not limited to only Gold Wing owners. In fact, some of our more active participants, as members are called, do not even own a motorcycle. They just enjoy being around them, and the people who do ride. Participants tend to be in the 40+ age bracket, and are not members of any one Chapter, rather, they are participants in all Chapters.
