During the 1960s, Honda created an innovative marketing campaign for their motorcycles, using the slogan "You meet the nicest people on a Honda." In contrast to the prevailing negative stereotypes of motorcyclists in America as tough, antisocial rebels, this campaign suggested that Honda motorcycles were made for the every-day rider! In 1976, Paul Hildebrand and Shirley Stephens-Garcia took this concept and their love of riding their Honda Gold Wing to another level and created the Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRRA), a motorcycle group built around the principals of 'Fun, Safety, and Knowledge"!
For over 40 years now, Honda and the GWRRA have continued a lasting, and successful business relationship as Honda continues to be the largest Japanese motorcycle producer and GWRRA continues to be the largest single-marquee motorcycle association in the world!
Honda and their friendly demo team will again be showcased this year at GWRRA's 39th Annual Wing Ding in Grapevine, Texas, August 29 - September 3rd at the beautiful Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center. Stop on by and sign up for a test ride on the latest offerings from Honda and visit with their friendly riding professionals! And, as part of their ongoing relationship, Honda and GWRRA will again be giving one lucky winner their choice of a brand new Honda Gold Wing so don't miss out!
