Dear Fellow Touring Motorcyclist
Many who are familiar with organized motorcycling want to know what makes us different from other organizations
Our organization was established in 1987 because a few hundred people decided they wanted to start an organization whose leaders were answerable to the members and only the members. Why were they driven to this monumental task when many were saying "Others have tried and failed, so will you" ? These few hundred were driven by the desire to enjoy motorcycling and they were convinced the only way they could reach that goal was with freedom. They felt if they could establish freedom, fun and friendship would quickly follow.
Freedom
The founders of GWTA felt the members needed the freedom to decide for themselves what would bring them enjoyment.
It all begins with a few individuals in a community who get together and decide amongst themselves what they might enjoy doing together. This is what a GWTA chapter does. Any funds the chapter raises belong solely to the chapter.
The chapter is accountable only to its chapter members.
Fun
If you have freedom you can't help but have fun. The driving force behind our (the members) organization is fun, We are not driven by profit or numbers but by good times and friendships. GWTA activities are planned to give the member a maximum of fun at a minimum cost.
Friendship
This is by far one of the greatest rewards GWTA has to offer its members. If you choose to be involved in your organization you will gain many lasting friendships. You will be involved with people who have something in common a passion for motorcycling, fun and friendship.
