There are over 100 current riders on their membership list, consisting mostly of Gold Wings, but also including any other brand of bikes. GWRRA welcomes men and women, as well as all brands of bikes, and ride in Arkansas and beyond. The Eagle Wings ride every week, weather permitting. Rides are every Wednesday, and alternating every week on Thursday and Saturday. They also have overnight weekend rides around Arkansas, and longer rides that might take them to South Dakota or Big Bend National Park, or any other possible area their members might suggest. Members can bring up rides, plan it out, get a group together and hit the road. Usually from six to 10 bikes show up on weekday rides and 15 to 20 on Saturday rides. Meetings are once a month on the third Saturday of each month (except December), at the Home Plate Café meeting room, 5110 Hwy. 7 North. Come early and have breakfast at 9 a.m. and visit, followed by a short meeting at 10, and then usually a ride somewhere follows. If you are interested, or have questions, call membership coordinator Don Hewett at Visit // for more information, and to see the calendar of events.
