GWRRA Rider Education Program

Gold Wing Road Riders Association has always promoted safety through education. However, it was not until January 1988 the Rider Education Program began to gain momentum with member participation. There are now over 30,000 member participants in the program.

Y2 is committed to riding safely and educating our members in this program. We encourage other groups to join us so they may benefit from the Rider Education Program.  Y2 members and friends are encouraged to participate in various seminars and Rider Courses continously to keep up to speed with the latest information available. Learning and Safety can be a fun event shared with friends as we learn what could save someone's life.

Please e-mail Y2's Chapter Educators for more information on GWRRA's Rider Education Program:  Y2 Chapter Educators

If you do not have an Emergency medical sheet on your bike, please print the form, then fill it out and place the form in your bike. Y2 hopes we never have to use, but it can save your life in an emergency.
