J u s t J o k i n ’ . . .<strong>Wing</strong> Shot<strong>Wing</strong> HumorYes, you can ride your Gold <strong>Wing</strong> <strong>to</strong> Jamaica—Jamaica, Virginia, that is!My wife, Maureen, and I (Tim Stueve, GWRRA #69828, <strong>of</strong> Westchester, Maryland) have been GWRRAMembers in Maryland since December <strong>of</strong> 1990. A couple years ago, we went <strong>to</strong> a Chapter function inthe “northern neck” area <strong>of</strong> Virginia and ran across this sign. It was almost 300 miles roundtrip fromour home <strong>to</strong> this Jamaica, but that’s a lot closer than the island. Plus, we could actually ride there!Apolice <strong>of</strong>ficer noticed a Gold <strong>Wing</strong> goingmuch <strong>to</strong>o slowly on the highway he waspatrolling, so he pulled it over. Heapproached the two people on the GL1800and asked the rider, '”Sir, do you know youwere only doing about 20 miles an hour?You're driving much <strong>to</strong>o slowly on this highway.Could you please drive a little faster?"“Oh, sorry <strong>of</strong>ficer,” the rider replied,“I sawthe big sign with the ‘20’ and assumed it wasthe speed limit, so I’ve been trying <strong>to</strong> keep myspeed about 20 miles an hour.”“No sir,” the <strong>of</strong>ficer explained,“that sign isthe highway number.This is Interstate 20.Thespeed limit is 65. "While he was explaining this <strong>to</strong> the rider,the <strong>of</strong>ficer noticed that the Co-rider was shakingalmost uncontrollably. He leaned in closer<strong>to</strong> the rider and whispered, “Are you sureyour passenger is okay? What’s wrong withher?”“Oh nothing,” the rider replied.“It’s probablythat we just got <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> Highway 205.” ●• GWRRA Membership Application •Member Name: ______________________________________________________ ❏ New ❏ Renew Member No: __________________LastFirstCo-Rider Names: __________________________________________________________________________________________________________Mailing Address:__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ❏ USA ❏ Canada ❏ Other: ________________City State ZipTelephone: Home: ( ) ________________________________Work: ( ) ___________________________E-Mail:____________________Gold Book Direc<strong>to</strong>ry Information (must check at least one):A) ❏ Truck/Trailer B) ❏ Phone Calls Only C) ❏ Tent Space D) ❏ Lodging E) ❏ Tools F) ❏ Tour Guide ❏ Do Not list me in the Gold BookGWRRA21423 North 11 AvenuePhoenix AZ 85027800-843-9460(623) 581-2500(623) 581-3844 Faxwww.gwrra.orgwww.<strong>to</strong>wbusters.comNew Members—Who referred you <strong>to</strong> us?Member Type (Select One)Individual Membership❏ 3 yrs $120 USD ❏ 2 yrs $85 USD ❏ 1 yr $45 USDFamily Membership (2 or more people in household)❏ 3 yrs $150 USD ❏ 2 yrs $105 USD ❏ 1 yr $55 USDAssociate Individual*❏ 3 yrs $135 USD ❏ 2 yrs $95 USD ❏ 1 yr $50 USDAssociate Family*❏ 3 yrs $165 USD ❏ 2 yrs $115 USD ❏ 1 yr $60 USDSubscription Only (<strong>Wing</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>) ❏ 1 yr $40*The Associate Membership is for those who wish <strong>to</strong> take advantage <strong>of</strong>GWRRA and its benefits and do not own a Gold <strong>Wing</strong> or Valkyrie.❏ Yes!
