Goldwing and trike customers/owners will enjoy a rideout with fellow Wingers and we are pleased to recommend you take the time to meet up with the Appy Wanderers.
Although totally independent of Colin Appleyard, we know that you will receive a warm and friendly welcome from the boys and girls of this great Goldwing touring group. The Wanderers were started by Colin Appleyard's resident Goldwing expert Barry and with the help of the Wanderers team of marshals, they have built a great reputation for enjoyable rideouts in the UK, as well as for European tours. The Wanderers rideouts are suitable for novice or expert riders.
All rideouts are conducted at legal road speeds, with safety first at all times.
Joining them is easy... simply go along to the pre-arranged meeting points and say hello, or visit the Wanderers on Facebook or their website.
Here's some of the events that are currently planned for 2012:
