We were thinking of joining GWRRA and were looking for some more info from members. Is it a good move? Sounds like a great organization and just want more info. Thanks!

Different groups work for different people...and chapters vary widely. You do NOT have to be active in a chapter to belong to the national GWRRA.
That being said, I am "life" AMA: 643840. I am "life" HOG US 0513536. I am only "annual" in GWRRA since 2003: 177376. I am also a member of a real live AMA sanctioned M/C, a group with over a hundred years of tradition. Clearly, I am a "joiner". That's my bias and perspective. I was planning on discontinuing the GWRRA membership and only belong to TRI. Since TRI is no more, I'll continue with GWRRA to participate in the trike related stuff.
The monthly magazine is good. The organized events are worth participating in, at least some times. The Gold Book can be a life saver or just a useful source of info. You may find more than a fair share of old farts and coots in the GWRRA; however, local groups vary widely. (For a trike rider that may not be a problem! We certainly have our share of those folks.) Try GWRRA Try it for a couple years. If it doesn't work for you stop renewing your dues. Do it.
:Agree:
GWRRA chapters do vary a lot from one to the next. Some are friendly and will make anyone feel welcome. Others are pretty clicky and act almost as if the old long time members don't really want newbies messing up their thing. Some chapters ride a lot and others, like our local chapter dont do too much. Like the above posters said, visit your local group a few times before you join and see if its a fit for you.
Or you could always start a local T.O.I Chapter!
