Winners most beautiful bikes 2020

In these times of negativity, finally some positive news.

As you all know, we had a foto contest for the most beautiful bikes within GWEF.

The committee has decided on the winners, who can participate for free in 4 international Treffens in 2022. Officially this was in 2021, but the current situation looks like a repeat of 2020, so it difficult to know if even 4 Treffens will be held this year. Therefore the committee has decided to move it to next year.

If you click on a a picture, you will get a  large format so you can see the details better.

The winners are:

GL1000: Eric Sterckx (GWOCI)

GL1100: Danny Nauwelaerts (GWMCB)

GL1200: Stojan Ilić (GWSLO)

GL1500: Dominique Debeyne (GWMCB)

GL1800: Serhii (Hooligan) Atanasov (GWCUA)

3-Wheel: Leif Lindwall (GWCS)

Treffen Hungary (GWCHU) 2021 is cancelled

Dear Goldwing Friends,

I would like to inform you that the Hungarian Committee (GWCHU) has decided to cancel the Treffen date (01.07.2021-04.07.2021) due to the difficult time.

Be healthy, now that's the most important thing!

Treffen Portugal (GWCP) 2021 is cancelled

Dear friends,

Although there are still no certainties, we are forced to cancel the Treffen, as there will be no time to organize it, even if there are conditions to do it. Currently, the law does not allow this to happen and the borders remain closed. The law changes every two weeks, but it would be risky to keep the Treffen, as we can't be shure if we can make it.

Stay safe.

Treffen Spain (GWAE) 2021 is cancelled

Hello Winger friends,

I regret to report the bad news to you.

Last night we, the board GWAE have decided to cancel our annual treffen, that would take place at GANDIA on June 3 until June 6 2021.

This because of the COVID, we still do not know who can or who is not allowed to travel outside their borders.

In Spain the autonomous communities have their own rules, which makes traveling more difficult for ourselves and also for those coming from other countries.

I hope you dont’t blame our decision.

With many collegial greetings, that we can meet each others soon in better times.

Keep it safe and healthy.

Treffen Great Britain (GWOCGB) 2021 is cancelled

*** POSTPONED - 40th ANNIVERSARY GREAT BRITISH TREFFEN - POSTPONED ***

It is with regret that the GWOCGB Committee after discussion have decided to POSTPONE the 40th Anniversary Treffen - 2021 until August 2022.

Due to the current Covid Pandemic it was felt that this decision had to be made now rather than wait till later.
It was also felt that the health and safety of those attending could not be guaranteed plus restrictions could still be in place, i.e. numbers allowed to attend, social distancing, wearing of face covering, travel restrictions etc.

This was a hard decision to make but hopefully you will understand why the committee have taken this course of action.

The GWOCGB Committee and all its members invite all European Gold Wingers to the following event :
40th ANNIVERSARY GREAT BRITISH TREFFEN 25 - 29 / 08 / 2022

STAY SAFE

Treffen Russia (FGWCR) 2021 is cancelled

Dear Goldwing Friends,

I have very sad news for you. We are very sorry, but the board of Goldwing Club Russia made a decision to cancel our treffen due to pandemic situation.

We all know that borders between Russia and EU countries are still closed and nobody knows when they will be finally open. I hope everyone understands that organising treffen in such conditions is almost impossible and unrealistic. We are very, very sorry.

Keep safe and hope to see you soon.
Best regards,
Marta Kondrat

Treffen Italy (GWCI) 2021 is cancelled

Hello friends,

GWCI has also decided to cancel our annual appointment.

Unfortunately, the pandemic situation and the impossibility of predicting a return to life and to avoid new hotel bookings led us to anticipate the decision.

Keep safe and hope to see you soon.

Treffen France (FGWCF) 2021 is cancelled

Hello all,

Due to the sanitary crisis the French board decided to cancel our Treffen for 2021. Our Chairman made the announcement this morning.
We are very sorry not to be able to join in May because it would have been a pleasure for us to receive you all.
If some of your members have made pre-registration, they will be refunded of the total amount.
Be assured that it is just thinking of the safety that we had to take this sad decision.

But we are still hoping to see you in a super "Faites de la Gold" in September in Bourges.
I will let you know, as soon as possible, all the details about this meeting.

Keep safe and hope to see you soon.

Regards,

Treffen Holland (GWCH) 2021 is cancelled

Dear members,

This evening we as committee and treffen organisation of Gold Wing Club Holland had to make the decision to cancel the 43rd treffen again. We had already taken this scenario into account, but we still hoped that we could continue in its original form. An attempt was made to agree on a shorter procedure time with the municipality, which turned out to be impossible for various reasons. Earlier we had already agreed that it should be a treffen without corona measures, as Mr. Marcus van der Mast (Secretary GWCH) already indicated in January in the foreword of our club magazine “de Wing”, sitting at a meter and a half and everything according to restrictive rules is not a treffen. Of course we regret that the treffen cannot continue, but given the current situation, we really can’t do otherwise. Maybe something will be possible later this year, let's hope. As for the 43rd international treffen, we are going for another attempt in 2022. We hope to meet everyone in good health at a later date.

Treffen Belgium (GWMCB) 2021 is cancelled

Hello fellow Gold Wingers,

On behalf of the Belgian Committee and our members of the Gold Wing Motor Club Belgium, I wish you all the very best for 2021 .

2020 has been a strange year, the world as we all knew it has been turned upside down by the Covid-19 pandemic . We can only hope that you and your loved ones are in good health. The new year brings hope and finally there is light at the end of the tunnel with a vaccine. Let us all hope that a bit further in the new year, we can travel around again on our beloved Gold Wings and meet up with friends and family like we used to do before this terrible virus made an entrance in our lives. Sadly enough this will not be possible in the first few months of 2021.

The situation in Belgium and the restrictions that are still in place for the coming months do not allow us to organize an event with visitors from all over Europe of different age groups . Therefore, the G.W.M.C.B. committee had no other option than to cancel the Belgian Treffen 2021.

As committee of the G.W.M.C.B we know this is not the news you were all waiting for,But we are not allowed to organize this kind of events in our country and we feel that it is our responsibility as a committee to watch over the health and safety of all participants at our events. Sadly enough, we cannot guarantee this at this point.

Therefore we set our sights to the future and the better times it will bring. The Gold Wing Motor Club Belgium wish to invite you all to the upcoming Belgian Treffen in 2022, to visit and enjoy our beautiful small country.

For now, enjoy the small things in life, keep it healthy and keep safe, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing!

Best regards,
Frédéric Vanderstukken

BeNeLux Tour 2021 is cancelled

Hello fellow Gold Wingers,

After discussing the Covid-19 situation and the restrictions that are still in place in the BeNeLux countries the organization had to take the sad decision to cancel the 2021 edition of our Tour.
Sadly enough looking at the restrictions that are still in place we are not allowed to organize an International event.
We understand that this is not the news you were waiting for and we as organization fully understand this, as we also would like to enjoy our hobby again like before Covid -19.
But we as organization are responsible to watch over the health and safety of all the participants of the BeNeLux Tour, sadly enough we cannot guarantee this at this point.
We believe that better days will come and would like to invite you all to participate at the 2022 BeNeLux Tour edition.

For now stay healthy ,

GWEF Covid-19 patch

Hello GWEF Members,

Due to the fact that in 2020 the GWEF member clubs were not able to welcome you to one of the international treffens, GWEF decided to create a patch that you can buy to show you endured this crazy time together with all other GWEF members. This patch will be available for € 3.00 and can be ordered by contacting you Interrep. At the end of the year all orders will be counted and the patches will be made.

Here is an example of what it will look like:

GWEF STA Stamp card 2020 will be reused in 2021

Hello GoldWing drivers of Europe,

The GWEF STA Stamp card of 2020 will be used in 2021 for the STA stamps.

This means that you should not throw it away, but hold on to it for next year.

Also it is agreed that for those who are attending the Bulgarian Treffen in September 2020, the card will NOT be stamped, as it is impossible to receive 4 stamps this year.

This is more cost-effective than reprint the cards next year.

Stay safe and enjoy the ride,

The GWEF Committee
