Chapter TXX2 History

Chapter TXX2 was chartered in 1999 with Lloyd and Wanda Olinger as its first chapter directors.  They served as chapter directors until 2001.  While at the helm, Lloyd and Wanda were instrumental in getting the chapter rolling down the road to success.  Steve and Judy Mueller stepped in to provided leadership as chapter directors from 2001 to 2004 and kept the ball rolling; taking the chapter to a new level.  During their tenure the newsletter (X2 Files) gained notoriety and the chapter won numerous awards at many GWRRA rallies.   Very active participants Greg and Deborah Decker took over the chapter director’s reigns in 2004, serving until 2005.  Greg and Deborah had been a very big part of TXX2's previous achievements and continued their chapter commitment during their time as chapter directors.  Veterans Jim and Fran Rigell stepped in as chapter directors for the period of 2005 to 2008.  Jim and Fran brought their chapter Z director’s knowledge and their enthusiasm to TXX2 to keep us moving forward.  In 2008 David and Gail Nuñez accepted the chapter director position and are currently holding the position.  David and Gail have continued to keep the group active with community events and group gatherings.  The more things change, the more they stay the same.  With all the chapter director changes, TXX2 has managed to remain the same:  a fun group of people that love to ride and gather together for great camaraderie.

About Us

Chapter X2 was founded by RIDERS and continues to be filled with participants that love to ride.  Often times we are blessed with participants from other chapters joining us on our rides.  There are few weekends where there isn’t an event on our calendar.  In addition to our weekend “day rides”, we schedule overnight rides to places like the Texas Hill Country to view the beautiful bluebonnets.  We have also been known to take a week or longer to ride the roads of places like Colorado and Arkansas; not to mention trips to attend Wing Ding.  You will also see us ride up at many of the other GWRRA chapter's rallies and functions.

We don’t stop with riding.  We love to eat…don’t most wingers?  We have Friday night dinners as a group, at restaurants in the area.  We have had multiple progressive dinners to celebrate Valentine’s Day and many gatherings at participant’s homes.  Our gatherings can range anywhere from a pot luck dinner, to a Super Bowl party, to a pool party.  We don't need much of an excuse to get together.  We also celebrate two functions annually.  The first is our chapter Birthday party where we serve the best Bar-B-Q and all the trimmings.  The second is our chapter Christmas party complete with a white elephant gift exchange.

We are also very active in the community.  Giving back to the community is very important to us.  We have raised money and participated in many charitable activities.  A couple of noteworthy causes we support each year are the Ride for Kids Program and the North Houston Foster Children Multi-Chapter Toy Run.

When riding a motorcycle, safety cannot be stressed enough.  We boast several Level 4 Master Tour Riders in our chapter and are known as a fun loving but safe group of riders.  We maintain a trained group of Road Captains to make our rides safe as we travel the roadways with our 4 wheeled friends.

As you can see, we congregate with many FRIENDS and have a lot of FUN, keeping SAFETY in mind, while continually enhancing our KNOWLEDGE.  This enables us to maintain a chapter full of great people.  Come by and visit, you may just like what you see.
