“And they shall
gather in a circle, wrought of Iron, forged from the spirit of their souls. In
times past, many great warriors gathered together to form an Order that would change the face of the world as it was known.
They gathered not for
glory or for greed, but to a fellowship for the betterment of all mankind. It
was their spirit that would shape the face of the future paving a roadway for the generations that would follow.”
Richard the Lion Hearted
As our site says, “the
IOMC was started by a few hardcore bikers in a garage”. These bikers came
from different backgrounds and walks of life. They had a desire to share brotherhood
and socialize together as a group of men sharing a like mindset. That is how
the IOMC was started and how it is today. This is the heritage of the IOMC. We refuse to be dictated to by anyone as to whom or what we have as members.
We have learned many
things about the MC world over the past years. We respect all clubs and support
those that support us. We are independent and choose to mind our own business.
We started that way and we continue that way.
We run our club by the
very same MC rules established over 50 years ago by motorcycle clubs. We are
not 1%ers. We are not a HOG chapter but most of our members do belong to HOG
and many outside organizations such as ABATE and the Patriot Riders. We have
chapters in many states. We have a strong brotherhood between all chapters. We
are independent therefore we do not belong to any associations. We find we are
so busy with our own events and rides that we are not involved with any other organizations.
We choose to have our own charity work that we do to benefit the community not to make headlines or make ourselves
look good. We are law abiding, like minded men brought together by our common
love for our motorcycles, riding and desire for true brotherhood. We have our
own clubhouses, we have the same probationary and hang around traditions that MC’s established many years ago and we
stand together as brothers in our club.
Those who have rode with
us, partied with us, or know us, know we are bikers. Some have chosen a different
road because we do not waiver from our core values. We ride, party and mind our own business.
We do not create problems for our community or fellow bikers. We participate in charities that we feel benefit our
communities and we support our own. We are veterans, active duty military, construction
workers, truck drivers, businessmen, cops, feds, cooks, and any other occupation you can think of. We are about motorcycles, brotherhood and enjoying the biker lifestyle not about what you do for a living.
We are what we say we are and nothing more or nothing less. If you are law abiding, desire strong brotherhood
and riding a motorcycle is not a solo event, maybe we are for you. If you are looking for something other than what we stand
for then we are not for you. We are constantly asked “What is the IOMC?’ Don’t listen to the sidewalk commandos or the weekend warriors. Come by and
meet us then you decide what the IOMC is and if you have what it takes to be a brother of the IOMC.
