About Us

A Brief History . . . . .

 

The Iron Warriors Motorcycle Club (IWMC) was reorganized from the Wild Pigs
Motorcycle Club (est. 1987) in February 2001 and is an independent non-profit
organization.  The IWMC was established to provide the opportunity for increased
camaraderie between current and retired law enforcement officers and firefighters, to
assist fallen members and their families, and to benefit charitable organizations in the
community.  The IWMC and its chapter events are intended to promote safe activities
that will appeal to the membership as a whole.  It is designed to generate an increased
level of enthusiasm for those who enjoy riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles or clones
thereof, manufactured by a North American owned company.  The IWMC is not
affiliated or sponsored by Harley-Davidson, Inc or any other professional organization.

After significant consideration, we chose a symbol and colors which would reflect our
history and heart.  The symbol is a knight’s helmet and winged breastplate behind a
shield with Scottish claymore swords.  On the shield is our coat of arms which shows a
wild boars head fading out of the American flag.  This reflects our history.  The
emblems of knighthood and colors in our logo symbolize honor, valor, and the warrior
spirit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE HISTORY AND SYMBOLISM OF THE IRON WARRIORS COLORS

 

            When the Iron Warriors Motorcycle Club began the Idaho Chapter of the Western region submitted the colors design that was selected by a vote of the national membership to represent the Iron Warriors Motorcycle club. The colors were designed to represent the history and heritage of the Iron Warriors Motorcycle Club and to represent the spirit and heart of the membership.

 

            The symbol consists of a knight’s helmet and winged breastplate behind a shield with crossed Scottish Claymore swords.  On the Shield is the Iron Warriors coat of arms, consisting of a wild boars head emerging from the American flag. This coat of arms reflects the history of our original association with the Wild Pigs Motorcycle Club, and our common ancestry with those public safety motorcycle clubs that emerged from the Wild Pigs. The emblems of knighthood and the colors in the logo symbolize honor, valor, and the warrior spirit. 

 

            The lettering on our upper and lower rockers is red and white. The red symbolizes the blood of warriors, current and passed, shed in public safety service. The white symbolizes the purity and sacred pledge of each member’s common oath to serve others, even at one’s own peril. Within the shield there is a red and blue cross. These colors represent the thin red and blue lines of fire and police holding firm against all threats. The cross represents our common Judea-Christian Heritage.

 

            Together these colors and symbols represent those few public safety members found worthy  and chosen to be known as Iron Warriors.
