As our
International 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 who 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 club rules established over 50
years ago
by other 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
and Europe. We have a strong brotherhood between all chapters. We
are
independent, therefore we do not belong to any associations. Some
of our chapters have their
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 ridden 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.
We are what we say we are and nothing more or nothing less. If you
are
law abiding, desire strong brotherhood and believe that riding a
motorcycle is not a
solo event, then 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, and then you decide what the
IOMC
is and if we are for you.
