Frequently asked Questions about the ILMC

I heard you guys quit another club just to start this pop up club?
We don’t see it that way. We, the Original 8 and other senior founders of that club, stepped up and brought the founding principles and values back to their intended place. It is a continuance of our heritage started on July 4, 2004. It is our mission to keep those values as our guide now and forever into the future.
I heard you guys followed one man, what does that mean?
Our previous club was never about one man, although they will cling to that mantra to avoid looking retrospectively at themselves… The old club was founded on a set of ideals, values and principles. We always tried to follow those ideals, values and principles because the club leadership held them at the highest level. However, at the end of our tenure, that had changed. We found ourselves realizing “this wasn’t the club we joined” or “this is not what we signed up for.” To us, it had become clear that the direction of the old club had deviated from what it was intended to be. The old club had turned away from many of those ideals and principles that we hold in high regard to this day. At that point, we made personal decisions to leave the old club and follow what we believe had been lost. It is not a coincidence that out of the hundreds of members that were part of the founding of the Iron Legacy MC many were leaders in the old club including the remaining Original 8 members that founded the old club. Ideals are what matter and what are followed. If you believe in our ideals and you wish to follow them, reach out and contact us. We will be happy to talk with you and see if the Iron Legacy MC is right for you…
What about your oath to the other club??
We wrote that oath. We live that oath. We took our ideals, principles, and values with us. The rider in our patch says it all. He resurrected them from their grave where they were buried and forgotten and took them with him.
Is the ILMC a 1% Motor Cycle Club?
NO! And we never will be.
What territories do you claim?
NONE and Never will we claim territories. We wear a rocker to tell others where we are from nothing more.
Is the Iron Legacy a Law Enforcement Motorcycle club?
NO, however we do have LEOs spread throughout our club.
Do you allow drugs like marijuana?
No and Hell NO! No illegal drugs or illegal activities whatsoever!!!! For states that have legalized Marijuana, we will let federal law guide our policies.
What other Motorcycle Clubs are the ILMC affiliated with?
The ILMC is not affiliated nor are we a support club to any other Motorcycle Club. We respect all clubs and we have great relations with other clubs who accept our law abiding values. We support our own brothers. To those who are looking for some kind of conspiracy or secret alliance with other clubs, there is none.
How many members do you have?
More than one and less than a million.
Can women join the ILMC?
The ILMC is a very traditional motorcycle club that follows the same traditions set by motorcycle clubs in the 50's and early 60's. Therefore we are a men's club.
Are you bad asses?
We all have asses, some bigger than others. We are family men, we work hard, we play hard, we ride hard, and take care of our brothers. No time for school yard games.
If you guys are law abiding and have law enforcement in your club then why do you wear a three piece patch like an outlaw motorcycle club? We abide by the same traditions of motorcycle clubs in the 1950’s and 60’s who were social outcasts and non-conformists. During this time in MC history the clubs who wore a three piece patch were outcasts from normal society and free of the restrictions society put on social customs. That means they partied their asses off and shocked the world with the new found freedom of being themselves which in turn caused them to band together in a very special brotherhood. Today the ILMC is a true outcast club with a very strong brotherhood. We do not conform to the protocols that are illegal and infringe on the rights of others
Why do you guys wear a state rocker?
The founders of the club had to decide on the design of our colors. We were in Louisville, Kentucky a decade ago. We asked if we should fly a city rocker and we were told that was claiming territory which our club will never do. We asked if we should fly a county rocker and we were told the same thing. We asked if we should fly a region like Northern Kentucky and again it was a screwy answer. Finally we asked for a suggestion as to what we should fly and we were told “Brotherhood”. Well we don’t live in the town of “Brotherhood”. We decided on the state rocker since we do not claim territory and it made sense to us that the state would not designate a territory.
Why is the Iron Legacy MC in the Alliance of Law Abiding Motorcycle Clubs?
Our principles and values totally align with the Alliance. It is an honor for our club to be a part of an organization that is working hard to make the biker community open and safe for all clubs and riders. We stand on our Constitutional rights with all Alliance MC's as we move forward with our law abiding commitment to our families, our brothers, our fellow bikers, and our communities. If being around law enforcement, military, and first responders is offensive to you then don't come around us.
Who can join the Iron Legacy?
If you are male, 18, law abiding, have a cruiser style motorcycle more than 750cc, or a sport bike and a strong desire to do something good for your community while at the same time helping build a true national brotherhood of like-minded individuals....then you MIGHT be ILMC material.
I heard all you have to do is send in money and you can get patches from the ILMC, is that true?
Absolutely, please send cash only. Be sure to include two box tops from your Fruit Loops cereal box. Then check your mailbox regularly. Be patient, the patches may arrive at the same time as that Little Orphan Annie secret decoder ring you've been waiting for. Let us know how all that works out for ya.
Do I have to be a Probate or Prospect for the ILMC?
The short answer is yes. We're all grown men. This isn't a schoolyard and we're no bullies. You will, however, earn our trust, respect, and the right to wear our patch. There is a hang around period when you will learn about us and we will learn about you. There is a Prospect period where you will learn more about us and you will prove your desire to wear our cut and your commitment to our values and brotherhood. There are no hazing or foolish games. This is a serious time for everyone to take the time to decide if this is a good fit for all.
