The Diamond 8 has been the defining symbol of the Original 8 founders of our club since day 1, 2004. It is worn and displayed by our brothers in honor of the men who set down in concrete the principles and values our club is founded on. The new Diamond represents the move of the Original 8 to their righteous home where those founding principles and values will never be buried or forgotten again. It is now called the Hell Fire 8. The gold holds that truth to be self-evident. The flames represent the hell the Rider has come up from to bring HILTH back to life never to be forlorn again. The bottom of the new 8 is in the old font showing the origin and the top is in the Iron Legacy font where the only remaining 3 of the Original 8 now ride.
NO! And we never will be.
The Iron Legacy MC is totally independent and beholden to none, to follow our own destiny truly free from all other’s rules and protocols. Our club is solidly based on our values of Honor, Integrity, Loyalty, Trust, and Honesty. We are law abiding. We are good stewards of our communities. We put our faith, family and career before our club but our club remains a solid part of our lives. We are committed to the brotherhood and our ILMC family. We stand together shoulder to shoulder, boot to boot. We are our brother’s keeper.
Our brotherhood follows the traditions and heritage of those who paved the way for MC’s in the 1950’s and early 60’s. We are veterans, active duty military, construction workers, truck drivers, businessmen, cops, Feds, and any other occupation you can think of. We are about motorcycles, brotherhood and enjoying the biker lifestyle our own way by our own rules as we have since July 4, 2004.
NONE and Never will we claim territories. We wear a rocker to tell others where we are from nothing more.
NO, however we do have LEOs spread throughout our club.
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.
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
We wear an MC with a three piece because we are a brotherhood of motorcycle nut cases. When a brother is broke down at 3:00am he will be taken care of. When a brother needs a place to stay or a hot meal when passing through town, he will be taken care of. When a brother hurts from life’s tough times he has support, a hand up, and healing from his brothers. When a brother is deployed his family is watched over. When a brother needs help he has help right by his side. When a brother is in trouble he has brothers who will stand with him against all adversity. When a brother needs a hand putting a roof on his house or repairing his scoot he has brothers he can rely on. There are never any strangers with our patch they are just brothers we have not yet met. But more than all of what brothers can do, we have the blessed brotherhood to provide all these needs to all our brothers in our beloved MC. The most rewarding station in our lifestyle is to be the brother providing the helping hand to a brother in need and to know he has your back always.
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.
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.
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.
