Iron Warriors MC Nation

I want to thank everyone who was able to attend the West Coast Roast this year.

A great time was had by everyone just ask anyone who attended. A speical thanks goes out to Dave Alvarez who stepped up to the plate and took over when Dave Tozer and Greg Phillips came down with some medical issues that put us out of commission for awhile. Dave did a great job and it showed at the event.

Thursday started with the arrival of some of the chapters and pizza and beer around the pool lasted till late in the evening then moved to the parking lot.

Friday started out with a ride to Monterey Bay Area returning to the hotel that afternoon. We arraigned to shuttle anyone who wanted it to one of the local Winery's that puts on an evening dance outside under the trees next to the vineyards along with a great band and food. I didn’t know iron warriors like to dance so much, the band stayed around and kept playing blaming it on us saying we were having way too much fun and they wanted to be part of it.

Saturday was another ride out to San Juan Bautista and a bike blessing at one of the oldest missions in California. Thanks Ray Celano from G.G. for arringing that for us.

Since we were all blessed we figured that it was safe to take everyone to the clubhouse for food drinks and dancing. Everyone was happy. The Idaho chapter was able to watch the Boise State Football game on the big screen TV in the bar while everyone else danced and had a great time. We want to give an extra thank you to the Idaho Chapter for coming all this way to support us, and that goes for everyone who attended. Without you this event wouldn't have bee such a huge success. We are already working on next years West Coast Roast so get ready to make your calendars, we are planning on around the same time of year again. If anyone has any suggestions please let us know. THIS EVENT WAS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF BRINGING THE IWMC CHAPTERS TOGETHER AND HAVING FUN. THAT'S WHAT THIS CLUB IS ABOUT ENJOYING LIFE TOGETHER WITH YOU FRIENDS.

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR AT WEST COAST ROAST!!

So.Bay IWMC

          Once the badge goes on, it never comes off whether they can see it or not, it fuses to the soul through adversity, fear and adrenaline and no one who has ever worn it with pride, integrity and guts,can ever sleep through the "Call of the Wild" that wafts through the bedroom windows in the deep of the night.

The last night of regionals, the guys with the Tattoo Shop set up.  They had one of the IWMC helmut in "garlands'? maybe.  Any way they would give up a copy.  THe more i think about that damn tat, the i think i want it.........

             ONCE THE BADGE GOES ON, IT NEVER COMES OFF WHETHER THEY CAN SEE IT, OR NOT IT FUSES TO THE SOUL THROUGH ADVERSITY, FEAR AND ADRENALINE AND NO ONE WHO HAS EVER WORN IT WITH PRIDE, INTEGRITY AND GUTS, CAN NEVER SLEEP THROUGH THE " CALL OF THE WILD " THAT WAFTS THROUGH THE BEDROOM WINDOWS IN THE DEEP OF THE NIGHT..........

IRON WARRIORS PRAYER

Sunday morning I pull my iron horse from its stall. Turn the key and a crack of thunder parts the sound of silence. In the back of my mind I wonder wich one of my neighbors are damming the one thing I dreamed of doing all-night. That thought quickly evaporates to I am a Iron Warrior and my brothers are waiting so I must ride to meet them.

I say a prayer for all Iron Warriors here on earth and those that ride the havens on their V-twins as large as the grandest mountains. This is a brother hood next to none. It is my religion, my demons and my honor to serve and be a part of an elite group of people that serve the public putting their life on the line each and every day.

We are Warriors. We are not just Warriors but Iron Warriors. We are Iron Warriors and we will stand and fight what the common fear. The highway is my path to the havens. I will ride its valleys and mountains to the promise land and will embrace the winds that wear my face.

As an Iron Worrier you need not fear me although I only ask for your respect and in return I will serve with Pride Integrity and Guts.

If any other chapter has a ride orevent planned let me know so we can get the word out.

Hearing the sound of the highway and the smell of the rain on the asphalt,

Time is passing by so quick these days, some days I miss smoking, watching the smoke trail pass into the sky,

Hearing the tink,tink as the engine cools from the ride, Remebering friends past andsome of the crazy times we shared.

The friends that have passed on,always in the back of the mind, Years spent doing our Duty,

The memories some good, but when sleep comes sometimes so do the Night Terrors the not so good memories.

Some days I miss the drink it wasalways a way to forget the past, to try and drown the times that Iwould love to forget.

I call it making friends with the Grey Ghost but as with all Ghosst they sometimes come back to haunt you,

So here I am awake and remembering the Sins of the past,

It is easy to forgive your fellow man but to make peace with oneself is sometimes hard,

The actions we took even though it may have been our job, in a strange sense I somehow enjoyed the deed.

Some people ask why I like being alone, Its a safe place for me to be.

In the early 80's in a Bar in Naples a friend made a comment you Bikers are a strange breed you enjoy being alone together.

I laughed then, but I knew for me it was the truth, We the share the wind, no need for idle chatter,

The full moon on the back roads, and the darkness of a moonless night.

The smell of the ocean and the sight of the forest.

The smell of the heat from themotor we know every sound, Every tick and squeak of the bike.

And Yes the thunder of the Motor, we even know when it ain't right.

The older Iget the more I understand. Somedays the only peace I have is in the wind.  

Sorry for the ramblings,,,, thought you may enjoy....  Loner : Better the freedom of being alone.

                             instead of

             the illusion of Safety in the herd. Words lie, Actions speak...... 

This has been on our 'News' page, but thought it worthy of Blog space to show you what I'm talking about when we refer to Brotherhood, poetry, and hellish writers in the club:

A toast to you my Iron Warrior brothers and sisters!

This past year has came and gone!

We Have laughed and we have cried!

We have fought hard on that "Thin Blue Line!"

We run into the gunfight, we put out the fire!

We have lost Iron Warrior brothers and sisters, sometimes i wonder,

Does anyone really care?

I look out at you; I see your Iron Warrior vest you wear!

You wear it with pride, because you the Iron Warriors are always there!

Your hearts are large, but I know you are tuff!

I also am an Iron Warrior. "I love you so much!"

So to you the Fireman and the Policeman as well,

be careful out there, our work is pure HELL!

I salute you my brother, with this i say, to our fallen comrade Iron Warriors I toast you today!

Let us stand and fight once more, the fire the criminal, who will be the first thru the door?

So, yes we are Iron Warriors, our colors we wear with pride! So lets get on our Harleys and " BY GOD LETS RIDE!"
