Sounds like a really amazing motorcycle club to belong to, huh? Recently I did an interview with Frank, the President of the Ionia, IA chapter. Check out what he had to say about his club.

What is your motorcycle club called?

Brotherhood of United Bikers

When was the first chapter started?

The first chapter began in 2005 in Suffolk, NY.

Why did the founding club begin their organization?

It started as a car club with a strong motorcycle division that broke off to begin a motorcycle club.

How many chapters are in Iowa?

There are currently two chapters. I am the President of the Ionia Chapter in Northeast Iowa. The other chapter is in the southern Iowa town of Chariton.

Tell me about the club and what you stand for?

Each chapter has its own agenda, we have by laws and standards to up hold, but we have the autonomy to take our chapters in the direction that best meets our lives. Our motto really tells it all.

Do you have any events for charity?

In 2010 the Ionia Chapter is working with town officials on a bike night, a toy run and a cancer awareness ride.

Does it matter what kind of motorcycle you ride?

All Iron is Welcome .

Are females allowed to join your club?

Yes, there is a NY chapter who has a female VP.

Do you prospect a potential member?

Yes, for 6 months and they must attend events.

Do you wear a vest and patch?

Yes, one back patch that shows our county or city and state.

I see you are the President of the Ionia Chapter. Why did you decide to join the Brotherhood of United Bikers?

I had become friends with a couple of the chapter presidents, and after awhile felt it was a club I wanted to be part of.

How long have you been riding?

Just over 30 years.

What motorcycle do you ride?

Have had many bikes 2 Harleys, 6 Kawasakis,and now i ride a 2003 Shadow Spirit and a 1100 xs Yamaha.

If someone wants to join the Brotherhood of United Bikers how do they go about it?

They can email me (forever.brotherhood@yahoo.com) or go to Brotherhood of United Bikers

The Iowa chapters are new to the club and are looking for growth in the upcoming year. There are over 36 chapters and we are international with chapters in Canada and the UK.

A big thank you to Frank for taking the time to share what this M/C is all about.

Cool Tribute Video to the Hells Angels

Ok, as you can tell I'm missing Sons of Anarchy something fierce. A friend of mine posted this video on my MySpace page and I have to tell you it's seriously a very cool song. Even if you don't belong to a motorcycle club such as the Hells Angels you can appreciate what the song says. The lyrics Fight for your Rights got me in the heart because of how our nation has been rolling lately. As bikers we have to constantly fight for our rights. In some states the right to choice of helmet or no helmet is gone. In some states you get a ticket for the type of pipes you have on your bike. Anyway...I hope you enjoy the song. It has helped my continued thirst for all things SOA and motorcycle clubs these days. I'm about to re-read The Wild Ones again. Maybe winter has finally gotten to me...that's it!! Anyway...it's a very cool song and video.

The Last Chapter Part 1 & 2

If you are like me you have been missing Sons of Anarchy during these winter months. I found a show on Netflix that has helped my jones a little bit. The Last Chapter is about a Canadian motorcycle club called the Triple Sixers. The show is like the Sopranos on motorcycles. Michael Ironside plays Bob Durelle and Roy Dupuis plays Ross Desbiens. Bob and Ross begin the series as the best of friends but eventually end up in rival motorcycle clubs after the death of Ross's wife Wendy. Ross is determined to destroy Bob Durelle. Durelle finds himself realizing that being the president of the Triple Sixers isn't all he thought it would be. This show is full of blood, boobs, and bikes. Check it out...you might like it!
