Iron Spartans
Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club
The Iron Spartans Motorcycle Club was founded in August 2006 by a group of friends known as the “Original Seven.” They had ridden and patched with another law enforcement motorcycle club, and decided their ideals would be better served by a club of their own.
From that first group the club has grown into chapters across the country, from California to Louisiana, and from Washington to Texas. Twenty years later the Iron Spartans Nation still gathers every year for the National Ride and Meeting.
We are law enforcement officers first and foremost. We abide by the conduct expectations of our profession, on duty and off, in uniform and in our cuts.
The founding principles of the Iron Spartans are simple.
Dedication to our families, our work and our club.
The brotherhood is the reason we ride together.
We love to ride, and we ride with skill and confidence.
Loyalty and respect for one another, always.
Our center patch is the Iron Spartan. “Iron” stands for the motorcycle, the foundation of the club. The Spartans of ancient Greece were highly disciplined and fierce defenders of liberty, the standard we hold ourselves to.
“Molon labe” is Greek for “come and take them.” It was King Leonidas’ answer at Thermopylae in 480 B.C., when the Persian king Xerxes demanded that the Spartans lay down their arms. Leonidas and his 300 held the pass. Iron Spartans members wear the Molon Labe patch as a reminder of that resolve.
IRON SPARTANS® and the ISMC center patch are registered trademarks of the club.
Membership is reserved for active and retired law enforcement officers.
You need to ride, and you need to want to be part of a brotherhood that takes its reputation seriously. Every application is reviewed by the club before membership is offered, and new members serve a probation period with their chapter. Each chapter sets the length of its probation.
How to JoinWe support all law enforcement and public safety motorcycle clubs. Our passion is riding, and we support every effort to promote the freedom of riding.
