Hi - I'm the bald kid in the picture! Some know me as Ralph, others call me Moose.
Thank you for visiting Fire and Iron Station 17 website. When I was introduced to members of Station 1, I was impressed with how Fire and Iron M.C. operated. I liked the idea that the club was open to all models of bikes with not so many rules, yet stood for all the things I thought a motorcycle club should be. I started Station 17 in S.E. Wisconsin in early 2004 and it's been a great ride ever since.
Our Group started out small and I am happy to report that we are now almost 40 members strong. We're a rather laid back group with very few rules, yet orginized enough to actually get things accomplished. We've got a great group and I get tons of help from all the members. We have monthly meetings and organize at least one ride a month during the riding season. This is Wisconsin so if the temerature is above 40 degrees, chances are you'll find someone willing to ride.
We have two major events each year for which we focus our fundraising. One is for the annual Burn Camp held in Wisconsin. This year we will be sponsoring a Charity Ride in July to benifit this orginization. The other event is to provide Christmas dinners to needy families within our communities. I am happy to report that this year storage totes containing all the fixings for ham dinner and breakfast were delivered to 21 families.
I've personally traveled to Sturgis, Daytona, Laconia, And Chattanooga with Fire and Iron club members. I'ts great visiting other chapters and meeting members throughout the U.S. We continue to offer our home to members traveling through and have had the oppertunity to be guests at other chapters. This is what Fire and Iron is all about.
If you're a firefighter or assosiate who loves to have fun, ride safe, and a desire to help those who may not be as fortunate as we are, please feel free to join the Fire and Iron family. Also check out the Station 141 in Green Bay. We all have fun together.
Ride Safe
