Hey all you fire and iron peeps! The ride south to PC like usual had it's problems! A fellow bike rider (ok...it was a girl) had carb issues and had to ride bitch for most of the day! After shuffling around we had everything under control! We couldn't have asked for a better riding day! Sunshine hidden by clouds with just a bit of moisture that hardly hit the ground! We're not sure how many riders were in attendance for the poker run but there were bikes everywhere! The chance to spend a bit of time with the Great American Dream! Thanks to all for a great ride! Let's do it again! |

It was a day for fun in the sun. Didn't ride many miles other than what it took to get to where we were going, but it was all about the destination today. Club members and family had a BBQ and fun in the afternoon. Horseshoes was the choice of entertainment for the adults while some of the children swam and fished. As the sun went down after all the apple pie was gone, the fireworks came out. Hope all had a great time. This one's for you guys, you're the greatest! I couldn't do what I do without you. Hope ya not too upset at Dispatch for making the melon to strong! HA HA! |

__The Rally for 2010 was in Plymouth, Mass. Station 144 and Scooter did a superb job of hosting. Hotels right on the water front and barring slight drizzle even Mother Nature allowed for a great event.
__How Brave does one individual have to be to actually call for a coin challenge at the Meet & Greet? Or is that just crazy? The Crazy part is, I think, someone was without a coin! Helluva bar tab there! Took up a collection to help though. Now that's togetherness. One for all and all for one! Brotherhood.
__Great rides, nice country, awesome people! What more could a club need? More beer please! Or apple pie! BOTH!!
__With only one incident during a ride, an accident nearly slowed us for a bit but no significant injuries to mention. Crazy was more worried about the new paint job than the bruise on her leg! You go girl!!
__The Kilts & Colors ride and the booze cruise went off without a hitch. Can't wait till it happens again!
__As all headed out to the BBQ (steak & lobster) Bake, we knew it was drawing close to the end. Thanks to all who attended to made this a great rally and new friends. Fire and Iron for Life!

Our first Open House! Games, food, beer & fun! Bummer the bikini girls never showed up. So after all some of the officers got out there and made an effort of it. Thanks to all our friends that did come and have some really good fellowship. Special thanks goes to Dennis for his long drive from N. Carolina. Next time will have bikinis. But thanks to those that were wearing them, looked so much better than the guys! Thanks all! |

We sponsored and participated in the Relay for Life for Jackson County. Despite the heat, we had a great time. We had a campsite set up and sold BBQ sandwiches and a few T-shirts. We even had a few members out walking laps! Although we didn't stay overnight, a bunch of us showed up the next morning and had a ride to Bainbridge. |

Well this was a ride to enjoy! The whole purpose of this was just for us! A time to be on the road for no other purpose but to enjoy the open air, feel the breeze between ya knees, and be with family. Rode to Eufala and had a great lunch, met some good people on the trip and nice relaxing ride that lasted 6 hours. |

It was never a doubt that we wouldn't help. The opportunity to assist in a Poker Run to support the National Fallen Firefighter's Foundation was an honor and a privilege. This year at Thunder Beach in co-op with the Red Knights asked if we would participate for this worthy cause. Over 100 bikes came out and rode in some really great weather for this great cause. |

After our Sherpa goes to Helen Back event, with Thunder Beach around the corner, a Sherpa goes to Thunder Beach Poker Run was planned. Several stations participated in this event from all over the states. Our Interim Regional Officer, Dice, made the ride. Club members from Tallahassee Station 8 came over. A lot of riders all showed their support for our downed friend. Making a great come back Sherpa! Keep it moving forward! |

This year the Florida DOT, None for the Road Campaign asked Station 202 if we would participate in their event "Ride Safe State to State. Several groups including ABATE, Red Knights, Fire and Iron 202, Christian groups and many individual riders from GA, AL, and FL participated in the ride. The trip Started at the Florida state line welcome center and ended at Pier Park, Panama City, as a kick off to Thunder Beach week - escorted by law enforcement and Florida Highway Patrol on bikes. What a ride! |

This
turned out to be a meeting to be remembered! We had several
special guests and friends, points of business, and the end of a
Capture the Flag! This meeting began with the arrival of 4
prospects receiving their Colors! (one was absent though) We
made further prep for our Relay for Life Ride Event. Also
discussed was the upcoming event for Thunder Beach with the Red
Knights, Biker Bulletin Board, and Thunder Beach Productions. And
the the great finale was the returned banner for the Red Knights
that was mysteriously removed from a Fire and Iron event. After
all was said and done and the banner returned with no disgrace
it turned out to be a fun meeting. But all needs to be aware
now. No telling what may happen next!!!!! Most of all, Burn
rubber, not your soul!!!! |

On a
happy note, one of Fire and Iron's own is making a great
comeback from definitely a trying time! Many prayers were said
and answered as Sherpa is making his own way back from the dark
recesses! As one of the members so politely put it, Bless his
little pointy head! Thanks to all the members of 202, 55,
36, and all others that attended. You all will be richly
blessed! Mother Nature let us have a great day for playing in
the sun and no chance of rain. Music, bike wash, Olympics, and
such were all filled with camaraderie and laughter! Rick, wish
you could've been here! A great time was had by all ! |

There
are times that you just want to ride and feel the breeze between
your knees! When that happens you just never know where your
going to end up! It never really matters if the ride is long or
short as long as it's with great people to share it with! This
was such a day! Thanks for having us join you for this worthy
cause! |

Some
days we really get to do some great things. Helping people that
are in need is just one of them. Alisha is just one of those.
She is such a sweet young lady from Malone that has had her
world turned upside down and just wanted to catch her breath.
Being able to see her smile and want to ride the bikes on her
run was just all it was worth. We'd like to say thanks to the
Thunder Angels for coming up and enjoying a perfect day for
riding around the area. There are many more that participated
but too many to mention! We thank you all! |

We
all had a great ride down to Panama City this weekend to meet
and greet more of the MECCA peoples and enjoy their hospitality!
We enjoyed them as they came to Marianna and supported our cause
and it was time to return the favor. Met lots of good folks, saw
some really groovy cars, and yes, even brought home a second
place trophy for Motorcycle category! Didn't get to have as many
as we wanted there as this was also a sad day for some. The
Legacy Vets lost one of their own and we sent representatives to
the memorial service in Gritney. Our condolences to the family
and friends. |

It was a sad day today as we
laid to rest one of our own. Our dear sister and wife of our
newest member , Donna Jo Windham was laid to rest today!
While Mother Nature made the trip a little bit unbearable and
chilled you to the bones it was still nothing like what the
family has to to endure. Our thoughts, prayers, and wishes to
the family in this dark hour. Please remember her in your
prayers. While we only had a short time with her you could
still see the sparkle in her eyes and she will be sorely missed.
A short moment of silence. Thank you all! |

Let's hear it for all those
that participated in the American Legion's HotZee Run! and if ya
not sure what that is, it's playing Yahtzee instead of Poker!
Give it to them for coming up with something new! Weather was on
our side with no rain in the forecast but geez, they lied about
the sun! Only had about 10 minutes of the glorious warmth out
but it wasn't that bad over all. Made some new friends, met up
with some old ones, and didn't win a blasted thing! Oh well, had
a great time anyway! Look forward to the next outing! |

What a way to start a year!
Members showing up to eat, meet, and greet our newest joining
Probies! We'd like to thank and welcome our newest members and
wish them well as they start their journey into the Fire &
Iron MC. Same old officers, some new officers, and all the old
gang still around to do it all again! Stay tuned for more brand
new stuff throughout the year! let's make this better than the
last! Isn't that the reason we do this stuff? YEE-HAW!!!!! |

I'm not sure how we did it but
lo and behold, we're on the road again! Someone said there is no
poor days for riding, only poor clothing choices. And that what
it took for us to be out on the road on Jan 1st. Reps from our
Station rode out to Gritney for the Annual Brotherhood Memorial
Ride that was put on this year by The Viet Nam Legacy Vets. We
had some great camaraderie and awesome food! Was nice to meet
our brothers on two wheels and exchange friendships! Look
forward to the next meeting. Stay safe in the New Year! |
