The Red Iron Motorcycle Club of Mohave County is much more than a group of riders. It’s a brotherhood; a tight-knit faction dedicated to each other, their families and the local community.

The club originally formed in 2009 as a bike club for firefighters and veterans, inspired by the heroic acts of first responders following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Nearly 10 years later, the club is no longer a focused firefighter club, welcoming members of all backgrounds.

“We have evolved and grown over the years,” said club President Doug “Bo” Bryson.

Bryson said the Red Iron Motorcycle Club’s mission, as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, is to promote motorcycle safety and to help local children who have been diagnosed with cancer. The Mohave County chapter is one of four Red Iron chapters in Arizona: the others are based in Maricopa County and Sierra Vista and includes a Nomad chapter.
