June 27, 2005 - IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger led nearly 100 IAFF members on a motorcycle ride through Nevada’s Mt. Charleston on Sunday, June 26, officially launching the IAFF Motorcycle Group. The inaugural ride, which served as the first gathering of members, was held in conjunction with the IAFF EMS Conference being held this week in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Nearly 500 IAFF members have joined the Motorcycle Group over the last several weeks. Created through a resolution at the 2004 IAFF Convention, the IAFF-MG is designed to bring together active and retired members and members of recognized affiliates from across the International union and to promote fraternalism among the IAFF’s ranks.

The IAFF Motorcycle Group is open to active and retired members who own and ride motorcycles – preferably those made with union labor employed by a North America-owned and operated company. For more information and to view the IAFF-MG Bylaws, click here.
