History of the Axemen M/C
The Axemen M/C was founded in March of 1998 by Bob Roths of the Inkster Michigan FD. There were 12 founding members. The purpose of forming this club was to have a club exclusive to IAFF members, working or retired. Volunteers, PSO’S or part time firefighters are not eligible for membership.
Our core membership is located within the Detroit metro area. We currently have over 90 members on the roster.
Charity rides and other events organized by the Axemen have generated more than $160,000.00 to date, which we donate to various causes, the majority among those being fire fighter and police related. Our income comes not only from the riders, but from businesses and individuals who donate money and prizes for our silent auction held at the ride.
In addition, we are supporters of the Great Lakes Burn Camp, Detroit Receiving Burn Center, MDA, Detroit Firemen’s Fund, and numerous other individuals and charities.
