When Red Knights International MC was young, the easiest way to tell others about the club was by word
of mouth. This meant that members had to get out and visit other firefrighters. One of the best ways to do that was to
visit various Fire Stations.
Someone came up with the idea of rewarding members who made a certain number of visits with a certificate and a
pin. Proof of these visits was needed and so the idea of a GRAND TOUR was
born.
In order to earn a pin a member had one riding season to supply a photo of him/herself and his/her motorcycle in front
of Fire Stations whose names began with the first letters G R A N D T O U R.
Our first GRAND TOUR ride was held August 27, 2006 and is now a yearly event to be held the last
weekend in August.
