Work toward Grand Tour Master status.
When the Red Knights were young, spreading the word meant visiting other firefighters at their stations. To reward members for these visits, the Grand Tour was created: visit stations spelling GRAND TOUR for a pin, later expanding into patches and rockers.
Over time, more tours were added: RED KNIGHT, FIRE HOUSE, TWELVE STATIONS, and the ultimate ALPHABET TOUR, which can span multiple years.
Complete all five and earn Grand Tour Master status with a special brag coin.
In 2009, the program evolved to include 3-inch patches with rockers. A database tracks completions, and photos must be emailed to grandtour@redknightsmc.com with each image kept within the submission limit.
- Visit active fire stations, not EMS, dispatch, or inactive buildings.
- Take photos with you, your motorcycle, and a readable station name sign.
- Complete your selected tour within one year, except for Alphabet Tour.
- Submit the online application and email your supporting photos.
- Guests can earn pins and certificates, though patch rules differ.
- Co-riders and groups are welcome as long as everyone appears in the proof photos.
You must be on the International Roster to qualify for patches; otherwise you are recorded as a guest participant.
Patch and rocker for each completed tour.
Certificate for each qualifying tour.
Grand Tour Master earns a special certificate, rocker, and brag coin after all five tours.
Maximum award limits still apply within the official programme.
