DEATH B4 DISHONOR

I would rather die than give in to anything that would dishonor irmc, my fellow ill ryderz, or the principles of which this motorcycle club was founded.

The exact date of the origin of the phrase cannot be determined, because it comes from the Latin and was used by Roman soldiers as a "battle cry."

    The Latin phrase is "MORS ANTE INFAMIAM." "Infamiam" literally means "infamy," and "dishonor" is a synonym.

    Another version of the phrase is "POTIUS MORI QUAM FOEDARE," which means "rather to die than to be dishonored."
