Alliance Fifteen also known as Alliance 15 and A-15 for short, is a fraternity motorcycle club based out of southern New Jersey. Its members typically ride sport bikes, more often Suzuki and Honda. The generally favored bike of the group is the Suzuki GSX-R.

Origin
Alliance 15 was started as an idea by two of its charter members. In June of 2008, the two were joined by thirteen other riders interested in forming a club of their own. The club was named ALLIANCE, an acronym for All Independant And Now Created Equal. This referring to the individuals, some complete strangers to one another, who came together to form a common and equal bond. The number 15 referring to those original fifteen members, also known as the Charter Members. After meeting with respected and established MC of the region, Alliance 15 was chartered on July 19th 2008 with a charter ceremony held in September 2008.

Club Purpose
Alliance 15 set forward its purpose to promote equality, camaraderie, organization, safety, respect, and love of riding to all motorcycle enthusiasts. Something unique about A-15 is that its members come from all walks of life; rich and poor, men and women, black, white, asian, spanish, working as cops, cooks, healthcare, construction and casino industry workers.

Membership
