What does the #13 patch mean?

Thanks, Rhubarb. I wondered about that myself.

 

Get yourself a copy of:

Hunter S. Thompson Hell's Angels (The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs)

The book is 40 years old, but covers a lot of the history and symbolisms. If you were going through your teens-twenties in the sixties-seventies, you'll remember a bunch of the stuff that happened.

 

I always thought it meant " 1 judge and 12 jurors ". I see "13 1/2" alot too, and thought it meant " 1 judge, 12 jurors and half a chance ".

 

prolly good bikers to stay away from

 

I think it means 13 is a bad luck number. The same reason someone wears skulls or flames. If they kill you they had better eat you.

 

Yeah, who knows? I just learned what DILLIGAF meant the other day. Been seeing those patches for years, never knew.................

 

my neck of the woods it stands for weed another words the letter "M"

 

It stands for Weed or Meth. The patch has been around for years. Meth and bike gangs have been related for years too. Most people associate it with weed though. That is according to the Official Biker Dictionary listed above and Police Intelligence and classes that I took during my Law Enforcement Career.
