Default Patched In...

So last night of one of my best friends had a Trump Pence party at his house.. We had a band and there was like 50- 60 people.. All kinds of food and beer.. We had a great time It was awesome. There was three different clubs there last night one of them US Military Vets MC was there and the president of Long island chapter patched me in last night.. He's been wanting me to join them for a long time. Is hometown to be part of such a large club.. I didn't want to join another club again and I just wanted to remain solo but he still honored me with a patch and I was honored to be able to put it on my vest I thought it was really cool.. thank you Bull...

Thanks, yeah we did and you know the funny thing is the older you get the more mellow you get and you're just worried about having a good time and being safe.. I was very surprised but welcomed it wholeheartedly...

Good deal! I've been "solo" for years now, my BIL tried to get me to join his club, nice enough group, and I fit in well, but not really interested anymore. I still ride with them though.

Fantastic! I'm jealous because I can't find a club to ride with.

This is how I understood as it was explained to me...

The 514 patch is a representation of the US MILITARY VETS MC. The 5 represents the 5th letter in the Alphabet letter E And the 14 represents the 14th letter N. Those two stand for Eagle Nation, under which is the Bald Eagle and naturally our great country or Nation that the US Vets represent and protect... With this patch identification, no matter where I travel in this Great Nation, if I was to brake down any where all I would have to do it's give my local chapter club President (Who have me the patch) a call and he would then contact the Chapter president of the area I'm in to help a stranded Brother.. it's probably one of the best friendships or networks to have... I consider myself privaledged to have this...
