As long as its not a 3 piece patch or a rival clubs patch you are OK. Most wont even give the POW patch a second look.
Ok I give up, why not a three piece patch. What the heck. As long as your not bothering anyone who cares if you have a three piece patch on your back? I have heard over and over that as long as your not bothering anyone else then they won't be bothering you. So what the heck is the deal with wearing a three piece patch.
this has been hashed and re-hased on here I gather you not a long time rider or you would know..may i suggest you look it up in the archives.[sm=popcorn.gif]

A 3 or 4piece patch is usually the symbol of a club.It consists of arocker on top that has the club name, the club logo is in the center anda bottom rocker, usually the city / town or country that the members of the club are from. A4th patch is usually to the right of thecenter logo and will just be 2 letters "MC".Wearing a 3 or 4piece patch without permission from other clubs could get you a severe azz kicking................BG

Am not so sure about the "wear what you want, its a free country attitude". In fact that attitude is a sure way of getting your *** beaten to within an inch of your life. I would heed the advice given by the other members and look in the archives.

I wear exactly what I want....and I don't want to wear anything that will cause me grief, so no 3 or 4 piece patches for this guy! Why look for trouble, did that when I was younger, now I'm wiser

Peace

One LEO MC Club, Iron Pigs has a 3-piece patch and another patch that says 99%er.
I can't see a problem wearing the POW/MIA vest. I do on occassions with no problems.

Crusher, I want to order aPOW flag.

On another topic, do any of ya'll think it would be in bad taste to fly the POW flag on a PGR mission ride?

American Flag on the right, POW on the left.
