Geez ... after reading all the "recommendations" in this thread I may have to unlearn everything I've learned in the last 50 years of riding. :>)

Just be yourself. As for 3 piece patches. Not all are outlaws lol. I wear a 3 piece. Most military clubs do. We re a lil higher on the pecking order, than most.
Ive been around forever since 79. Had friends in the other clubs. Most are just fellas. Yes some look down on people. But their the ones with the lil confidence.
Like i said be yourself.

Ride safe.
Wow I din't know this, bummer. I have had one and ride with it every summer (here in AZ that is 9 mos of the year). I didn't know I have been a posser :-(

Yep, Widows Sons is another 3 pce. patch group. Just a bunch of fun loving Masons. Our local MC(s) don't mind us at all. We've made a couple of small changes in deference to MC protocol but we wear 3 pce. patches and everyone is happy.

who really gives a CR#P what those MC yahoos think about what i wear and how i act anyway... I will do what i want when i want and I dont feel the need to please those self appointed biker rule makers. They have their "club" rules and good for them they can keep it to themselves if it makes them feel important or feel like a big shot.
