HOG is a social club as such is not considered by anyone to be an MC. It does not have a three piece patch. HOG does this on purpose to avoid issues with territory conflicts with actual MC.
A MC whether it be the 1% or the CMA and their ilk will have normally a traditional three piece set of colors and will abide with the local COC and have their colors and existence approved.
But if you are wearing your HOG vest and the bar has a sign that states "No Colors", either leave or take it off as a sign of respect for the MC's.

I was surprised at so many different definitions. I wouldNEVER consider hog colors. When I think of colors I think of MC's.
What do you think "Harley Owners Group" is....Roofing shingles? It's a group, a gathering of people who have a common interest ... motorcycles therefor ... a motorcycle gang.
Contrary to popular opinion, I am notan idiot.Iknow there is a difference between a social group and aruthless thug gang!..But as far as colours go ... They are treated the same in someestablishments that post "NO COLOURS"... NOT BY ME!!! I REPEAT ... NOT BY ME!!!!!! THEIR reasoning behing it is: THEY consider all colours as colours ... they don'tdiscriminate between one or the other...they treat them all the same.
I have heard stories, 1sthand,about Christian Motorcycle Association members(I have a friends and my nepheware members...they havehad the same problem, over the years) and HOG Members asked to remove their 'colours'at the door.
Sheesh you guys! ... Haven't YOU ever heard of this happening?
And I reiterate ... I know the difference and I don't find HOG members or CMA members or anyJoe Blo bikerclub a menace or worthy of such treatment.AsI mentioned earlier I think it'sall re-freekin-diculous!

I don't allow pink colors in my establishment (House). If you do, I will remove them from you and beat the hell out of you. "Real men DON'T wear Pink."
OK boys and girls. I tried letting this thread go but we've had a couple of threats and more stupid statements than I can even believe. The original question was such an easy one. I'm just gonna lock this now before we offend anyone else.
