Is this a new or older patch?

That's why I stopped wearing underwear. I heard some of those Hells Angels guys wore them but I didn't care, I wore mine for years.
One night though I was pissing in this bus station and a Hells Angel's member walked up beside me at the urinal and started pissing. He looked over at me and saw my leopard print undies and right then and there he opened a can of whoopass. I missed my bus, pissed all over my Wrangler jeans, lost my favorite non skidmarked animal print underwear and I didn't even get a refund on the bus ticket!

Moral of the story: Thanks to him I now wear depends since I **** my pants everytime I think of wearing something someone might not like.

Personally I like the patch and i am going looking for one myself, and if anyone comes along and doesn't like me wearing it too bad for them.

I rode naked to bike nite this evening. I figured if I didn't wear anything, no M/C would hassle me. Boy was I wrong! I got my a$$ kicked for being butt ugly! I just can't win...

Default oh nooooes!

that is a pretty cool looking patch man

I think we just have some nervous Nellies around here that like to over-think the whole M/C thing

oh yeah I still have all my teeth man

HA does have a copyright on their winged Deaths Head design (they decided to make money off of it) and the similarities with schumacher's new HD patch are really pretty vague along with dozens of other skull and skull with flames shooting out of various skull orifices etc. patches on the market

it would take a courtroom full of copyright attorneys to even attempt to resolve that issue, but I dont think he'll be loosing any teeth over it any time soon though

geeez

Would you really want to find out though, if it offended the 81's or HA's also known as the flyin' skulls? That is the question....

Tell me where the HA's make money off of their deathhead?

If you are a citizen you can wear something that will have 81 or red and white on it, but guaranteed you will not wear anything that says Hells Angels on it, as that is reserved for them and only them, period.

Paranoia is running a muck in here. What’s next??? You can’t wear Black Leather, Denim or ride a Harley because MCs do it??? I don’t see any resemblance and I would wear the **** out of it.

M/C patches are very near and dear to the hearts of the club members.
So very true and spot on.

Yep so spot on except that the patch Schu is talking about doesn't exactly resemble the Hell's Angel death head, it doesn't include the Hells Angels name or a location and it isn't displaying anything dispicable.
On second thought this statement was way off target.
