I always thought it was a patch with wings hangin' down supposedly meaning that you crashed your bike.I guess that it's a sew on patch.....Why would anyone brag about crashin'........or........I could be wrong....it may have another meaning...Who knows?

Well if that's all it took than I could have gotten one long ago. I had a meany tell me that his chaps with the fringes on them made him a tougher biker than me. My feelins were so hurt it took me a month of counseling to even be able to ride again. OH THE INHUMANITY OF IT ALL!!!l

captain m-it's not that I want ta brag. It's just that each of the patches/pins on my jacket are there because they remind me of something or someone who's been a part of my story. Not bragging, just sorta adding a piece to a biography of sorts. I love when I see someone with a sh!tload of patches on a vest or jacket and ya ask em what they mean and get the whole "they're just kick *** patches" answer. To each their own I guess.

Lmao. man, some of those replies crack me up. Talk about a hard audience to please. No need for an explanation post Scramboogie.
Anyhow, here's a story. This D1ckwad goes to the States and brings back a load of Harley patches. He rides a chopped Honda, nice scoot. Kind of looks like a rat bike.
So he's selling a load of these patches at a stupid margin to us Harley guys. I must have been the only one not to buy any. Then I notice he's sold a broken wing one, a big one, to a bud of mine and I explain the patch and tell him to change it for another. So he goes over and explains it to the dude selling 'em. ..... Dude says..... tough, ain't taking it back and not exchanging it either. ...... So guy pops him one. There he is; on the ground; completely confused and I go over and say........ if you didn't fully understand that; I can explain it to you again. Lol.
He took the patch back. ....... Man, some people must go through life constantly getting their a$$es kicked.
