Dave, there are quite a few active club members and ex club members in this forum.
We had to be a prospect and hang around here as well. Just post a bit more, and that annoying title will go away.

DON'T believe him, Dave. No matter HOW much you post, you will not git one of those "Moderator" patches, UNLESS you are one of "Them" kind!!! Jus' like those biker guys.

The problem is that so many people have bought those patches that you unintentionally end up being part of THAT group. If you want to show the world that you're independent, the best way to do that is to keep the back of your vest bare.

I've studied and admired the canis lupus for many years -- it's resiliency, cunning, and social attributes. I'm also not much of a joiner, typically ride alone or with just a few friends. One of my daughters once gave me a "lone wolf" patch... I thanked her and put the patch in a drawer.

Ok I get it.

Treat 1%'s with respect (alway did and do) and the "lone wolf" patch is stupid.

Wear them as a tribute to someone or something Some change most don't. Some represent things that helped get me to where I am now in life Others are merely statements of who I am. And I actually do like that person Thought I would include a photo or two for good measure. BTW I am looking for a Lowrider patch like the sporty one.
^^^Ditto. I have an eagle Harley logo on my back, along with some other patches/pins ect. Every one I either earned the right to wear such as military unit patches, it is something that I strongly believe in and actively support such as BACA or it says something that means a lot to me.

That might be a suggestion for you. Dunno, but its an idea.

It sounds like answers from a buttload of people who have no clue about 'patches' and M/C's except from what they've learned about them on the History channel.

To the OP...do what *YOU* want. If someone else doesn't like it, tell 'em to fsck off.
