Yea I've got some patches on my vest, Ironbutt, PGR, USS Bainbridge etc. Just put them wherever the hell you want, it ain't rocket science.

haha love the comments about Mascman posing in the crapper.

I have patches on my vest but the one with the most meaning is the Broken Wings patch that signifies a rider that has been injured in a crash. Top center of my back.

Dood... are you taking a whiz? In your grandma's bathroom?

I got a patch that says "I hate patches."

Mascman, I salute that patch.

I fall into the category on the left. There are things I have not heard for 30 years, and will never hear again..... but it is nothing compared to the warriors from the right side.... nothing.

I have a question to the forum though concerning patches: How do some MC 'clubs' view patches?

From what i have read "dont wear a city or state rocker, a 1% diamond, or a MC patch unless your ready to defend it".. Correct me if i am wrong.. Oh If you sport a AMA patch on the front of your vest they know right away that your just a biker of no threat to them!! At least that is what i read..

IMO - nothing personal but patches and pins remind me of a "Home Depot" or "Outback" employee. I thinks it's called "FLARE". It's like TATs, personal, so do what you want and let not asks others opinion.

I have a vest I use for patches. The one that means the most is the one I had custom made last year at MB bike week 08 at SBB. It's a memorial for my brother in law who died the month before from cancer. He was 42 and I had mad respect for him even if he didn't ride.

Nothing on my jacket except about 75k miles worth of scuffs and what have you.
