Default Broken harley wings patch...

I've been ridin' 35 of my 45 yrs., and the way to get yer busted wings was, if you were involved in an accident, drunk- or not, that you were hospitalized for...broken leg, arm, head-neck, or, whatever and you got back on to ride again. Years ago...Yer partner, bro', would have given you a set after you had gotten back on that horse and rode again. I myself have a set from the 70's and am lookin' for a new patch due to bein' shot off mine......
