I wear a bunch of nicotine patches cos I'm trying to give up and since they work so well I'm waiting on someone to come up with alchohol patches but i won't ride when wearing them.

No vest, no patches, never will. If I wanted to look like a dork I'd become a Shriner.
Wearing a patch does not make you a dork. Acting like a dork makes you a dork. I know many Shriner's. I would not call them dorks either.

P.S.

Send me a self addressed stamped envelope and I'll send you an HDForums.com Patch.


Looks to me like someones ribs are ahealin up just fine! LOL No way you could type that w/o laughin.[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

The only patch I wear is on my jean jacket and that is to cover the Company Logo
that was on there. Free Jean jacket! I'll take that. So I put a Harley Patch over the Comp Logo.
My two boys love the patches. I give most of the patches to them and they think they are on top of the world.

I actually have a vest specifically for putting patches on.

It has all kinds of crap on it,....pins,.rally patches, places we've visited, biker dives we've stayed at, poker runs we've made,..............to me, ...it kinda tells a story of where and when. It's ugly as sh*t actually,...but I like it for that reason

Guess I'm a dork too,..........oh well,......happy guy!

I'd like the guy that made the dork comment originally go up to a Hell's Angel that is wearing their vest with patches and have him call the Angel a "DORK",

That would be a funny site to see,[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

1%'ers and other outlaw clubs practically invented the vest and patch attire,

Most likely a RUB made the comment,

I didnt vote because I only wear my vest because it is one of the Jacks Flaps ones(won it in a contest)and its a functional item,not cosmetic...wouldnt wear one otherwise....I plan to put the flaps on my riding jacket also so I wont need to wear the vest over the jacket on really cold rides...both have ONE patch only,a 10x14 US Flag on the back....I think that says enough about me...:&gt
