My Vest has patches and pins, and I wear it summer and winter. Everytime I ride I havethe Vest on. I don't give to much thought as to whatothers do or think. I have been riding many years, I do respect others opinions but there just opinions right? To me riding free is riding when, where, and how far I want whenever I want. When talking about what to wear while riding that would bemy choice. I have several H.D. T-shirts I don't feel like a billboard when wearing them. I rode metrics for years and did not wear H.D shirts. Now that I have a Harley I do wear them. I think you should Ride and dress the way that's right for you.....Ride Safe and Often......BearC.Paw......

I don't wear any patches or pins, it's just not me, but a good buddy that I ride to Laconia with every year is one of thoseguys with a vest and leather covered, and I mean covered, with every patch and pin he ever got. His helmet is covered with stickers and decals. Some not very tasteful. I mock him in a friendly way because he really looks ridiculous and every event we go to he looks for a new pin, patch, sticker or decal. Is he a dork? Well he sure looks like one but he is a great friend, very smart,who would do anything for me, and has, at the drop of a hat and I walk proudly next to him when we are out and about.I just think of him aseccentric.

In addition to my previous post now the childs father is trying to become a Shriner due to what they offered to his son.
Just for information's sake to anyone who would want to become a Shriner, you need to become a Mason first. The Shrine is the PLAYGROUND of Masonry.

Yes your right. He is a mason now I found out two days ago. I am not a member so I dont know a lot about it. I just know they do good work.
