Anyway, I and my wife both wear HOG patches when we ride with the local HOG chapter. I wear a Leathernecks MC patch when I ride with them. When Kat and/or I ride alone we don't wear any patches and I'm about half way between a mesomorph and an endomorph.
As Rick Nelson said, "You can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself."
Damn dude, you stock up on velcro or something???

He must have been thinking about Ghost Busters MC.
I have mine carefully pinned to a noticeboard in my hallway. I have no particular opinion about HOG either way, but my nearest chapter only meets on a Thursday. So to go to a meeting, I'd have to ride the hour and a half out of London to my flat, then another hour out into the sticks to get to the dealer, then back again. On a school night.
No thanks. Also, I don't feel the need to discuss oil choices in person.
I liked the poster that said the propper place was at the bottom of his sock drawer. I am a HOG member, but rarely go to meetings since they are 100 miles away. Still I do not have any patches on my jacket or vest. I do not need to look like a gang member, no matter how nice the gang is.
To do it properly you will need Hog Patch Installation Kit - fits 1954 and later models (p/n 85550-07).
NOTE: Installation of HOG Patch may cause imbalance weight distribution in wearing apparel, and may cause tipping, resulting in serious injury or death.
I've been reading the HD Catalog again!!!

Sammi, the part number above is for the chrome installation kit. Do you have the number for the black? Also, my parts guy couldn't tell me if it was compatable with non-Chinese vests.
follow the following proper procedure/protocol pertaining to HOG Patch affixation:
1) Take envelope from mail box
2) Eagerly tear envelope open
3) With shaking left hand, raise patch high over head at arm's length (make sure patch shades your eyes from the sun)
4) Shout out some obscene expletive while gazing at it with glazed eyes and dancing around in a circle (counter-clockwise)
5) Rush home as fast as you can hollering,"I'm a HOG!" as loud as you can while waving the patch to every biker you see
6) Get a tube of Speed-Sew from your wife's sewing table
7) Smear speed-sew on your vest/jacket and press patch on (location must be different from all other HOG patch locations you have ever seen)
8) Gitcher motor running
9) Head out on the highway
10)Lookin'for adventure
11) Or whatever comes our way
