Default Harley Back Patches - Crazy stuff

I have been advised that wearing the folling branded patches will only end me in trouble - I cannot understand the studity of this ( In Ireland ) -

Its a load of bollox as it does not state any membership / area / insults but only the brand -

What do you guys think?

The reasoning is because it's a 3 part patch- top & bottom rocker with center patch might get you attention from any MCs. BUT IMO, since it's just a Harley Patch, it shouldn't be an issue. If it was for an MC, then you would have to deal with the dominant MC where you are.

I think you should never underestimate the stupidity of government officials.

I dont see a problem with it as there is no MC cube.

While one could see this as a three piece patch from a distance, the bottom rocker claims no territory, and when you are close enough to read it ....not a problem, its obvious what it is.

I wouldnt worry about it...UNLESS the Dom club in your area has a problem with it, in that case, come up with a new design.

To be honest there are **** all mc clubs in Ireland - However as a matter of respect I emailed the Devils Deciples in Dublin to ask and I got all this blah b;ah back about how I am supposed to friggin earn a back patch -

I said hold on I am asking as a matter of respect and it does not state any mc/ territory / 1%er etc - I honestly think sometimes people have nothing else to do

It's funny how the moco tried to distance themselves from 1% clubs for years and, now want to cash in on the idea.
