It stands for Weed or Meth. The patch has been around for years. Meth and bike gangs have been related for years too. Most people associate it with weed though. That is according to the Official Biker Dictionary listed above and Police Intelligence and classes that I took during my Law Enforcement Career.
Damn I've been riding around all these years with a #12 patch.No wonder I'm having such a hard problem copping weed
We should come up with a number for someone who brings up old threads. Maybe 12 for "L". Lazy ***. Too lazy to come up with their own thread. Or 14. For "N". Non original. :icon_tongu e:
originally it was meant that they guy wearing the 13 patch would rather walk the 13 steps to the gallows and hang than rat on his club....the weed meth **** came after...and I suppose you could tag almost any meaning you want to the patch...for some it means different things.
I love it when old threads pop up. I'm usually the one responding to them...
T-Dub can't wear an L patch for being lazy if he actually ran a search and then came up with it. It'd have to be L for LOOKING VERY HARD, or S for SEARCH MO THAN U!
LOL Either way, I think this is the oldest thread I've seen resurrected yet! AH COOL! I've got an idea for a new thread!
