Thanks for the quick response Glebo....Not trying to start a game here....the question arose at church by a member.Some clubs allow it...to keep the colors in the wind...to be given back on arrival at a destination,gas stop,,whatever..

WTF? you didnt just ask that did you? ok seriously if your club officers hadnt of made the proper display of your "colors" apart of your prospecting phase then i'd be reallty concerned about wearing your colors" at any functions that may involve interaction with a proper club.

in answer to your question while i cant and wont speak for any club out there what i will say is to the best of my knowledge, a clubs cut is the clubs and to be worn only by a member in goodstanding, OL may or may not be entitled to wear a property of patch but that is seldomly seen nowadays.

but this is defintly something that you should speak with your clubs officers about as they are the ones who enforce your clubs bylaws and would know the set in stone rules about it, if there is no rules or by laws regarding who wears your cut then IMHO there is a problem

Even H.O.G. has By-laws and rules and I would think your club has them as well and this area would be covered. JM2C

Back in the early days, sometimes the 81 would let the OL wear the cut, so it could be sean....Talking back in the 60's maybe....
Most MC's have an OL patch that they wear, If your riding in a big group, theres plenty of Patches to be sean....
When we ride, we make sure theres a full Patch in the back of the group.
