From another thread this link was posted. It has some good information on it, it appears to be some sort of Gang Task force site. http://www.segag.org/mcgangs/mcglossory.html

Anyone know of a online refrence to what patches mean? I don't really need it, but it might help many newbies from looking like complete douchebags at times. Call me crazy, but this is one of the things that drives me crazy and maybe if we spread some education around it would help preserve our culture?

RE: Annudder patch question
A good friend of mine had the broken wings patch back in 76......Not a new thing
ORIGINAL: Bear64
the idea of a broken wing patch I think is pretty new!! in days gone by, like a long, long time ago it was a full set of wings with one wing cut off..seems you all have earned your broken wing patch..I myself have given some thought to sewing a deerhead patch on my cutoff, or haveing one made up that simply says "Deer-0, Travler-1" Travler being the name of my bike.
Sounds to me that some of you could really come up with a neat patch of your own design, which would always be a conversation piece around the campfire..As for a angel patch, they have guardian angel pins, but they should be bought and given to you by a friend or family member, for it to work for you, just a old bikers myth?? Same with the little bell, one should never buy his/her own?? case in point while at Sturgis one year a young fellow bought his own bell, we all told him that he shouldn't do that, he said he didn't beleive it made any difference, installed it on his bike, about a hour later we got ready to go for a ride and when he went to start his bike, all his wireing burnt up. myth or truth?? you tell me.

Like I said, pretty new to those of us that have been rideing for a long time, no disrespect intended here, but I don't remember seeing them in the 50s and 60s, but you know I could be wrong.

RE: Annudder patch question
I guess the next question is do you remember anything from the 50s and 60s?

RE: Annudder patch question
I was born in 57 and it does sound like you recall just about everything. I was implying that you might have been partying and forgot not that you were old and didn't remember!! I would like to tilt a cold beer sometime and hear about the details that you would put in the book, I am sure it would be interesting and intertaining!!

RE: Annudder patch question
oh, there are some small time periods that I did forget from partying to much, like how did I get home from a bar 50 miles away and being so wasted on booze that I slept on the ground through the whole TT race in peoria, Ill once..but like I said I have memeries from MOST of it
A lot of good ones, and a few not so good, but hey, If I had it to do all over, you bet, I would do it again..just wish I would have taken more pictures one good memery I have is going back to norfolk after being home on leave, stopped at a small gas station in Indiana for gas, a older gentleman on a Indian started talking to me, decided he had nothing better to do so he rode about 150 miles with me..the old days, the old ways.
