The false assumption here is that I go to biker bars, hang out in areas that gangs frequent, put patches on my jacket, or go to events. My only interaction with other riders is seeing them on the road. I just mind my own business. I have fun, I ride my bike, go home. I rarely if ever see anyone with colors, even when riding the highway. If I did, its not like I am stopping to chat. I do not wear leather or patches of any kind. Nor do I dress like a biker. I am not trying to look the part. I wear a flourescent green neon safety vest, white FF helmet, red suzuki jacket, gray riding pants. I am the last person to be seen wearing a patch or such item of any kind.
I was responding to the OP and then all the people getting all bent out of shape as a result.
Heres the thing MINI---IM not going to respond about patches. --This is to you personally. Going by everything YOU SAID...Your description of yourself, where you go and dont go and your admitted lack of knowledge of mc's.............all that is good, to each their own. Now, the problem is why do you think you have some great knowledge to add to the OP's question? It wont be you out there wearing the patch in question....If there is a problem it will be the op's friend....NOT YOU. So why do you keep on with this nonsense of talking out your a$$? --------just stop already. edit---and again very friendly advice. Also i consider this the real world as much ..ok almost as much as the "real world". I am the same here as i am outside of here. As far as i am concerned we are all hanging out someplace in real life...thats the way it is to me. I suppose that is why it is aggravating to me when someone just keeps talking and talking and talking.

I respectfully ask this question and am only wondering out of curiosity and will take what ever answers I get and not comment back.
how does a person interested in joining a 1% club get in without having to do somethings that they may not feel comfortable doing(whether illegal or legal), I am just curious and have no interest in joining any MC, I just read some of the comments and it kind of made me think Huh?
Thank you in advance and ride safe.

Well who knows what one has to do to get in. If you want in you approach them and talk to them about it. If you still want in and they think you might fit; then you hang with them...maybe that leads to prospecting. At that point you just do what your told. Maybe you make it...maybe you don't.

You asked why somebody called you a fool.
Look at what you've said about yourself - you don't know any bikers, much less club members, and you claim to have absolutely no knowledge of the issue or the subculture. You are pretty clear about that.
Yet, somehow, you have done most of the posting in a thread about the possible consequences of wearing 3-piece patches in the biker world and it started with you giving an opinion on members of 1% clubs and what they would do.
You were called a fool because somebody was trying to be nice.
MINIWOLF---Everything you say is maybe, probably, In my opinion, i would think etc etc..............all that means is you dont KNOW. Of all your talk of posing and people claiming to be this and that how do you still go on yakking about stuff you obviously dont know what your talking about. i got some relatives like that...they just keep talking and talking and talkinbg.....dude do yourself a favor and just stfu. ---and that is friendly advice.
My search skills are lacking, I have a buddy thats wanting a 3 piece patch that has Harley on the top rocker, a skull in the middle and Davidson on the bottom rocker... Ive told him to stay away from a 3 piece set completely but he thinks there isnt a problem with it... There might not be, I dont know and wanted clarification on the matter.. Can anybody shine some light on the matter for us...
Yeah sure ... nobody gives a crap if YOU want to where a 3 piece poser patch ...
