In all fairness, I remember when I first started riding. Certain things that are senseless to me today were completely awesome to me. Like any local Bike Night, anywhere. Standing around looking at the 69 cent pinstripping from AutoZone along the fairing was so cool. We could look at is for 30 minutes. Looking at people's back tires to see how close the rubber was worn to the edge to judge people's riding ability...blah blah blah. Riding in the rain, all the time, with no protection, because riding was just so cool I had to do it all the time no matter what.
I remember those days. If that's where this guy is then I can relate. I bet most of us can.
I'd do whatever other people in your group do. I'd ask them, so you can follow along with everyone else.
Enjoy riding!!!

So, I have had my Softail for a couple years, but just joined HOG a couple months ago. The new patches came out this year and I really liked the Winged Skull patch for my back, as opposed to the older style Eagle patch.
My question is this....can I still put the local chapter top rocker above this if I so choose? I'd like to show my local membership off, but wanted to gather some thoughts from others first.
If all else fails, I'll ask another local member too.
Thanks

When I got my bike, I was bitten by the HOG bug too. I was excited about it, collecting the patches, pins and such. But the more I saw them at the shop and the hundreds of patches and pins on their vests and how they weren't the friendliest people there, the more I was turned off. But, to each their own.

Hey, the guy is excited, and that's a good thing.
Many of us went thru the HOG phase, and some are still there. I've met a lot of great folks on HOG runs, and I enjoy riding with some chapters more than others. I have a HOG vest, but in all honesty it has more dust than patches on it.
But, as was said by Chicken, to each their own.
Welcome to the club, dude. Ride often and safe.

This is a pretty good forum for the most part, but I just don't see the need in bashing everyone who ask a question (dumb or not). If we as a group were genuine in supporting and promoting the Harley Davidson and riding experience, we would be a little less of a jack *** when people ask questions. Even dumb ones.

I joined H.O.G. after I bought the bike and I joined the local chapter, they keep sending out post cards for their get-together's and I just toss them. I don't hang around or ride with anyone or any group, I joined for the road side asst. and the discount at the stealership. I'm not sure why I joined the local chapter, I'm thinking I was on pain meds that screwed up my thinking.
This got my laptop sprayed with gatorade.
