Just don't ride your fake-*** three-piece through downtown metropolitan Two Dot, Montana.

you've been warned.....

 

You seem hell bent on doing this. I hope your "humor" is worth it to you.

The people most likely to "get" your "joke" on "yourself" are the very ones your going to offend by doing it.

Whether or not you do actually get your teeth bashed in (or worse) by a MC club or not, its flat out disrespectful to them, and thats what you don't seem to be grasping. The 3 piece patch is NOT a "joke" to them, REGARDLESS of the artwork on the patches, and in fact, is that much MORE offensive, as your treating the three piece patch as something to make a "joke" of. The fact that your "humor" is directed towards yourself, will not make a rats *** difference to them.

 

So, why is it the cut wearing, patched Star Motorcycle riders are still around? Maybe it's because nobody cares?

 

'Cuz they don't profess to be an MC, but an owner's group. Kinda like HOG, but with more plastic.

 

I tried to put a patch on my vest, but the lady coudn't sew through that much goose down.
The Star vests crack me up. I don't know why. I've never owned a "cut" but I have had leather and denim vests because mesquite thorns hurt. My friends that ride Stars know I find their vests funny. They've gotten used to it.
Maybe I should come up with my own 3-piece. Something that involves "Firearms" and "Instructor" maybe with a take-off of the Army crest in the middle.

 

To answer a few comments/questions:

Why are you posting this here - trying to insult bikers, etc.?

My intent was not to insult anyone. I have been posting irregularly on HDFORUMS for awhile now. I have never been derogatory towards Harley or Harley riders. I like this group because of what they discuss. Certainly there are lots of conversations here I could care less about - just as if some of you were on a BMW - or some other brand centric site - would find. But the truth is for many of us motorcycle oil runs through our veins and there are lots of interesting motorcycle rider conversations and rides that I find very entertaining. No, I don't own a Harley NOW - and I will not get another Harley Cruiser - but in a couple of years I can certainly see a touring framed HD in my futures.

Who is going to get the joke?

Well for me it is not important for anyone to get it for me to enjoy it. I have been riding around with a no-pickle sticker I designed (the latest one I have now a professional sticker guy designed for me after getting a copy of my homemade one - on Staples sticker paper). Almost no one gets it - but I laugh inside every time I see it.

You sound gay because of how you dress - or geeky because of what you ride...

Whatever. So I wear bright gear. I have also logged somewhere in the vicinity of 400,000 to 500,000 miles and cannot point to an instance where I had to panic brake to avoid t-boning an idiot pulling in front of me. While gear that is highly visible is only a small part of that equation, it is big enough part for me to continue to wear very visible gear. I also like to wear armored gear - never been down, but who knows what the future holds. Besides, in my opinion it looks a whole lot less gay than the village people look.

As to my bike. Yeah, the BMW is kind of an ubergeek bike. Plus with my cell phone and a GPS attached, plus riding in my power rangerish gear I can look pretty geeky.


As to the other general comments - if you read all my posts I am not "hell-bent" on doing things my way and not listening to the group's consensus. I have evolved my idea (which I clearly state much earier than this statement) and asked other questions (single patch and two patch).

To those that PM'd me - thanks you gave me the most practical advice (though there was some good advice on this thread as well).

 

What, exactly, IS the point? Did you go around poking bee hives with a stick when you were a kid?

If you have to make fun of someone, make a (one-piece) patch to make fun of Prius drivers and all the other annoying hyper-milers driving way under the speed limit.

 

Just make it a single patch not a three piece?

 

Maybe you should also get a Skull and Crossbones patch for your bright yellow vest.

 

Go back to the BMW forum why don't ya.
