Thank you for this clear confession that you can't tell the difference between wearing controversial clothing and an act of physical violence. If they are the same thing to you, then you are exactly the sort of psychopath against whom free men prepare to protect themselves and their families.
As I wrote above, there's a far more effective organization that does this: they're called the Taliban, and they force their women to wear burqas and beat them brutally if they do not comply. For their inhumanity and psychopathy, we have declared war on them and decided to destroy them.
Ride safe, and have a nice day.
The reality of life is that each of us must conform and/or adapt to the norms and rules of any given situation or place. We all make choices, and we must accept the consequences of our choices or actions. I, myself, see a 3-piece cut as the domain of M/C clubs. I fully respect that domain. There is no need or reason for me to do any less. I stay out of their business, and they stay out of mine. For you to compare M/C clubs to the Taliban is ludicrous. Beyond ludicrous. You gotta do what you think is right, but man, you better look out for those consequences!
Oh yeah! I wear a plain, black vest. It holds things I don't want to put in my pants pockets. And, keeps the chill off my chest in cooler weather.

Come on; I took the trouble to point out how they (only the worst of violent 1%er clubs) are the same--that they use intimidation and physical violence over such stupid issues as choice of clothing, which is the very definition of "terrorism." I've also compared them to wild dogs, who don't know any better than to let their internal pack politics spill out into the general public and thereby deserve being destroyed. If you're going to call names like "ludicrous," can you at least take the time and effort to point out how they're different?
I'll start: several of the local clubs do charity rides like toy rides and fundraisers for cancer awareness and such. I don't think these are the same clubs that would threaten people with physical violence because of their clothing; in general, psychopaths don't form benevolent or charitable foundations.

Well I must say that I am an MC Club and when we ride together the general public in their steel cages do give you looks. We have certain guys that look like the dregs of society, however, we are all cops. so looks can be deceiving. We also run fund raisers and do community outreach. If you guys in clubs would speak to non-club members they may actually become interested and join. Alot of people assume all clubs are 1%er clubs. Far from the truth and TV isn't helping us.
Harley used to keep its distance, but I notice that they are now advertising on the over-the-top "Sons of Anarchy" TV show. I guess the message is, buy a Harley and automatically be like one of these clowns. Anything to sell bikes, I guess.

I suspect the message is "we noticed that a lot of people who ride Harleys watch this show and whole lot more people who watch this show WANT harleys." Seems like the obvious place to advertise.
He has to be a cop. A member of the countries largest gang.
I will just say this, I'd rather catch a beating for wearing the wrong patches then spend 3-5 behind bars for something as trivial as attaching "flashing or strobe lights to your vehicle, blue lights of any type, red lights facing any direction other than toward the back of the vehicle..." etc etc etc. He talks a heap of crap about "free men" but works for the organization who truely limits your freedoms in almost every facet of your life.

You use it or not ? Do you know it is there ?
It's a vest discussion - most of us who wear vests without club patches do it because we carry guns in or under the vest. Does it scare you, or what?
Just knowing half the folks on this forum carry, makes me want to act a little bit more civil. Half my friends carry too .. for me, never really felt threatened by anyone.
Used to be able to use your fists, but those days are long gone.
Oh, I like wearing my Legion Riders vest. Got some patriotic patches and Army unit type stuff. Don't know if it looks gay or not but I really don't give a **** anyway.
