I'm guessing cops? Thats how the post reads but I could be wrong. Either way I have yet to be held at gun point while someone goes through my bags and if it ever does happen, the cop better have his legal ducks in a row cause I'll make suing that department a hobby.

I'm guessing that the "we" is existing 3-pp clubs. At least that's how I read it.

the bottom rocker claims no territory nothing to worry about

best idea regardless is to politely go tell the biggest local mc that is in your area what you are about and youll be fine

Two problems I see. Three piece patch and the words motorcycle club. Could get you in quick trouble.

"We" means 1%er's. As far as cops searching your stuff at gunpoint for no reason? If you believe that doesn't happen in America, dream on. For some of them that patch would be reason enough.

Honestly asking your local dominant club will save you headache. They probably have a website so just shoot them an email. With clubs it's give respect get respect so be respectful in your email and normally they will give you a respectful answer. As a bonus you wont surprise them on the road and they will know you are riding and most likely will leave you alone if they know who you are and what you're about...something as easy as an email (preferably a phone call) may keep you safe and make your ride that much more enjoyable.

so you're representing that you're a patch holder in a 1%er club?

[QUOTE=boogaloodude;8846118]so you're representing that you're a patch holder in a 1%er club?[/QUOTE

You would recognize the club name instantly and the correct terminology would be 1%er. We don't refer to ourselves as "patch holders". I hold my tongue for the most part reading some of the stupidity that's posted here and i don't identify who i am, but i just had to comment on those patches and the color.
