The large patches have to be purchased from your local chapter. Ya, I had one for a short time (a long time ago) when I was a newbie. Just about everyone puts themselves through it. Some stay - most move on when they tire of all the 'you gotta do it/ride it this way' BS.
You might be able to pick one up at yur pet shop when you get your parrot and some opticians give them away with an eye-patch.

Actually Canada has one of the highest levels of terrorism finance in the world. They are only beat out by oil rich countries.
But the reality is Canada has huge amounts of people sympathetic to the radicals and they provide financial and other support.
The most unfortunate part about it is that while the average Canadian citizen is appalled by it the gov't there isn't working too hard to curb some of the **** going on up there.
Most people focus on the Mexican border the simple fact is the millennium bomber and others came through Canada. There are huge pockets of radicals in NY state that have come down from Canada.
If we get hit again and we will the safe bet is it will have had Nexis to Canada one way or another.

I like HOG, but it's not the kind of thing where I'd put holes in my leather gear to wear the patches and pins.

I had a hog patch on my jacket, showed up at the border to enter the states. The bitch border guard says, "I see you are wearing a patch, where is the rest of the gang". Then after I denied any gang connections, she kept asking who am I meeting in the states, who do I know in gangs etc etc. Finally I got searched and after they didn't find anything, after detaining me a good hour they let me in. Think twice about wearing a patch. Even though it means nothing, you have to consider other peoples perceptions.
somebody was watching too many episodes of Gangland before she came to work....
