Travel Advice

O.K. I'm sure I might get blasted for asking this question, but thought I would give it a try. I'm a local HOG member and ride with the group, but also do my own thing. I did put the HOG patch on my vest. Here is my question. I'll be traveling from CA to the Gulf Coast of Texas. Are there any issues between the real MC's and people riding with the HOG patch?

You will have zero problems. it's not a 3 pc patch or anything. Trust me all the 1% clubs know what a HOG patch is.

I have heard of Customs agents (a friend had some problems) and some LEO's who do not realise the difference between a HOG patch and other.

I'm pretty sure the Banditos won't mistake your vest with a HOG patch on it for Hells Angels colors.

Let's face it....95% of us don't fit the 1% "Look"......I also have patches on my vest and have NEVER had 1 issue.

It's Bandidos.

Or were you talking about the Frito Bandito and his crew?

By all means excuse me for the gaff. Guess I better start locking the doors and sleeping with a gun for fear of repercussion for the oversight. The BANDIDOS are probably organizing a "ride" to "take care of business" at this very moment. Looking into the witness protection plan as I type this.

I'm from Central Illinois so no local BANDIDOS chapters here, just the Outlaws.
