I can promise you that it would NOT be a good idea. And I would not even consider ASKING for their permission. Just plain old common sense talking here. They don't take these things too lightly.

IMO. Actually, I think this is a good thread. Many motorcycle riders do not understand the seriousness of colors/clubs emblems. Some are just social but some involve a lot more. Always respect and never play with them, sensitivity in certain situations is high.
Word to the wise...
I agree with you. There was a post about wearing colors and some of the members here don't seem to truly understand what colors are. I am not flaming anybody. I would hate to see anybody get their *** whipped just because they wore the wrong thing in the right place

ATC2 you make an extremely relevant point... there is a HUGE difference between a M/C and a R/C. Disrespecting the name or colors of an M/C can take many different directions, most of which the ordinary rider would have no clue about. I heard a story once about some Outlaws being outraged when a paramedic cut the jacket off one of their members after he'd been in a wreck. Blood soaked and all, they were furious that the colors hadn't been handled "properly". Dissin' their name on a t-shirt could only bring pain to the wearer.
Much good advice in this thread. I have respect for all the 1%ers I know, this would definitely be a disrespect. The brotherhood within most clubs is fiercely protected, many years ago I had asked a club member for a patch they wore "I am my brother's keeper" no avail, a long education about what I was asking for ensued. Most clubs have kept a low profile for a good 5 years now, I don't think it's something you really want to enter. Some of the suggestions such as "Grey Angels" would save you a lot of grief. D-Kay
