Would I have a problem with this set-up? Don't want to offend anyone. At 67 years old I can't handle too much of a beating. Haven't sewed this on yet but fix'n to.

I would recommend NOT putting a back patch with any sort of location attached or even near it. That's waving a red flag that says, "This is my territory." While you might ride for years without ever having a problem, you might not ride one day without regretting it.

Just be aware there is a big difference between the usual "riding club" patches and the three part "colors patches" of a real "motorcycle club". In some states all clubs are controlled by the ruling state club, they determine and/or approve the color makeup of the club patch, what is allowed on it, etc. Making up a vest with something on the back that closely resembles a "M/C" vest with club colors on it may be hazardous to your health.
I have a club vest I wear on club rides or when traveling. I have a "poser vest" with a bunch of stupid sayings, IBA ride patches, etc. that I wear when I'm traveling incognito.
I have a couple of those Harley Davidson night vision (reflective) back patches I'd like to put on, just for more visibility at night, but haven't done it yet.
