I had a vest with patches. Not sure what I was trying to prove or say. I just bought a new, plain vest. Now people have to talk to me to make a decision about me.
Sadly, most ppl don't know the difference between "Badass" and "Dumbass"! If you're set on getting patches......ride for a while and pick up a few here and there at rallys. Otherwise you will look like an urban douche!
To go with your vest, maybe you could get a sign like that other Goober that says "Never mind the dog, beware of the owner". Then you would be almost complete.
