Me and a couple of buddies went for a ride last week and we walked into a small out of the way bar for a cold beer. They told us we couldn't stay because they didn't allow "Colors".

I have an old brown leather vest with the typical patches from different events that have special meaning to me. The back of the vest just has a typical patch with the top and bottom rockers that say "Live to Ride", "Ride to Live".

We didn't make a big deal out of it and yes I could have taken the vest off and put it in the saddlebag but we just left and went some place else.

I am not a member of any club so I don't consider my vest as "Colors". Is that discrimination or ignorrance?

 

To me that is not colors that is just a patch on a jacket but to uneducated folks all they see is a center patch with a top and bottom rocker thus colors.

Colors in most bars are just that a true MC center patch and rockers and that can be any MC weather it is HOG, Christian bikers or Hells angles they are all colors..........

 

Ignorance...

Flying colors is having MC patch and rockers on jacket, etc

 

Yep...Just the publics perception of colors. Not real knowing what there even looking at.

 

Both

 

I only regard the traditional 3 patches as "Colors".

 

You weren't wearing colors.

 

they are not colors.
these are N.Z. colors

Sounds to me like you did not belong in there anyway,wrong crowd.

 

Most non riding (and probablya lot ofriding) people don't know the difference.
