IMHO, I would not want to have to explain that to someone that thought differently (while I still had teeth in my head). Better safe than sorry.

 

I agree, but give a club member more credit - he would see the H-D shield and lack of rockers and label the guy a poser and leave well enough alone.

 

I wouldn't count on that. Would you? Surely, there's an HA member here, or a member that knows one or two. Ask them about it. They'll tell you right away if they do, or do not, take offense to it.

More importantly though. Some other club may take it as supporting the HA. That can cause you just as many problems.

 

Umm, yep...

 

Well, I'm gonna wear it, and I'm not that worried about it

 

Most of the time, if they see something like that, they'll pull it. So, if you sew it on your vest, they'll want your vest. And they'll take whatever you have in it.

Then they'll show it at a meeting, and people will get a nice letter about trademark infringement.

You can wear what you want. But I'd hate to be in your shoes if it comes down to it. They probably won't hit you. But they'll let you know that they're taking it one way or another.

JMO, of course. And I am not a patch. Just a casual observer. But if it was up to me, I'd say it wouldn't be worth pitching a log onto that fire.

 

I'm gonna leave well enough alone on this. It's close enough, and honestly I have enough respect for the M/C guys to not wear it. If you do, I am not knockin you, I am just thinking I myself don't want to mess with anyones well earned pride.

Just my .02

 

You go Shuey! There's paranoia running rampant here.

I witnessed a member of an infamous M/C take a picture of another guy's cut 'cause it was apparently an unknown club. The dude had the rockers and all. There was no brawl even though this guy was easily outnumbered. True, it may come back to haunt his and his club's a$$ later...

The patch that Shumacher wants to wear is no where near an indication of club affiliation.

Some of you guys need to step out into the light.. Sometimes it's OK to drink the water..

 

The last time I was up your way, which was a long, long time ago.
There were the Dayton Saton's, Outlaws, and Renagade's.
And I think the Black Panther's had a chapter also.
Like I said...A long time ago.

 

That is a cool patch you have. In my opinion, you should have no
problem if you wear it with no rockers.
That's just me.....
