Treat everyone with respect and you won't have to worry about making distinctions between whether or not they are gang members. 1% groups are no the only people who take disrespect seriously. Bottom line, act like an *******, you get treated like an *******, no matter who you are dealing with. Ride, enjoy, smile, ride some more and the rest seems to fall into place.

When we see those imitation club patches we just snicker to ouselves and go on.
Now why am i being called a "hangaround" on this forum? Whoever came up with these cute little designations apparently didn't understand that club members who earned patches by working thier butts off don't like being called a prospect or hangaround by an internet biker forum.

You're a 3 piece patch wearing club member and you're concerned about an internet "hang around" designation???

Advise your club officers. Maybe they can apply some pressure to the moderators on your behalf to up your designation to "Extreme Member". Apparently the moderators don't know who they are dealing with, disrespecting you like that.

IMHO Put nothing on a vest that makes a statment about clubs.

A member of a 3 patch club has had to earn the right to that patch, some one could take offence to a statment like that.

Independents, don't need a patch to show they are independents.

As for showing respect, it is just that show respect, and you will be respected, any patch holder will tell you the patch does not make the man, the man makes the patch.

As I sais, just my opinion.

You obviously have not seen the rack of fingerless gloves and chaps at the dealership, have you?

Then there is the whole issue of the do-rag...

Don't wolves run in packs? I'd think if you want to emphasize your lone-ness, you'd get a patch that says "Computer Nerd."

Wear whatever the hell you want. However, if you were a truly independent loner, you would not be seeking this advice on a forum. Lone wolf patch sounds good. I like wolves.

Heck just today I was riding and saw a Harley rider wearing a black leather jacket, black leather gauntlet gloves, do-rag, black leather engineer boots and blue jeans. Typical poser dress according to the hard core forum outlaws. Oops. Wait a minute. That was me.

After what you guys have been through and done for every one, who in there right mind would ARGUE with you guys. Not me, you guys that SERVE have my RESPECT right to the end, and deserve to where what ever you want. You earned it, I SAY A BIG THUMBS UP FOR THE VOODOO 7 MEDICS
