Default Lone Wolf Patch

I know I'll probably get a lot of crap from some people about this but I thought I ask any way.

I'd like to patch my vest but don't really want to join an M/C or riding club. I like to ride solo or just with my family or friends.

I've seen this "lone wolf / no club" patch some people are wearing and stores are selling.

My question is. Will this get my *** kicked and does wearing this patch make me look like some sort of moron?

Answers to your two questions: Possibly (that could happen at any time for a variety of reasons not even related to your patch) and yes. Ultimately what you put on your clothes is up to you. You personally deal with what happens as the result of your decisions.

Why?
Are you trying to make a statement by "Patching your vest"?
Nobody will care about your "Lone Wolf" Patch or kick yer Butt over it, unless your putting it on to make a statement about what there wearing on there back.. It's about attitude and respect.. Make sense?

I guess I want to show that I'm proud to be a biker but I'd also like it to be known that I'm an independent rider with no affiliations if that makes any sense.

Hey, it's not any cornier than prospecting or having a patch of some "bad azz" club. It has always seemed childish to feel like I need to belong to any club. It reminds me of having dad build me a cool clubhouse and inviting my gradeskool friends to join our club. If they are real 1%er clubs that will kick someone's *** to defend their colors, than they're no better than these common street thugs smoking each other over their colors.

Wouldn't wearing absolutely nothing on your back indicate the same thing?

they would know you're not affiliated by having nothing on your vest...

Nope, makes no sense whatsoever.

How does belonging to a motorcycle club create respect? How does wearing a patch create respect?

Especially towards people who may be criminals?
