I agree with HonestBob. I do believe a private company/bar has the right to dictate dress codes for their establishment - no colors, shoes to be worn, shirts required, etc. However, I don't believe any government (national, state, local) has the right to prohibit dress in public other than "indecent exposure".
I would take my colors off or avoid a particular bar, but if I want to fly them as I ride, that's my business. I'd definitely be taking a cop to court if they told me to take it off. It's called the First Amendment.

Not a can fan myself by any stretch of the imagination, but what part of microwaving them would be Christian? Seems a bit bipolar to me.

It's going to continue to get worse unless you get involved. Doesn't matter if you're a patch holder or not, get your voice heard. Get involved and make yourself aware through organizations like Bike Pac, NCOM, ABATE, etc.
If you just sit back and think it's only a problem for 3 piece clubs, you are in for a rude awakening in due time.

Read an article last night about up in the Kingman, Mohave area of Arizona. Said the law is stopping a lot of motorcyclists with patches on, just because they have patches, matters not what patches. And they want all the bars to post a No Colors sign to keep the rif raff at church instead of the bars.
I love my patch "Got Motorcycle, F---Therapy". The article didn't say if they were looking for a specific patch, but I hope I don't get hassled for my inoquious patches. I only wear them about 1% of the time anyway.
I know a lot of people don't wear patches, but those that do, and besides the obvious, what are some of YOUR favorite patches?
