I thinkthe point is that people who aren't in a MC and still wear patches, may be trying to reproduce the effect. Possibly.

I just read this whole thread, laughed my butt off at some of the comments, especially from the ones that think people with patches are Dorks,[sm=icon_rofl.gif]my Brothers and I have pretty much been in a lot of states that some of you live in, we have never had anybody walk up and tell us we look like dorks.[sm=icon_sneaky.gif]Gosh, I wonder why that is?but to tell the truth if one ever did, we would probably all break up laughing at him..[sm=happybounce.gif]
Like I have said before,

Let them walk up to a Hells Angel and tell them their patches make them look like Dorks,

I know they would not,[sm=bustedsign.gif]

I have a jean vest with patches from my big trip out west in 2006. They are from the national parks, Deadwood, Badlands, Mount Rushmore, etc., etc. I like looking at them and remembering the trip. I got a patch for the XX Ride to the Wall which we did last year. I don't care for Harley t-shirts much and I don't care for pins much. I am going to start putting my patches for places I have been under glass to display them that way as I don't want to start any more vests. And I don't sew anything on my FXRG.

Do what you want. It doesn't matter to me. For me not patches, no vest.

I was referring to this post:


ORIGINAL: Comfortably Numb

No vest, no patches, never will. If I wanted to look like a dork I'd become a Shriner.
No reference to any club affiliation in the post, just associating vest and patch wearers in general to "DORKS AND SHRINERS"

Can't get any more azzhole than that,

Man, what a bunch of thin-skinned people here! I would guess the comment about shriners looking like dorks is in reference to wearing the hats and riding minibikes in parades. These are some great people (shriners), and they do great things. They are also secure enough to have fun and make others smile (while wearing their hats and riding their minibikes) without worrying about being called a dork. Who cares? God bless 'em. 'Nuff said.

we know all about that, and that is what we are doing, having some fun, lighten up a little..I'm sure we all respect the good that the shriners do, the fact of the matter is my mother-in-law is in a masonic health facitiles as we speak..did I get upset when some body said I was a dork for my pirate vest with patches, or the fact that I wear a patch over my eye, or parrot poop on my left shoulder.[sm=biker.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif]
