You will be fine. HOG members are just guys/gals who own harleys, like the patches, pay some money to their local dealer and like to get together. They do not enforce anything and will not be upset unless you try to impose your will on their chapter without paying dues. That's not going to happen, so you should never have an issue. No MC will care that you wear a HOG patch with harley and USA written around it, that pretty much suimmarizes 90% of patches available to buy at your local store. These are not 3pp of which clubs are concerned.

Sew your patches, ride your bike in comfort, enjoy and congrats.

Default it's not the patch you wear, but what you ride

Here's my vest .. I'm proud of my Harley and the patches I've collected riding it. I just happened to get caught on a Vespa this day wearing my HOG vest .. ( My grandson was trying to sell me one )

You are clueless.

From the little expierence I've had, it's the bottom rocker that poses the threat. It is your territory patch and states what is your terf. A USA patch is pretty vague so go with it as you feel. If your feelin uneasy lose the bottom rocker and ride on.

I wouldn't worry about it at all, you look like you can take care of yourself...
I think as long as is doesn't say MC, your ok.

That Vespa pic is great. You should've taken one from the front making a tough guy face and giving the finger.

The Patches I wear reflect something I did or went to or a statement of how I feel which includes 2 HOG Patches that was a member those years .. Have no desire to put one on now that let my membership drop .. But leave the ones on that did belong to it at the time ..

The only problem I see that might arise. You should check and see if any of the colors are close to that of the local club. Clubs are not out to tell you what do do or wear. They just do not want someone out posing as a club member. Many will try things such as that to get the respect of such a club. Check around, ask a member, they will show you respect as long as you show them respect.
