But I would suggest you give some of the Boston area chapters a shot.

They always have something going on, even if it's just a ride to Waffle House.

BLINKS... They have waffle houses in Mass?? (joking) ...

In all seriousness... I agree with the ones that are saying to wear your vest with pride. HD is an American bike manufacturer, and if your vest has a lower rocker that says USA.. so be it.

The people I've met in the New Jersey area are all about riding, having fun and being social. If I was up in my old stomping grounds, I'd be in the chapter up there. I'm OFD. (Originally from Dorchester, Mass)
*there's a thought, get an OFD patch for my cut!

I've recently purchased my patches for my HOG vest. Just have to figure out how to use the damn sewing machine. This way if I put them on crooked, I can't blame the OL ..

I thought of making a "prospect" vest ... for the lone wolf no club ...

Hey Timmy, just read you're OFD also! W00t ... HOG members won't be concerned if you're not in a chapter. You can belong to more than one local HOG chapter. The common ground is you have to be an in good standing National member.

Mostly it's a good conversation starter.. We all have the hobby in common.

Amen to that brother!

Lame and uncalled for, but hope you feel better about yourself now.

It's all about respect shown and how one presents theirself. I been around 1% clubs including the dominant 1% and been to their events with no issues. They know who's who in their area and who doesn't belong. If a group of guys sew on a three piece and didn't ask for permission they will be contacted.

Would you even know where to go to be seen by any MC who cares? That stuff is so far under the radar of MCs. You're in less potential trouble than wearing a Red Sox hat in NYC.
If thats the fashion ensemble you want, go for it.
