Patches You Should Stay Away From and patches that are cool.Let's talk about it! 1%er Patch Meanings I Patches You Should Not Wear👉ruclips.net/video/wVwplkKi5z0/видео.html&ab_channel=DemonsRow
Hey sose...I'm in no way hatting...just curious what has made the mask at this time the price that it is? I know inflation is a real bitch...but what has made the mask cost a C note or what I like to call a orange feather? And I say that cause a C note, which to those that don't know is a 100 dollar bill, but all C notes have a orange feather on it. With that said...I have an ideas of why that might be...it seems tougher or looks tougher than your low level things that might look good but is cheaper materials. It also looks like the strap mylight be leather too...and as well I know your in a different location than me. Me being outta Dallas and the TX area I know there is goin to be a much different number on the economic side of things. In just always try to expand my mind on things and or the current situation around me and what I am involved in....when one has proper knowledge they ride with precision and solid form...as well as help those around them do the same...if the other doesn't want to be the dumb potato in the group. That said keep ridin like pro. #ghostin
I saw way too many Sons of the Legion members of the Am. Legion Rider wearing military insignias of rank, both patches and pins on their vests they did not earn! They said they were wearing them in tribute to their Dad/Grandpa/uncle/relative. I immediately ended my membership in the Am. Legion!
@@pb68slab18 Yep, before I joined CVMA, I was and still am so careful not to wear something that I hadn't earned or the CVMA sanctioned. I had research several Associations and Clubs before joining CVMA, but it drove me batty seeing folks wearing patches, I know that "THEY" did not earn.
The absolute worst thing you can do, as far as veterans are concerned, is stolen valor. Other things non-veterans should avoid is Medal Of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart or the Combat Infantryman's Badge.
Given not earned Earned is something your proud of, believe me it aint nothing to be proud of bussing yo ass on bike. But i personally know what you meant my bros will laugh if you come up and say look what i earned and its a i fell on my bike patch. Be safe out there!
@@tonyvelez1821 I certainly earned mine! I didn't fall down or crash on my own. I got hit by some asshole swerving to miss some critter (dog?deer?). I spent months in the hospital and years rehabbing until I could walk and ride again.
@@pb68slab18 who gave you that patch, those is one of the few patches you dont want. That broken wing patch we dont like. Ive seen them "crashing sucks" patches on sale and wonder why would anyone buy it to put it on really
@@tonyvelez1821 You didn't get broken wings for crashing you got broken wings for not quitting riding but got back on the bike again. I have been riding for 52 years and I now if you ride a lot you will go down at less ones
even being in the scene i love watching these videos aimed at the newer riders. most people that make these kinda videos dont know wtf they talking about but you are always spot on. much love sose
I'm a Canadian Vet of 8 years. I personnally would never wear rockers on my back. I have an ace of spades on my side and a small skull and crossbones at the nape of my neck. Veteran on my sleeve. Army on the other. Probably the farthest l'd go. I'm proud, but not looking for problems. I dig your channel.
Great advise as always. As 43 yrs on 2 wheels, the only advice I will give to new riders...if you are unsure..ask. Don't just 'do' and hope for the best. The key word in all of this, is 'perception'. As it is with non-biker society as well, it usually doesn't matter your intent, but the perception (by others) of your actions. Too many get themselves in trouble because they can't read a situation/individual or room. Life revolves around perception.. Cheers Always great vids/info...
GHOSTIN. Brother Sose, thank you for the time and work that you put in to educate new riders on MC protocols. You sir are saving a lot of folks from getting a bashed head. Those who do not heed the warnings are taking a huge risk and deserve the consequences for their actions. Keep it real my brother, stay safe and keep delivering the word. God bless you brother and Ghost On! ML&R.
You know same old same old just turned into New beginnings for a peaceful relaxing future for everybody on this Earth to be peaceful and enjoy they're very short time on this Earth 🌎 that was made as an inhabitants for all of us in the Lord of hosts name through this sun to the Father in TheTruths Big Voice amen. .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I ride a bike because I like riding bikes. I don't need to belong to an MC. I don't wear patches because I don't feel the need to be bound by the crazyshit 'rules' that these guys think are necessary. Grow up, for f*ck sake. PS ... I do like your vids bro!
SOSE your patch protocol explanation has been very clearly stated and to those new riders please take notice and your future riding days will be more enjoyable .
It's funny, I'm a 42 year old disabled vet, walk around with a cane and almost always paranoid, yet when I get around a group of bikers, either seeing them in the street or walking into a store full of bikers, I've never felt safer. Respect to the clubs.
I’ve never in my 60 years seen a 1%fail to give a vet a hug,hands on colours or not. Yes ,it’s a sign of respect to not touch the patch, but some clubs/members will make the exception.
@@Jack-wi5qr yep, exactly this. They may be some scary dudes, but man are they respectful. Don't mess with them and they won't mess with you. Be respectful and they will br respectful.

Thank you for this video. I've been riding since I finished my military service in 2011 at age 22. I'm 34 now and have been wearing a plain black vest for years. But just recently decided I really want to start adding patches to it as an expression of my life and experiences. I've been hesitant because I don't want to offend or disrespect anyone involved in an MC. Because I was involved with the Iron Order MC as a hangaround for a short time. But having seen this I feel much more comfortable wearing a three piece US Air Force back patch. Thank you brother
You keep it extremely real which is very important and really needed amongst a brotherhood as seriously taken as bikers all over the world people need to know the rules if they are going to play the game
Etiquette and being polite goes a long way. I have a EGA ( Eagle, Globe and Anchor) top rocker is Desert Storm Vet. Bottom rocker, Artillery ( my job in the Marines) Front over my heart are my ribbons, that I was awarded. Other side front, My the Marine Division patches. (3rd Marine Division, 1st Marine Division, 2nd Marine Division) I was getting gas one day and I heard "Take that f'ng patch off" I looked around and saw two dudes coming towards me. "Take off that diamond patch" Two against one, I was out numbered and they didnt look like they were happy. I took off my vest laid it on my bike, took out my knife and was about to cut off My 1st Marine Division patch ( Blue diamond with a red 1). One of the guys asked, " You a Vet?" Me: "yes," told him when and where I served and even showed him My Vet ID card. Dude then says "Keep the patch, you earned it" I told him that "I meant no disrespect" From there we talked for about 15-20 mins. I learned alot that day, and they learned as well.... they even invited me for a beer, but the is a story for another time.
@@alanmeyers3957 WTF you talking about????? what patch???? I quit the Am.Legion Riders when I saw members who were 'Sons of the Legion' wearing military decorations on their vest, even though they were not vets. They said they wore them in honor of (place relative here). And when an ALR officer I complained to told me that my military service didn't mean squat in the Am.Legion, I said AMF!
Best advice I got for the new riders, 99% of the time if we had a talk about why/what’s up with your colors, if they showed some respect, we’d point them in the right direction for approval or advice on why not to wear something….btw military clubs always get a pass, but other military clubs might have issues if you grab their name or center
My dad and brother are both members of 1%ers and 13. Thanks to them I grew up in the biker communities, and have learned a ton. As a Marine Veteran who also wears a cut when I ride. Out of respect for my family's MCs, I got my patches custom made in their colors, as a sign of respect and support. But just like a guy earlier in the comments I too am 1 Marine Division and sport my Divisions diamond patch. And since I earned it, they let me keep it. Luckily for me the everytime I ride one of my family is with me. I would never ever disrespect any MC. You are spot on about the rules. ErrRah Semper Fi
There is one exception I can think of to the mc patches rule and that is if a club member gifts a patch to you. You'll probably be asked where you got it and why, and then that will probably be checked in to but if a patch is gifted to you it's generally not an issue for you to wear it.
@Demons Row I understand, I wasn't disagreeing at all. That was just an additional detail I thought of while watching. I'm with a club in Texas and that's a pretty regular occurrence here.
I live in Toronto Canada I watch a lot of Biker News you're I like to say you're amazing I love your programs you can write to the point and your Vise people on proper writing patches and clubs I enjoy your programs I hope you never stopped stay safe ride safe God bless you
I e learned a few things today. But yes like GMA was almost in a lot of trouble for patches and not announcing themselves and what they stand for for them. Yes respect kept everything cool.
Another thing you might mention is stickers on your bike. Back 30+ years ago after I retired from the military, I was riding 20K miles a year and hung out with a lot of bikers when I lived in Ohio. I got to be friends with a lot of Outlaws and one of them gave me a small sticker that said "Support your local Outlaws". He said that would let them know I was a friend and to leave me alone. I made sure I removed it when I moved out west to Angels territory. Not sure if they still do that now but having one of those on your bike is a good way to get noticed by unfriendly types, so let riders know to watch where you ride and what is on your bike..
(3:00) Proper punctuation is the key to good writing. Remember these three rules and soon you'll be writing like a champ! 👍🏾 The apostrophe has three uses: 1. To form possessive nouns 2. To show the omission of letters 3. To indicate plurals of letters, numbers, and symbols. * Do not use apostrophes to form noun plurals that are not possessives.
When I was a kid I was told I can’t wear a 1% ring cuz I gotta be a real one ! A Big Dawg ! And to do that i gotta earn it. And the tests vary cuz there real tests and there tests that a lot of people just wont go through with it and will never complete. When I was a kid I didn’t understand them but now grown up I understand. I’ll just keep that part of my life with them as a good memory. I’ll miss you guys wherever you are.
Keep informing the new riders. Especially those thinking about faking the funk hopefully they’ll make no mistakes that could get them into a bad situation
Sose, thank you. You're (as far as I know) the first, and only, MC content creator that's brought up the difference between a 3p and a diamond. I've been trying to explain it for years, and usually get confused looks in return.
Take time for to build out a cut. Club patches have the deepest meaning no doubt. Make all the patches have some significance, benchmark, or trial. You will respect yourself for earning.
#Ghostin Sose, you have covered this before but it always needs to be covered again.. as you said in the video, RESPECT is earned, as a close friend of a now defunct/patched over MC, respect is everything and the patches that members of MCs or 1% clubs wear come with alot of blood, sweat and tears to get, they are not to be taken lightly and for the newbies out there, think before you put ANYTHING that represents a MC on you vest or jacket. just because you can buy them doesnt mean you should wear them, ive see lots of guys get there eyes dotted for a lot less. ML&R Sose, Cheers from the Great White North
You always present a great podcast. Question, I was a member of a motorcycle club while stationed in Holland with the military called the “Ghostriders”. A few years ago I was told they were patched over by the Hells Angels. Do you know of anyway to verify this.?
Thank you Sose for this one! New riders need to know. Wearing what you haven’t earned is just like Stolen Valor to a veteran. New riders can either feel safe or threatened around clubs by their own actions. Clubs just reflect what that new rider does or says. As an independent rider, if I wore any patches, they would be either veteran or sports themed. #ghostin
I like the videos they make sense and will keep some people out of trouble. I learn a lot from your channel. Keep up the great work. I like the keyboard warrior graphic it was funny.
If i spend money on a jacket, and decide to put a name and logo on it, and someone tells me to Take it off, he better hope I'm not standing with a gas pump, cause his world is gonna get fvkn bright.
Mine are all veteran patches that I've earned and what's in my heart and some funny ones I was told these guidelines years ago and never had a problem with the clubs
I guess I'm the odd man out here. l always hear this give respect earn respect mantra, but my experience so far has been nothing but being on the receiving end of rude and disrespectful treatment from the biker community, especially from the Harley riders, of which I am one. Attending various events and rides in my area in an attempt to meet new people and hook up with other riders has only been met with cold indifference, and in one case outright hostility towards me at a poker run hosted by a ministry club of all things, to not even being able to get the smaller independent shops to service my bike. It feels like because I'm not already part of some group I've been shut out, but cant seem to make any inroads to finding others to ride with. Makes it pretty difficult to want to be part of this community because I love to ride. Been doing it for years and do it every chance I get but ffs some of the most intolerable people I've ever met have been bikers.
speaking of. Im hoping that there is no claim to a good old skull and cross sword Jolly Roger right? my biggest fear is putting on a sticker like a standard pirate flag, and then having some biker with an ego try and use my naivety on the subject to start a problem I wasn’t looking for in the first place.
I always love your videos, so much good information. I'm not in an MC, but I'd like to support your channel by buying a Ghostavelli mask. Would that be disrespectful for me to wear it when riding here in Central Florida? The last thing I wanna do is be disrespectful to anyone.
One of my employees thought it was cool to wear a 3 piece patch that she bought off wish. I gave her fair warning that someone one day could take that patch off her back. Advised her just not to wear it.
I have one vest with 47 patches on it. Looks like a colorful piece of art. I made it years back before all the internet awareness. The front and sides are Air Force Vet, names of all my Harley motors through the years, and various humorous patches. The back is a top rocker says "HARLEY DAVIDSON" . Bottom rocker says "MOTORCYCLES". The center is a large Harley #1 with a very small "Michigan" sewn across it. There is no MC patch. It basically is a three piece, but was never meant to be disrepectfull or offensive. Just a decoration of the brand I love. Been riding since 1964 and am 73 years old. A bit confused ? Your comments are welcome. Much respect. SOSE, should I leave it hung in my cave?
Absolutely on point especially with a diamond 1% patch. people who do not know just don't want to bring that kind of attention to themselves not just a diamond 1% but any diamond patch. even 99 MCs do not want to have anything to do with wearing a Diamond 1% patch Due to it just brings the wrong kind of attention mostly by LEO. if you are greeting a Brother wearing their colors with a hand shake and hug then touching their patch on a Kutt is unavoidable and not thought of as disrespectful. it would be very foolish to wear any MC trademarked logo, Top Rocker or territory rocker is just plain dumb. double trouble, from law enforcement and MC members.
Even in the music scene the jam band scene there are certain pins and patches others can not wear ..it took me 20 yrs to get my bottom rocker but had my top rocker and middle patch now with Florida rocker....
Hey Sose, could you please maybe pass the word for this Every MC (even 1%) they have clubhouses, I know in Detroit they are respected, maybe the members have a beef with the local LEO, please don't include the building inspectors with LEO. All they want is to make sure the clubs are compliant, HVAC, plumbing, exit doors, flooring (support not rotted) they don't care what goes on in the clubs, they just wanna make sure the structure is safe. Thanks and Everyone remember: Look out for the riders!!! They also ride the roads!
My Dad was USAF and served 20+ years through Nam, Korea, and his own personal demons. He took his life 4 days after my birthday and I love and miss him dearly. He was my hero. Would it be okay if I had a small patch that read, "Proud Daughter - USAF"? I would never want to offend anyone who served; I just want to show my love for the amazing man I called "Dad." Thank you, Désirée
As a pilot, I’d love to have my pilot call sign put on my cut. In addition to this, I am no longer a prospect of the traditional MC I once was. I never got blacklisted, and I left peacefully and respectfully with no issues due to the nature of my job as an aviator. Would it be appropriate for me to put a standard full size Harley Davidson bar and shield Logo on the back of my cut with no top or bottom rockers?
You covered us Vets well. It was sparked by a ton of war stock Harley's and guys coming home from WWII. We needed the brotherhood coming home and the adrenaline. Hollisters picture gave it some creedence. I am looking at 3 MC cuts and a RG. Lots of good stuff going on in AZ. Iraq and multiple other places Vet. I refuse to prospect. I already know what I need to do. Save that shit for the new guys. 23 years on HD. I learned all the right and wrong to know. Bring up passing patches on the highway sometime. That can cause a ton of problems.
@@DemonsRow far as i know we will be wearing our riding club cut, it does not have a bottom rocker,I am still prospecting and they gave me the task on the ? asked.. appreciate the reply, sitttin twos ..
Youll never have more fun than you do when you're with a group of three piece patches and 1%ers, and boy let me tell you, they show you what loyalty really is. Nine times out of 10, a 1% will pretty respectfully ask you to remove a patch if he sees that you're a new rider. Just do it man, you'll have a lot more fun hanging out and earning it than you ever will just buying it.
So the three piece is only approved clubs, who approves of the club? The outlaw clubs will wear a three piece if they choose to? Sounds like a rule of thumb, but no one knows who made the rule.
I understand and respect the MC brotherhood out there and will never wear their patches. They guard and highly revere their colors as well they should. They don't hand them out to just anyone. Totally understandable. I feel the same about the U.S. Marine Corps Eagle, Globe and Anchor. I earned the right to wear and brandish the EGA through successfully completing boot, ITR and being a combat Vietnam War Veteran. I believe the MCs memberhood feels the same about "posers" and stolen valor scabs like I do. Ride on MC brothers.
IDK if you've ever made a video that explains the different "levels" in club types and how to tell which is more your style. Like motorcycle associations, RC, MC, and 1% Clubs. Ministries, veterans, women's MC, etc. I think it would be a good video because I'm in a club featured in this video. We've had women/leo ask to join, and we explain we're an MC. Our state veteran motorcycle association is more their style. I just think there's a good chance to explain to those not familiar with how this world breaks down and help them find out what best fits them

I have a EGA ( Eagle, Globe and Anchor) top rocker is Desert Storm Vet. Bottom rocker, Artillery ( my job in the Marines) Front over my heart are my ribbons, that I was awarded. Other side front, My the Marine Division patches. (3rd Marine Division, 1st Marine Division, 2nd Marine Division)

There is one exception I can think of to the mc patches rule and that is if a club member gifts a patch to you. You'll probably be asked where you got it and why, and then that will probably be checked in to but if a patch is gifted to you it's generally not an issue for you to wear it.
i need to be clearer this isnt and indictment on patches its just territory's and diamonds stuff that people get hurt over
@Demons Row I understand, I wasn't disagreeing at all. That was just an additional detail I thought of while watching. I'm with a club in Texas and that's a pretty regular occurrence here.
I live in Toronto Canada I watch a lot of Biker News you're I like to say you're amazing I love your programs you can write to the point and your Vise people on proper writing patches and clubs I enjoy your programs I hope you never stopped stay safe ride safe God bless you
God bless appreciate you
I e learned a few things today. But yes like GMA was almost in a lot of trouble for patches and not announcing themselves and what they stand for for them. Yes respect kept everything cool.
Much love
Another thing you might mention is stickers on your bike. Back 30+ years ago after I retired from the military, I was riding 20K miles a year and hung out with a lot of bikers when I lived in Ohio. I got to be friends with a lot of Outlaws and one of them gave me a small sticker that said "Support your local Outlaws". He said that would let them know I was a friend and to leave me alone. I made sure I removed it when I moved out west to Angels territory. Not sure if they still do that now but having one of those on your bike is a good way to get noticed by unfriendly types, so let riders know to watch where you ride and what is on your bike..
very true
(3:00) Proper punctuation is the key to good writing. Remember these three rules and soon you'll be writing like a champ! 👍🏾
The apostrophe has three uses:
1. To form possessive nouns
2. To show the omission of letters
3. To indicate plurals of letters, numbers, and symbols.
* Do not use apostrophes to form noun plurals that are not possessives.
When I was a kid I was told I can’t wear a 1% ring cuz I gotta be a real one ! A Big Dawg ! And to do that i gotta earn it. And the tests vary cuz there real tests and there tests that a lot of people just wont go through with it and will never complete. When I was a kid I didn’t understand them but now grown up I understand. I’ll just keep that part of my life with them as a good memory. I’ll miss you guys wherever you are.
Sose i love it when put out information like this, as to educate new riders. Keep up the good work.
Much respect
Legend dude from Scotland here man stay safe stay up stay strong all ridersbof the 2 wheels wonderous moves the soul 🤟😎
Much love
Keep informing the new riders. Especially those thinking about faking the funk hopefully they’ll make no mistakes that could get them into a bad situation
Appreciate you
Love what ya doing much love and much respect from Bakersfield California
Much love
I don’t ride bikes but your videos are super informative and interesting I appreciate what you do!
I only wear heavy metal and death metal patches on my vest
#GHOSTIN. Thanks for doing what you do, and for recognizing those of us who are Veterans.
Thank you for your service brother
@@DemonsRowno club, but I have an A.C.A.B patch as well as a 1312 snicker on my helmet, to diamond clubs will there be any issue?
Sose, thank you. You're (as far as I know) the first, and only, MC content creator that's brought up the difference between a 3p and a diamond.
I've been trying to explain it for years, and usually get confused looks in return.
Appreciate you
Take time for to build out a cut. Club patches have the deepest meaning no doubt. Make all the patches have some significance, benchmark, or trial. You will respect yourself for earning.
Truth
Thanks for the great info!! Love your show! 😊
Thank you love
Honestly I think MC's are gonna be the only place veterans are respected these days.
#Ghostin Sose, you have covered this before but it always needs to be covered again.. as you said in the video, RESPECT is earned, as a close friend of a now defunct/patched over MC, respect is everything and the patches that members of MCs or 1% clubs wear come with alot of blood, sweat and tears to get, they are not to be taken lightly and for the newbies out there, think before you put ANYTHING that represents a MC on you vest or jacket. just because you can buy them doesnt mean you should wear them, ive see lots of guys get there eyes dotted for a lot less. ML&R Sose, Cheers from the Great White North
Much love
👍
My favorite badge is on my right front vest pocket and reads "BEER IS FOOD".
The most important thing about your patches is that HD rainbow rocking
Lol
Don't know, not sure when going to a bar or similar... Remove your cut until you know who's who and what's what!
Good Show Sose, before you put a patch on your back, DON'T Patch Territory without checking with the dominate MC or suffer the consequences #ghostin
Def jack #ghostin
Reaching out and I know that every time I try this hard I get shut and cut off
Very, well said. Thank you sir.
Thank you diamond
You always present a great podcast. Question, I was a member of a motorcycle club while stationed in Holland with the military called the “Ghostriders”. A few years ago I was told they were patched over by the Hells Angels. Do you know of anyway to verify this.?
this is good educated material Sose, thank you for sharing it with us new riders
Appreciate
Thank you for laying out the etiquette about the Military patches
Much respect and thank you for your service
🍻To the foam Brother! Navy AO & aircrew here!

Thank you Sose for this one! New riders need to know. Wearing what you haven’t earned is just like Stolen Valor to a veteran. New riders can either feel safe or threatened around clubs by their own actions. Clubs just reflect what that new rider does or says. As an independent rider, if I wore any patches, they would be either veteran or sports themed. #ghostin
I like the videos they make sense and will keep some people out of trouble. I learn a lot from your channel. Keep up the great work. I like the keyboard warrior graphic it was funny.
Never sit on someone's bike or touch someone else bike
If i spend money on a jacket, and decide to put a name and logo on it, and someone tells me to Take it off, he better hope I'm not standing with a gas pump, cause his world is gonna get fvkn bright.
Mine are all veteran patches that I've earned and what's in my heart and some funny ones I was told these guidelines years ago and never had a problem with the clubs
Wearing a 1% patch is a good way to test your interpersonal and fighting skills
Regarding “Supporting Local MC” merch, is there any rule that might be a source of trouble?
If your around there rivals
I guess I'm the odd man out here. l always hear this give respect earn respect mantra, but my experience so far has been nothing but being on the receiving end of rude and disrespectful treatment from the biker community, especially from the Harley riders, of which I am one. Attending various events and rides in my area in an attempt to meet new people and hook up with other riders has only been met with cold indifference, and in one case outright hostility towards me at a poker run hosted by a ministry club of all things, to not even being able to get the smaller independent shops to service my bike. It feels like because I'm not already part of some group I've been shut out, but cant seem to make any inroads to finding others to ride with. Makes it pretty difficult to want to be part of this community because I love to ride. Been doing it for years and do it every chance I get but ffs some of the most intolerable people I've ever met have been bikers.
Sees baby alone in the desert. “ Hey you’re spilling all over the seats!!” 😂
I’ve bought support stickers from my local MC before so I should be good to rock them
speaking of. Im hoping that there is no claim to a good old skull and cross sword Jolly Roger right? my biggest fear is putting on a sticker like a standard pirate flag, and then having some biker with an ego try and use my naivety on the subject to start a problem I wasn’t looking for in the first place.
I always love your videos, so much good information. I'm not in an MC, but I'd like to support your channel by buying a Ghostavelli mask. Would that be disrespectful for me to wear it when riding here in Central Florida? The last thing I wanna do is be disrespectful to anyone.
No club affiliation its just a motorcycle mask
I like the way you educate people.
Appreciate you
Two patch I always was curious about angel wing on the sleeves of jackets and the rose patch.
One of my employees thought it was cool to wear a 3 piece patch that she bought off wish. I gave her fair warning that someone one day could take that patch off her back. Advised her just not to wear it.
Thanks for a great video. I will always remember your advice!!!✌👊😎
I have one vest with 47 patches on it. Looks like a colorful piece of art. I made it years back before all the internet awareness. The front and sides are Air Force Vet, names of all my Harley motors through the years, and various humorous patches. The back is a top rocker says "HARLEY DAVIDSON" . Bottom rocker says "MOTORCYCLES". The center is a large Harley #1 with a very small "Michigan" sewn across it. There is no MC patch. It basically is a three piece, but was never meant to be disrepectfull or offensive. Just a decoration of the brand I love. Been riding since 1964 and am 73 years old. A bit confused ? Your comments are welcome. Much respect. SOSE, should I leave it hung in my cave?
Much Love from Colorado. Thank you.
Much love
Absolutely on point especially with a diamond 1% patch.
people who do not know just don't want to bring that kind of attention to themselves not just a diamond 1% but any diamond patch.
even 99 MCs do not want to have anything to do with wearing a Diamond 1% patch Due to it just brings the wrong kind of attention mostly by LEO.
if you are greeting a Brother wearing their colors with a hand shake and hug then touching their patch on a Kutt is unavoidable and not thought of as disrespectful.
it would be very foolish to wear any MC trademarked logo, Top Rocker or territory rocker is just plain dumb.
double trouble, from law enforcement and MC members.
Hey man 👊🏻🍻
Sry about my ing.
Can i use a patch on my back
Saying " Respect ALL Fear NONE"
Monster videos bro keep it up 👊🏻
Dont know if you have done one on these already or not, but one explaining the different MC patch types. Such as MC, MA, VMC, RMC, RC, and whatnot.
I hope my veteran plates will help keep me safe.
This is real education awesome shout out to vets
Appreciate you
You can buy merch from clubs they have support shirts and hoodies
18wheeling ghostin thumbs up 👍
My brother
Even in the music scene the jam band scene there are certain pins and patches others can not wear ..it took me 20 yrs to get my bottom rocker but had my top rocker and middle patch now with Florida rocker....
Informative as always. Thanks
Appreciate you
Hey Sose, could you please maybe pass the word for this
Every MC (even 1%) they have clubhouses, I know in Detroit they are respected, maybe the members have a beef with the local LEO, please don't include the building inspectors with LEO. All they want is to make sure the clubs are compliant, HVAC, plumbing, exit doors, flooring (support not rotted) they don't care what goes on in the clubs, they just wanna make sure the structure is safe.
Thanks and Everyone remember:
Look out for the riders!!! They also ride the roads!
Because many clubs have mostly veterans, at least the ones I've been around and the one I'm a member of!
My Dad was USAF and served 20+ years through Nam, Korea, and his own personal demons. He took his life 4 days after my birthday and I love and miss him dearly. He was my hero. Would it be okay if I had a small patch that read, "Proud Daughter - USAF"? I would never want to offend anyone who served; I just want to show my love for the amazing man I called "Dad." Thank you, Désirée
As a pilot, I’d love to have my pilot call sign put on my cut. In addition to this, I am no longer a prospect of the traditional MC I once was. I never got blacklisted, and I left peacefully and respectfully with no issues due to the nature of my job as an aviator. Would it be appropriate for me to put a standard full size Harley Davidson bar and shield Logo on the back of my cut with no top or bottom rockers?
You covered us Vets well. It was sparked by a ton of war stock Harley's and guys coming home from WWII.
We needed the brotherhood coming home and the adrenaline. Hollisters picture gave it some creedence.
I am looking at 3 MC cuts and a RG. Lots of good stuff going on in AZ.
Iraq and multiple other places Vet. I refuse to prospect. I already know what I need to do. Save that shit for the new guys.
23 years on HD. I learned all the right and wrong to know.
Bring up passing patches on the highway sometime. That can cause a ton of problems.
Much respect
Could a SCC patch get me in trouble? SCC = scooter club!
I’ve been asked to find what patch to wear when traveling theu other states that lets other mc’s know you are neutral and or just passing thru.
They will know unlessyour wearing club style backpatches
@@DemonsRow far as i know we will be wearing our riding club cut, it does not have a bottom rocker,I am still prospecting and they gave me the task on the ? asked..
appreciate the reply, sitttin twos ..
Youll never have more fun than you do when you're with a group of three piece patches and 1%ers, and boy let me tell you, they show you what loyalty really is. Nine times out of 10, a 1% will pretty respectfully ask you to remove a patch if he sees that you're a new rider. Just do it man, you'll have a lot more fun hanging out and earning it than you ever will just buying it.
So the three piece is only approved clubs, who approves of the club? The outlaw clubs will wear a three piece if they choose to? Sounds like a rule of thumb, but no one knows who made the rule.
Support patches are a big one too! Be sure to check around your area before you just start rocking support gear.
truth
Avmc my dad's in this mc I never expected to see it in any of your videos lol cool
Much respect
New rider here, thank you for the info. What about a vest with a 3 piece patch in the back that just says Harley Davidson?
Like I said I always got told if I needed help I could ask
I'm seat out and look for but not scared I would really appreciate someone commenting that I could speak to you without the internet
Demonsrow@gmail.com
I understand and respect the MC brotherhood out there and will never wear their patches. They guard and highly revere their colors as well they should. They don't hand them out to just anyone.
Totally understandable. I feel the same about the U.S. Marine Corps Eagle, Globe and Anchor. I earned the right to wear and brandish the EGA through successfully completing boot, ITR and being a combat Vietnam War Veteran.
I believe the MCs memberhood feels the same about "posers" and stolen valor scabs like I do.
Ride on MC brothers.
Dankeschön An Alle Menschen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
IDK if you've ever made a video that explains the different "levels" in club types and how to tell which is more your style. Like motorcycle associations, RC, MC, and 1% Clubs. Ministries, veterans, women's MC, etc. I think it would be a good video because I'm in a club featured in this video. We've had women/leo ask to join, and we explain we're an MC. Our state veteran motorcycle association is more their style. I just think there's a good chance to explain to those not familiar with how this world breaks down and help them find out what best fits them
Thats a great idea
Have a good evening.
B safe.
I hope to hear from someone...
And, OH YEAH..."WE GHOSTN' BABY!
#ghostin
… thank’s for the heads-up… keepin’ the ego in check in the pacific northwest… peace…

Is it safe to have a “no club” bottom rocker?
