A two-piece patch signifies a motorcycle club in transition to an outlaw club, awaiting approval from the outlaw motorcycle clubs to become a three-piece patch.

The Harley Owners Group has a two piece patch and they are not in transition. I have never heard of a confrontation between a 1% outlaw mc and a local HOG chapter. Maybe some one on one disagreements but nothing on a club level.

There is an online only worldwide MC that you can join that has an established membership (www.silentskulls.com). They have a one piece patch that could be mistaken for a 3 piece set but again I haven't heard of any problems.

It does have a lot to do with where you live and your own attitude. I would advise against trying to be what you are not. While imitation is sometimes viewed as the sincerest form of flattery, this doesn't apply to 1%'ers.

i've heard stories of guys with the angel's logo tatted on them that weren't members. angels cut the tat off and kept it as a prize lol

when i first got my savage, it being my first bike, i thought that leather vests were only for harly guys. since i got one that i can carry with, that notion is out the window. i was just wondering what everyone else's take was on it.

i did a little asking around, and have seen a couple of other mc's that aren't huge. one being the black pistons, they looked like the real deal.

and i found a 99% patch, i thought it was hilarious but not sure how they would take it!

Wear your vest and put all the small patches on that you want especially if they are patriotic/veteran patches. The '1%', 'MC' and rockers are the ones that could get you into trouble. the rest are fine. If you are in doubt, ask some one that is in a MC for advice. I belong to Bikers Against Child Abuse and have a back patch and other patches on my vest. The only patch that had to be approved by the MC's was the big back patch.

Rocco have you ever thought about the "Bikers against Child Abuse"?
I've always heard great things about them.
And I was thinking you were partial to children.Wasnt that you that said that? Undecided

But with your Karate type training....it would work well.
Just to be feared by the abuser Wink

(Not that you would ever be involved in any type fighting.)

Just a thought. Plus bet it would be a good bunch of guys to be around

Heck,I need to join that group Grin

For real

freespirit u are correct!! i teach the kids class, and i've become a problem solver for all the kids who have it tough emotionally. i have alot of personal experience with this and i'm thrilled when i can help someone else!

thank u 12bravo!! the orlando branch is the closest to me, and i agree with everything they stand for. unfortunately i don't have alot of free time, so i'm not sure how much use i would be.

i'm an honorary member of the guardian angels, if anyone remembers them from up north in the subways. my instructor is one for a very long time, and personal friends with curtis sliwa. my sparring instructor is the chapter head down here, i might see what he has patch wise.

i just want it to be something legit, and for a good cause!

The patch and rockers on the back of the vest DJ posted denotes a member of an "Owners Group" (and SOC Veteran Riders Group). I also belong to the Suzuki Owners Club, NA, and I have not encountered any trouble whatsoever wearing my patches. The Suzuki Owners Club is fairly new and is similiar to what the Harleys Owners Group is to Harley Owners. Information on joining can be found at www.suzukiownersclub.org I'd love to have more Savage riders join me at the Rallys (they're a blast!). Any "Biker Club/Motorcycle gang member knows the difference between them and an "Owners Club". "Owners Club" members, like the general public, do not usually encounter trouble with Bikers/Motorcycle Gang members unless they are disrespectful in some way. Common sense, and common courtesy, speak volumes louder than an "Owners Club" patch/rocker. Cool

impersonation and bad patch design are 2 different matters, but certainly worth remembering.

Reply #28 - 10/14/09 at 17:43:06 If you get hooked up with a owners club or riders club or even just get a OC or RC patch you will be ok as long as you don't have double rockers on the back of your vest. The 1%'s tend to leave the owner and rider clubs alone cause they are more civilized and no real threat to the hard core motorcycle clubs.

good deal!! i see them all over, although the higher ranking guys now drives porsches and wear suits(less cop attention) i'd rather not aggravate for no reason. a vest is not worth me getting shot over lol

i heard there was a club down here that flat blacks everything including the forks and bars, and one has an ammo box installed....lets hope they see my single and notice it's not a v-twin Grin
