I wear the leather vest as well, with the patches I like! Its funny to hear, paches, vest and skulls don't represent our motorcycles? You don't speak for me? For me full face helmets, heck helmets period, Kevlar body armor special jackets and paints(maybe if they are leather) with reinforced special armored gloves does not represent my kind of motorcycle riding but I don't think their stupid and I am happy they ride. Maybe I am on the wrong site, evidently bikers, especially Harley riders and those that represent that lifestyle or a sub species? I like the patches...... I like motorcycles, I like the biker lifestyle to a certain extent, excluding extreme immorality and criminal mischief.
