I get that, and appreciate it. My reply was the same, though as we've learned over and over, that doesn't always translate well on an internet forum.
:bch:
Cheers all, now lets quit this silliness and go ride.

Interesting reading there are so many different types of patches Three-piece rockers, one piece consolidated, MC. And 1% you just about have to have a dictionary to figure it all out. But now over here in USA our larger cities you have to watch what color Jacket you have own you get on the wrong part of town with a red jacket or a blue one you could be in trouble it has got plum silly, Everybody wants their territory

Patch
Agree with every one concerning a back patch it's a no go zone. But a front patch would be all right the triumph owners mcc australia patch has been around now for 30 plus years with out any drama's and it's the same for all the other owner's , social club's & touring club's

A single back patch, or club insignia, is not soley the domain of the 1% clubs in Australia.
There are a number of social motorcycle clubs in Australia that have an approved patch that they wear them proudly on the backs of vests and jackets. Clubs like Easyriders SMC, and BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse) in SA have gone about approaching there state UMC's (United Motorcycle Councils) to have a design approved.
Where clubs get into trouble is having a 3 piece design with a central logo and a top & bottom rocker that mimics the 1%er clubs. They have no regard for types of colour used or design that may infringe on copyright.
What some people don't get is the meaning of the colours and just how hard a member of these MC's or CMC's clubs has to work to earn the right to wear the colours of that club.
No wonder clubbies get upset when they see someone that has paid $50 or so to join a club and they get a patch and start acting like king dicks.
I am a member of a CMC that ministers to the 1% clubs, and I can respect the hard work and loyalty that they show to there club and there colours. The bond of brotherhood between the members can only be achieved by years of mateship and loyalty, that no social club can even hope to understand.
Please don't judge these riders unless you truly understand the culture of the MC world.

Spot on Lofty Bob. I personally wear a vest which has a backpatch but it looks nothing like an OMC patch. I have never been challenged to remove it but if I was I would remove it respectively as I mean no disrespect. Their patches are earned and mine are just telling people about myself and my likes and dislikes and where I have been.
Rockers upper and lower and also the MC patch should be avoided. In fact anything that even looks similar may offend.

Jmtcw I don't feel the need to walk around sporting patches pretending to be a clubie I respect what their colours rockers and rollers represent . I just ride my bike cos I love riding not because I want to play dress up. Each to their own I guess but it's about the riding to me not what's sewn to my vest .

May have been the case in clubs 15 or 20 years ago ... not the case in most of the larger outfits now. Like many , don't even know what 1% refers to anymore. Certainly don't mean what it used to ... i know that much.
