Riding in Style with the Best of Biker Patches
It is regularly believed that bikers and those in biker gangs are simply ruffians or bad to the bone men who have little or no reason behind their loud tattoos, regularly vulgar stickers, and several gaudy patches. However, if you look closer and without prejudice, you will find a culture that runs deep with feeling, passion, and brotherhood.
As in any wide spread hobby you will find the good the bad and the ugly. There are riders like the Hell’s Angels who have earned their fame however, becoming way more well known are organized riders like the Patriot Guard Riders who ‘roll’ across country to attend funeral after funeral of our fallen soldiers to out shout those who would make the day worse for the families of these great men and women. Other groups do fund promoting rides for all forms of issues. A friend of this blogger got a medical insulin pump and the surgery required fully paid for from one such biker group.
Each biker patch on the vest of a rider implies something important. In reading about what they mean I found that the top ‘Rocker’ gives your existing area and your bottom rocker brings your state of origin. From there the patches added to a vest signify anything from an accomplishment eg. a cross country ride or exceptional showing at bike week to an event or institution that has been strong in the wearer’s life ie.
� POW issues
� The riders heritage
� and even Animal Cruelty issues
Some patches speak of the individuals rank within his group and will show longevity and leadership capability. A ‘gang’ leader may wear the largest skull, biggest set of wings, or even his personal name to let other bikers know of his accomplishments.
The patches worn by the riders are not different from those used in boy scouts to give boys a sense of belonging and pride in accomplishment. Though bikers’s patches are on a much grander scale and admittedly the rebellious side of insignia, I find it strange that they are seen so poorly for what we encouraged them toward in their youth.
Until today it’s been difficult to choose good artwork for biker patches to be worn on your vest. However currently there is a website with actually great artwork and embroidered patches for you to customize your vest and make your style well-known. Also given on this website are the aforementioned ‘vulgar’ decals and stickers for either a bike or helmet or where ever you think they look best. You can also send in your private design and have a biker patch made to your features. Wholesale biker patches are available online at thecheapplace.com at particularly reasonable costs.
Riding in style is just a few clicks away. If you are looking for biker patches, come check out the options. Embroidered patches are one of the things that separate bikers from just people on bikes.
