    I recommend installing a good used rocker. The amount saved by patching one isn't worth the likelihood of it breaking again & having your valve not opening. Especially if you are planning a long ride.

    Hahahaha...if he's ever brought Harley's or anything else from WMCC, maybe! But in my 20 years there, I met some real characters! And some I hope to never see again...

    This thread reminded me, back in the 70s we had our own motorcycle bunch (never got big enough to be a gang - there were only four of us and being impoverished students the worst we scofflaws would do was pick flowers from public gardens to give to the girls who would occasionally deign to pillion...). Then after 'Stone' came out - I think 'twas 75 - we had four vests made complete with rockers at - for those days - enormous, nay, yuuuge expense. Because.

    Believe it or not, in those days there was no Internet (I know huh?) and where we lived there were no actual gangs around to tell us what was etiquette and what was not. We rode with those vests on weekends for a couple of years until we went our separate ways. No way would that vest fit me these days anyway haha. And now? a gang of one isn't really a gang; two of the four are dead (not by bike crashes) and the third is retired in Thailand. Ah, nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

    I do remember reading / hearing of difficulties that HOG groups in occasionally encountered in parts of metro Asia where the official HOG patch was still seen as too close to a rocker, in the 00's. And there was a lot of publicity at the time, about the stand-off between Ulysses and the gangs in Oz; as I recall there were significant threats made against the bodily integrity of outsider rocker-wearers.

    Google the wayback machine - from 2005:
    "A couple of Ulysses bike group were hauled into the Rebels MC to have things clearly explained to them!
    ...Expectations of a quiet face to face meeting with Alex and a few others was quickly dispelled as we walked into a hall full of Rebels all seated awaiting our arrival.
    ...Three seats were already allocated for us facing Alex who was seated with six of his lieutenants, three either side, with the remaining 40 – 50 members behind us. Vic Lesslie and I have been to many meetings in our life for a multitude of reasons and this is the one we will both never ever forget.
    ...We have been told that the actions and directions taken in Canberra regarding Ulysses members not to wear rockers is commendable and the right decision... Another statement made that was also taken note of was a scenario that if three Ulysses Club members were pulled over on the road because one was wearing rockers then all three will be dealt with in the same manner.
    ...All members should be aware of this when riding with any other member foolhardy enough to ride with rockers on their back.

    And more recently

    My non-wet-weather leather riding jacket has a big V8 bike patch on the back which looks nothing like club colors, it's just a V8 bike in profile with no club name - but I had to take it off once I was on the grounds of Harrah's Laughlin couple of years ago. Seems like anything colorful there is seen as 'club colors' after the shootout in the casino.

    Harrah's got successfully sued later

    Rockers are the top and bottom part-circles used on the back of a vest/jacket. Two types of people use rockers: people in gangs, and people who inexplicably want to appear to be in a gang in their spare time.

    Rockers are a very easy way to quickly identify a fuckwit, because they are exclusively worn by fuckwits. Without exception.

    Nah. I know a fair few exceptions to that rule. But to each their own.

    Why would you bother (not saying you do) hanging around dicks like that? It's not like anything good could come out of it and there is a fair chance that something bad could.

    the HOG club is a business, not a club, you pay a yearly fee, or if you want to be a life member, pay ten years worth. never heard of any'Club' doing that

    Patriots MC wears regalia, but it doesn't include rockers. It's all about former military service.

    Back in 2011 we had some guy in the bay who operated tourist rides on his harley. Unfortunately for him some young wannabee who coul;dnt read mistook his emblem/logo/patch for gang colours/rockers.
    Think the young wannabee came off second best in the end....
    Hell I think twice about where i wear my SOA shirt although that seems widely accpeted and practiced. Missus has couple of SOA dresses/skirt things and says she gets afew look stopping to fuel the car up. "Jesus honey /i told you that was bedroom wear!" lol.....
