Gangs & Patches

[scumdog]

It would be good if we all wore patches - it would take the 'sting' out of gangs wearing them eh?
Nobody would take any notice of them any more.

Fuck 'em man. I plan on having a badass looking dragon stitched into the back of my next jacket.

Maybe you'll get the chance to tell your FF mates that when you go over to support their show next month.
Why you'd support those cunts is beyond me but that's your call I guess.
Don't leave ya' bike in the wrong place while your there mate,I hear Viragos burn real well.

Me and Slash had this discussion after the event (being flatmates and all) - I can see all sides but my overriding (no pun intended) instinct would be to not risk wearing something that to me, even knowing what it is, looks like a gang patch.
Especially on a dude riding a motorcycle.
Especially a crusier.
Especially with a skull as (a major) part of the patch.
And especially with the words "Black label society" on it, which could be anything....unlike for example Holy Roller's "Rider for Christ" patch which is obvious.

Call it experience, lack of Naiveté , or just growing up in many different countries around the world, but there are some things you just don't do, like walk around south central L.A. with a blue/red bandanna hanging out of your pocket>>, or asking "when are the backstreet boys on?" in the mosh during Mudvayne at the Big Day Out, or riding with what looks like a gang patch through Otara, then West Auckland.......

I'm a patched member of this BADASS group of hombres called kiwibiker.....and I've never had a problem, even tho the patch is on the back of my leathers. Fortunately, because the patch has no rockers, is bright frickin' yellow, and clearly defines itself as this website, it's obvious even to the fucktards that it's not a gang thing. :slap:

One thing I like is anonymity. Put a patch on your back and you stand out like an erection in a harem.

Oh yeah part 2 of my story - a day later I had my own gang run in.....

There they were, lounging in the shade out near the beach, just after a 15km/h or so corner, with their bikes proudly on display.
I came around the corner on the RR, saw them, saw the staredown and the derogatory looks at this sprotbiker begin, and thought "FUKK THE LOTTA YA!"

So I gave it some stick, passed them at about 90 in first (at least HALF of my total wheel count was on the road...), them proceeded to make my way up the next 2k or so of nice straight road at.....er...exactly the speed limit officer .

Those minichoppers didn't know what had hit 'em.

Why didn't you just get off your bike and kick the sh*t out of him? He was probably high on P at the time and may not even remember you the next day.

thats a really intelligent suggestion

This a pic of one of my jacket, It not so much the image too but the fact it's got the NZ rocker, It dome fastens off. Would only wear it unfast overseas Laconia, Sturgis eg. Also in fact your Black&White Heavy metal patch is in Devils henchmen "Colors". The NZ on my jacket is in the "Harley" orange. It still considered an insult to 1%ers I suppose. Just for information and advise to be careful of what kind of things to wear unfortunately.

Does anyone recognise this MC group...

I wonder "what happens next"......

Interesting posts made by some folks here. Thanks for responding. I've never really thought much about MC gangs as their activities don't interest me but after reflecting on this experience I can see why what I considered a seemingly innocent bit of fun was a major error in the wider scheme of things and why it was taken so seriously by the HH member. I was wearing what appeared to be a new and unknown/unsanctioned set of colours. I was (presumably) on his gangs turf, or at the very least presented a threat to his society, and by appearing at an event wearing such was making a very bold public statement.

They obviously have their own social ettiquete and rules governing their interactions with other gangs and the colours are evidently much more that a costume or identifying designation..

Its a shame that he made you think that way, you should be free to have whatever patch you want on your back providing its not that of an organised criminal group.

The HH are nothing more than an organised group of cowards, they have no quandry with including child rapists, murderers and other peices of shit in there ranks.

They will all talk big when they have about 50 odd of there butbuddies behind them, but thats about the extent of it.

Wow mate, I actually had a decent opinion of you, prior to this. Gangs that peddle drugs and people who condone them deserve nothing but contempt.

Grow some balls.
