VBA patches?

Tiger J · 12-31-2011, 11:28 AM

Got a nice vest from Santa and have been trolling the web for patches to get started... Piper's Patches has a nice VROC back patch and other Vulcan-related patches but I was wondering if a VBA back patch exists?

Not yet but the powers that be are working on it.

Remember though, no rockers.

I once promised a friend that I would never go there. (Club Colors)

I do like the VBA patch. Nice looking without bars or rockers.

I wear a patch when I ride with my American Legion Riders group and
it includes a rocker. Never been questioned on it despite having been
at locations with various 1% patch wearers. Your mileage may vary.

A lot I bet.

I wouldn't want to find out the hard way.

Be patient.... Santa is working on it.

Mark --- "Colors" aren't necessarily a bad thing just like "biker" isn't always a bad thing. I'm a "biker" and I wear "colors" but I'm NOT a 1%er by any means (although I DO have the requisite goatee

).

You look like you could weave a patch to your back.

Finally, someone has noticed.

I get the differences from patch, colors, group, club, and especially 1%ers. In my 20's I wore a cut and colors on almost every ride. Like our VBA patch they were not club sponsored. I got some flack for having rockers even though they said, "Independent" (no club), and "nomad" (no home). I had lots of 1%er friends and most of them were club sponsored. Not all of my 1%er friends were from the same club and some of them do not get along well with others. Over drinks at a club house my previously mentioned friend asked me "when" was I going prospect. I said, "Never, but if I do it will be here." I was 23 then and I'm 54 now. I have no reason nor intention to break that promise. VBA is as close as I get (and that's not even close). I'm a lot different person altogether these days. VBA is a group for good times and great friends. No pressure to join or perform.

And we don't have to prospect either.

That would be the "perform" part.

That club (no I won't say who) has some "cash flow requirements" and expects each member to bring in their share. Requirements for prospects are slightly higher.
