Amen to that, unfortunately it took way too many years for me to realize it...
Dont sweat being recognised and appreciated, as long as that aint the motorvation for service, its simply the icing on the cake...
"Thank You" for yer service...
A response of a biker friend to a silly question by a stupid reporter.
"Yeah, it's hard to rape, pillage and plunder all night when you have to get up at 5:30 to be at work at 7."
LOL
I wish I possessed one-half of this man's character...I want to strangle them.
Oh yeah, like she's going to listen. LOL
Great article. Thanks for the ping!
They won’t dress too much like 1%ers otherwise they are liable to pay the consequences which are not good.
This will pretty much give you all the info you really want to know on MCs.

Great story!!
Here’s a link to a picture that I took of a couple Patriot Guard Riders at this year’s Rolling Thunder:

LOVE those guys!!
A single patch would normally mean you are voted into a club. My wife is the treasurer of a single patch club.
A 3 part patch, without the main patch, means you are still working your way into the group. You get the main patch once you’ve earned it. Many 1% groups use the 3 part patches. Women are normally “property” in a 1% club.
This is what I have heard. If I am wrong, let me know.
yup
Patriot Riders are true patriots!!
NerdDad and I (well, mostly NerdDad) have participated in a few rides, and we don’t even own a bike. We ride as part of the support crew, carrying flags, equipment, and coolers of water.
We are so proud to be part of PGR!!!!!
Many hugs to you WetWillie.....
Many other non-1%ers use 3 piece patches.
Two rockers and a center patch is not a fool poof indicator of “bad” or “good”.
Not a good idea. Bandidos especially consider any 3 piece patch in their territory uninvited as a personal affront. Typically, they just demand that you hand your colors over. It doesn’t get ugly unless you refuse to comply.
Rolling Thunder of 2008 had the largest turnout of motoscycles in a single gathering in the history of the United States!! An estimated 400,000-500,000 Bikes and Bikers gathered to celebrate the lives of soldiers everywhere. The pictures taken that day are amazing. A great many of these riders are also Patriot Guard Riders, including my boyfriend. Anyone, not only the PGR, who shows respect to the soldiers of this country...these people will have my utmost respect til my dying day ;~)
Just yesterday I passed by a church where a funeral was being held and the Patriot Guard was there, waiting for the funeral to end. They were lined up on the walkway where the casket would pass. I actually stopped and parked to watch them. I so grateful for the soldier who was being honored that day. And I’m so appreciative of the PGR and what they stand for. I honor them, too.
Could you put me on the PGR pinglist?
