Strange want .. Patch badge

[He11cat]

Does anyone have 2011 2012 .. Can't recall if we had or get a 2013
Cloth badge / and or pin badge from DOC pack they don't want. ?
I am happy to pay for them if anyone had some theyd never wear or don't require.
I lost a couple off my leather and my jacket is covered in badges and patches as I am uncouth :) and look hideous in posh stuff :)
Thank you :)

You sound like a closet H-D owner...

"runs and ducks for cover"

Slob has about 100 uncollected packs apparently. Maybe there is one or two happy to be diverted!

Oi I'm am far removed from that their Harley stuff !!!

I think most riders now are of the posh sports gear.
But my leather has always been very personal to me.

It has stuff on it that I have been given , stuff that I like and painting.
Has always been that way.
I have my tiny original leather as well.

I had a comment from a fellow Duke rider who was not impressed with my Greebo attire...
But that always been the way with my jackets.
If god forbid anything happens to me my jacket would be given to my son.

Have a look at this :)

This is a stunning well " coffee table" book.

My jacket is not traditional style but your get the gist :)
no studs though.

I am really sad to see their are now companys who will "make " your jacket.
you tell them what patches you want to buy and studs and stuff and they will customise it for you!!

So not the point... we used to call these types "plastics"
its about what you like , what friends have given you ( friends often send me badges).
An extension of yourself.
My jackets have always been like that.
I also have my friends cut off that is well um worn in with hundreds of bits on it weighs a tonn
but its fasicnating to look at the bits on it .... is about what he likes where he has been allsorts.

There you go not everyones cuppa but thats the way it works for me!
Once I drop some weight and keep it off il be having one made by Lewis Leathers like my very old one was.
That will then get stuff added to it gradually.
Not rally patches ...not like the Biker cut offs .. thats different again.

So that why I asked if anyone has a badge :)

I think I might have those two patches, Mel.
To be honest, although I haven't used them yet, I did kinda think I might at some stage, but it probably won't happen so, if you are unable to find any elsewhere, you can have mine.

I used to have a 1974 Dragon Rally pin badge which was quite sentimental, but it got disposed of in the divorce.
Don't suppose anyone has one of those that they don't want, do they ?

Il hunt about first as if you may use them its best you keep them :)
I am afraid even if I ever did shrink back to 8 stone ( impossible now) I still wouldn't entised by some posh all in one garment or race leathers ...
Id still be tatty jacket and draggins or leather trousers.
Always been that way can't be changed :) Once a hooligan always a hooligan!

You're in luck - have found 2011 and 2012 DOC patches in envelopes in a cupboard upstairs. PM me your address Mel and I'll pop them in the post.

I will gladly give a home.
