Was looking for an old thread on another subject and I came across this. Starting a new motoycycle club can be frought with hazzards depending on where you live and how strong the 1% clubs in the area are. 1st off, is the issue of what the geometry of the patch is going to be A three piece patch is traditionally an outlaw patch. Top and bottom rockers and a center patch. Also, the letters MC as part of the patch again are traditionally 1% territory. Next is the issue of colors. Any combination of Red and White, Black and White to name two will get you noticed in a negative way as will a name already in existance. My advice is to do a google search once you've come up with a name (one that doesn't include the words Motorcycle Club) If you don't find anything, advertise in your regional Thunder Press that you are starting a motorcycle riding organization to be called - - - - - - - - - - - - Any objections should reply within x amount of days to a PO Mention what the combination of colors will be. I would mention that going to your local ABATE or Confederation of Clubs meeting and asking outright if anyone objects will not get you a response even if someone does because of issues with the RICO act. So, make your patch a one piece, use the word Riders or something similar in the name, avoid any color combinations similar to the major 1% organizations and you should be fine. The easiest way is to be like the Hamsters and be a T-shirt only organization.
PS. I'm real partial to the name Iron Horsemen, but that's because I've got it tatooed on my arm.
