The motorcycle club patches worn by bikers are used to signify their club membership. There are many types of patches, and some can have multiple meanings.
Biker Club and Association Patches
Association patches are one piece, while club patches are usually two piece patches. In both cases, the patch is placed at the back of the leather vest, in the center. To be more precise, it is under the shoulder blades. The patch may consist of the club name, logo or both.
Sometimes these clubs come out with annual patches. These are small ones that state how long you have been a club member. These are usually rectangle with the year written there. These are put near the main club patch.
Title and Road Name Patches
Title patches denote the biker's position in the club. These club positions can be President, Vice President, secretary, sergeant-at-arms etc. These positions could indicate their place in the club or the club chapter.
The name or road patches can have the biker's real name or moniker. This moniker can be something that was given to them by other club members or just a personal one.
For identification purposes, these motorcycle club patches are worn on the vest left side above the heart. The club position is placed below the name.
What are the Memorial Patches?
These are patches in honor of deceased members. These patches can be placed anywhere on the vest. Some bikers put the patch by the bottom of the vest. This lets them add more if needed. Other bikers prefer to scatter these memorial vests all around.
Travel Patches
These are patches worn by bikers to denote where they have been. These patches also serve as mementos of the place or the event. These patches can be placed anywhere on the vest too.
Charity Run Pins
These are given to bikers who take part in charity runs. These pins feature the charity name, the date, and the club or association that hosted the event.
Flag Patches
These patches have two meanings. The patch can refer to the biker's country of origin or family tree. The patch flag can also refer to the motorcycle's origin.
Rally Badges or Rally Pins
Rally badges are handed out to bikers who go to a bike rally. The rally is very similar to the run, but one difference is that rallies can last over two nights. Apart from the rally, others activities take place.
Outlaw Club Patches
There are many types of outlaw patches. Among the most well known are the 1% patch, the number 13 and those with wings. The origin of the 1% is not clear: some claim it stems from the statement made by the American Motorcyclist Association that 99% of bikers are obedient to the law.
The number 13 refers to the letter M, which stands for motorcycle or methamphetamine.
There are many other types of motorcycle club patches and biker patches. Today, you can find other variants online, and you can of course easily make up one for your group or yourself.

Picking Nice Accessories To Go Along With Pirate Costumes
Pirate costumes are a very popular choice when it comes to fancy dress, but what are the best accessories to go with them?
Not every buccaneer had a wooden leg, an eye patch and a parrot perched on his shoulder. With a little bit of research and some imaginative thinking you can soon come up with some far more original ideas than that.
Let's start with jewellery for instance. Anyone wearing pirate costumes are, essentially, villains. You want to show your badness in your overall appearance. You want people to know that you are a rebel and that you have no time for decency or convention. A display of nose-rings, earrings and tattoos will go brilliantly with your new 'bad boy' image. Don't worry; I am not trying to talk you into desecrating your face and body just for the sake of a fancy dress party. If you get on the internet and have a look at some websites you will soon find a choice of hundreds of clip-on facial piercings. Likewise, there is a huge selection of temporary tattoos that would go perfectly with any pirate costumes. There is no need to be concerned about looking too nasty, swashbucklers have a natural charm.
The golden rule, when thinking about any accessories to go with your outfit is to 'think bad'. You want people to be wary of you. You are a buccaneer and a criminal. Dress in a rugged and 'ready for trouble' style. Anyone remembering this when they are choosing which accessories to go with their pirate costumes are almost certainly onto a winner.
Another possibility is a bandanna. Many a swashbuckler has worn one of these over the years and they still look cool today. Maybe you even have an old scarf or piece of material lying around somewhere that could be used.
Beads worn in small plaits or dreadlocks can look really good with pirate costumes. Think about Captain Jack Sparrow in the popular series of adventure films. There are a lot of accessories that you might pick up for next to nothing. Again, use your imagination. What about hanging some old-fashioned looking keys from your belt on a piece of wire or string? Or perhaps you could get hold of an old pocket-watch chain to wear along with your waistcoat? There are all sorts of little touches that can be added to your outfit that will make it look so much more authentic. Even small things such as wearing a couple of leather strips (perhaps old boot laces) on your wrist can make all the difference.
Having a look at pictures of pirates from films and television can also give you some good ideas. Spending a little time on your computer could be rewarding and save you a lot of frustration.
If you really do find it difficult to think of anything to go with your outfit then try checking the websites of some fancy dress suppliers. Companies that sell pirate costumes usually tend to have a very good selection of bits and pieces to go with them.
I was washing my '99 Road King, and I let it idle to help it dry. I started going over the chrome on the windshield and handlebars with a microfiber rag, when the rag snagged on something, fell out of my hand and onto the exhaust! It started melting instantly, and by the time I ripped it off, it had left a burnt plastic residue on the chrome! STUPID, I know, but how han I scrub that off without scratching the chrome? PLEASE HELP! This is the only thing in my life worth anything to me!!!!

National Cycle vstream Windshield GL1800 - Chrome World
When you want to buy a classic car, there are a lot of thing to look at and inspect, in this article I will deal with one specific car, the Chevrolet Corvette, you look at a lot of the same things as every other car, but the Corvette does have it's own special areas of interest.
Check The Numbers: First just a quick visual inspection, do they look UN-tampered with, do they look like they were stamped at the factory.
These are the numbers to look at, if your looking at it as an investment, this is one of the most important things you need to look at..
Body ID Engine Number: Casting Number, RPO Codes, Date Codes, and other various stampings. Trim Tag: Vin Code, Paint Code, Transmission Code. Owners Title: Make sure it all matches with the title.
Body Work: Make sure that the body in general looks square, if it doesn't this indicates a wreck, or worn body mounts, or possibly frame damage in the area that isn't square.
Check the nose alignment, this is another indicator that the car has been in a front end collision.
Wheel Well Height: Check the height of the wheels at all four corners of the car, if they look different, this indicates a suspension problem, it may be simple like a shock, or extensive like a broken spring, so take your time and pay attention.
Body Surface: What your checking for here is anything that looks like it doesn't belong, like bumps, ripples, waves, visible seems, and last but not least, paint shrinkage, most of these mean a repaint.
Paint Work: Check against the paint code to see it the car has the factory paint color on it, look for over spray on any areas of the body, certain years did have a bit of engine over spray from the factory, just a bit on the headers of the car.
Paint surface problems, this includes lifting, checking if the car has a lacquer type paint on it, look for over masking, this will indicate that the car has been repainted at some point in time, you should also look for dust in the paint.
Look for scratches showing through the paint, you'll never see this with a factory paint job, look for bubbles, flaking, peeling, all of these things indicate that the car has been repainted at some point in time, and not a good job done with the paint
Color Match: Look for areas that look like the color is a bit off, or doesn't match the rest of the car, this always means body work in the are where the paint doesn't match, and usually means that the car has had an accident.
Check Panel Gaps, And Bumper Height: Check the front bumper to make sure that it sets level, and the height that it should, check the gaps around the hood, doors, T-top, deck lid, and last but not least the rear bumper.
Steel Work: A common misconception about the Corvette is the one where it has nothing that can rust, because the car is made from fiber glass, this is 100% not true, there is a lot of steel in a Corvette.
Check the frame of the car for undercoat peeling, or falling off of the car, look at the frame for surface rust, flaking rust. Patch repairs, and holes, check around the windshield posts, this is one of the areas where they wrap fiber glass around the metal.
Under Hood And Engine: First of all you'll want to check the painted surface of the engine for condition of the paint, and also take a look at the chrome surfaces of the engine, look for peeling, and rust showing through the chrome.
Check For Originality: If your a car collector who buys these cars for investment reasons, this could be the most important parts of the process, basically your looking for things that may look out of place, or don't look as if the factory installed them.
This usually is not to hard to determine, you'll bee looking at the exhaust system, the fuel system including but not limited to the carburetor, the fuel pump, the intake manifold, the air cleaner, next is the wiring, you'll be looking that the general condition of the harness, and the wiring ends.
Maintenance: You should look at heater hose connections, and hose condition, also look at all of the drive belts on the car, after that you'll move on to a maintenance check, this will include coolant level, engine oil level, hydraulic fluid level, brake fluid level, transmission fluid level, and last but not least power steering fluid level.
Check Engine Condition: This is a very important step, especially if you need to save money while restoring the car, have the owner start the car for you, check the engine at the tail pipe for smoke when the engine is revved, also look at the inside of the oil filler cap for sludge, an indicator of poor engine maintenance.
Also if you see smoke when the engine is revved, and it seems to go away when the engine warms up, it needs valve seals replaced, and more then likely a valve job, examine coolant for oil in the water, this will look like a white substance floating on the water, and check radiator for leaks.
Check Engine For Leaks: Leaks from the engine are important because they can mean that the engine needs to be removed from the car to fix them, at which point it's always better to just rebuild the engine to make sure that everything is up to par.
When checking for leaks you need to concentrate on a few areas of the engine to be through with your inspection of the engine, to start with always check the bottom radiator hose for leaks, and then check around the distributor, valve covers, the rear of the intake manifold, and the bell housing.
You should also look under the car to see where it has been dripping oil on the ground, and while your there look the the back of the engine where the transmission connects to the engine for oil leaks, this usually indicate a rear main seal leak, and is a lot of work to fix.
Interior Check: This is a big area to check, so I will try to narrow it down as much as I possibly can, first of all your should check the carpet for wear, such as rips, tears, and fraying, check for dryness, or wet areas, this usually indicate a leak, such as a heater core.
Check the condition of the center console for cracks, breaks, and repair work in the past, look at both door panels for ripping, and tearing, if you find any, you know that you'll be replacing them, look at the dash panel, it's made out of plastic, so it can crack, fade, or just deteriorate over time.
Also look at the door seals, all the rubber around the doors, and top of the car, also check the seat belts for wear, or abuse, check both door latches for proper latching, you should always have two clicks before the door is all the way latched.
Check the steering wheel for wear, and if it's a tilt, or telescoping wheel check to make sure that both of those option are working correctly, check your convertible tops for alignment, or digging in to the car body, always check the seals around the tops.
Check all compartment doors, hinges, and latches to make sure that they are working correctly, inspect the windshield for leaks, and fiber glass bubbles, bubble here indicate rust around the windshield area of the car.
Road Test The Car: Unless that car doesn't run, you should always road test it, start the car and turn on the windshield wipers, keep in mind that special versions of the Corvette didn't have wipers, we're talking about the L88, ZL1, and cars like these that were race cars that were put on the street.
Inspect windshield washers to make sure that they work, check all of the lights in the instrument panels, turn on the head lights and make sure that they are working properly, check the dimmer, and the interior lights, also do a walk around and look at the exterior lights.
Check The Gauges: Make sure that you check all of the gauges to make sure that they are working correctly, and registering properly what they should, that about covers the interior check on the car, now we'll move on to a mechanical check.
Mechanical Check: You should check all of these things first with the car in one place, and then again while the car is moving.
Does the park brake hold the car in place on an incline, does the manual transmission pop out of gear, this indicates bad synchronous gears, and is a transmission rebuild, make sure that the transmission shifts smoothly, a transmission that is hard to get in to a gear usually has bad synchros also.
Test that clutch sitting on an incline to see if it slips, this means that you need a new clutch, pressure plate, and usually a throw out bearing, if the car as an automatic transmission, make sure that it shifts smoothly between gears.
Also make sure that you automatic transmission shifts down quickly, and smoothly, listen to the car for clunks, thumps, clicks, and the like, check the A/C if the car had it, make sure that the speedometer is working right.
Braking: Make sure that the car doesn't pull to one side, this indicates that you have a brake caliper binding when you step on the brake, also listen for squealing, this indicates that your brake pads are getting low, or you have something caught between the rotor, and the brake pad.
If the brake pedal feels to hard, it's an indicator that your vacuum booster is on the way out, or has gone all the way our, with the car parked put your foot on the brake, if it sinks slowly to the floor, this indicates that your master cylinder needs to be replaced, or your slave cylinders.
At Normal Driving Speeds: Listen for excessive wind noise in the passenger are of the car, this means that it's time to replace the rubber seals in the car, feel for vibrations in the car, these can mean a lot of different things, from bad wheel balancing, to drive line balancing.
Does the steering wheel return to center after a turn, it should do this, if not you could have a steering gear box on the way out, fell also for the steering wheel to shimmy, this indicates suspension problems, could be as simple as bad shocks, but could be much worse, so consider it not a good thing.
That's about it for this article, i know it's a huge article, and it has a lot of information, but I thought that it was about time that I did this article in it's full glory, but have still ended up condensing it down, but I did get most everything that I could think of.
Over my life in the automotive industry I have learned that I love the classic American cars, and in such have dedicated a lot of time to helping people restore their classic cars.

Thumb Throttle Polaris atv backfires and starts cutting out when depressing thumb throttle, even out of gear? Idles great.?
Polaris 425 Magnum began backfiring, missing out, while driving it. Timing light shows it's fine while idling, but when depressing thumb throttle, at a certain point it will start missing, cutting out, backfiring. Could it be the reverse override switch has gone bad? Any other suggestions?
The carb has been gone over, the fuel filter is relatively new and clean, new plug, intake is fine... The other ideas were great, but intake and filter isn't the problem this time. Wish it was that easy.
Check the fuel filter... it may run fine at idle because only a little bit of fuel is needed... but as you accelerate, it demands more fuel... which means more volume which it cannot supply due to restriction. Start with replacing the fuel filter... see what you get from there.
Why do quads have thumb throttles, and not twist throttles like bikes?
That makes sense
GB is partially correct, except when it comes to dirt bikes. Dirt bike riders turn their bars every which way they can while riding when compared to street bikes.
Thumb throttles are in a word "safer". When the early ATVs were being developed they copied the snowmobile throttle because if you loose control of the bike, you are less likely to grab/roll on more throttle with a thumb throttle. Since then the "safety regulations and industry standards" have made thumb throttles the only throttle available on stock quads.
However, there is nothing preventing someone from converting their quad to use a twist grip throttle.
Wish it was that easy.
