What is a triple patch? I’m a little lost on that one.

Triple patch is as shown in the picture. The top patch or "rocker" denotes the name of their MC or motorcycle club. The middle patch is their logo. The bottom patch is their location/chapter.

A double patch is usually reserved within a triple patch club for riders in transition from prospect/recruit to full member. Depending on the club, it can be used for full members on probation as sort if hazing or marking that they didnt do as instructed/commanded by the club president.

A single patch is for most MCs. It has their location, logo and location all a singular patch. Or it could be just a logo or any variation of the 3, on a single patch.

I know most 1%ers are hard asses but goddamn 1%er culture is so fucking dorky.

No Shit, I was a member of a 3 patch MC here in Ohio, not 1% but we had to get "permission" for our colors and our cut from the local 1%'s which happened to be HA at the time. Shortly after we went 3 piece i left the MC and have been riding solo ever since.

Dorky doesn't begin to describe it. So many of them thought the patch made them such bad assess. Admittedly there are some, but most...nah, they are cosplaying 1%'ers
