The Design of Motorcycle Club patches Choosing the design for your bike club patch goes hand in hand with the decision to form and name your club. Many clubs are named after a distinctive local landmark or from an episode in local history. The Brigantees of Bradford were so named after the hill tribes that inhabited the area, and the Berserkers and Norsemen were similarly named after wild Viking raiders. Others prefer the animal theme, Lions, Cobras, Dogs and Rats to name but a few. Whilst others are named after their type of bikes, or the search for speed and lifestyle. Wearing a distinctive patch helps reinforce a sense of belonging and pride in your club so getting it right is important. Work on your patch, and look at how others wear theirs. Take into consideration size, colours and shape. A variation of the design may also be required for clothing, as what works on a patch may not sit quite right on a hoodie or t-shirt. Embroidery is without doubt the best medium for patches, however not all designs will embroider without some degree of redesign. We offer free advice as we have many years experience not just in design, but also as bikers ourselves. Please don’t hesitate to ask.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Riders Branch is for anyone who has an interest in motorcycling whether they ride or not, and as one of the Legion’s “National” Branches, membership is open to everyone regardless of abode.

The Riders Branch is keen to attract motorcyclists and supporters from throughout the UK and abroad. We already have Branch members from Cornwall to Scotland , as well as from Canada , France , Spain , Germany , Switzerland , Australia and the USA .

We are brought together by our enthusiasm for motorcycling, and our willingness to support the aims and charitable efforts of The Royal British Legion. Branch members have the option to belong to more than one branch if they wish, allowing them to remain members of their local Legion Branch/Club as well as the National Riders Branch.

We have members from The Navy, The Army, The Royal Air Force and The Royal Marines as well as those who have not served, but wish to support the Royal British Legion through the Riders Branch.

The Riders Branch is very diverse in it’s membership. Members are young and old, male and female. We take part in all types of biking and biking events, from track days to rallies, on customs to sports bikes, and everything in between! And not forgetting formal Legion organised events and fund raising.

All members are encouraged to play an active role within the branch at Local and National level, with the emphasis on being pro-active in getting together with other branch members in their geographical area.

We try to attend as many events as possible during the year, including a Charity “Poppy” run. We use all these events to raise awareness and funds for the Royal British Legion Poppy appeal.

Not forgetting, we are Bikers and try to enjoy ourselves at social events as well…
