This is going to sound weird..or not..but I picked up a Rivton jacket from a guy and although I like it, I just can't seem to get over flying another country's flag on my shoulder. I want to lose the Great Britain stuff (about 3.5" x 3.5") and put another type of patch there...any ideas?

Maybe just replace it with a Triumph patch?

If you want to see some entertaining options, check out Lowbrow Customs. I've gotten a few items from them - great folks.

So what do you want to replace it with Big Chief ? Crossed Tomahawks ?

Maybe you'll be safer in the US with the Union Jack, and wear the Stars and Stripes when visiting the UK. Just use velcro.

Ride on !

I'm proud to honor my bike's heritage, by wearing gear with a Union Flag; particularly, as Great Britain is a long-term ally of the USA.
If one doesn't like wearing the Union Flag, why not just take it off, without rubbing it in the faces of the many TRN members from Great Britain?
Does it really require internet posting to think of replacing a patch with another patch?
I, certainly, would take offense, if our members, from GB, posted about not wanting to wear the Stars and Stripes.

I pledge allegiance to British bikes, but not the republic for which they stand... :P

(no offense intended to patriots of any country)
