It is undeniably true that avid motorcycle riders are part of a unique culture; a culture complete with its own vocabulary, idioms, lifestyles, and ways of looking at things. To be a biker is to be somewhat unique in an American culture that seems to pride itself in homogeneity. Yet in the biker culture, individuality is both celebrated and a necessity. That is why we have numerous biker patches.
Bike rally patches are one example of the individual nature of bikers. Although nearly all bikers will buy a bike rally patch every time they attend one, they could never find the room to display them all on their vest or jacket.
Seeing which patches have been chosen to be attached to the leathers of the various bikers is very interesting. The driving force is usually either the last rally attended or the one the individual biker views as having been the best.
Beyond the simple individual recognition though, bike rally patches also serve as a way to let other bikers know you attended a specific event. There is a communal bond in this, similar to the bond between police officers, firefighters, and military personnel. Many bikers feel a certain bond with another biker if they have both attended the same rally despite the fact that they might be strangers.
As such, biker rally patches also serve as a point of conversation. By simply recognizing that you've been to the same rally, you're able to strike up a conversation with other bikers willing to share stories and experiences. You can really break the ice and make new friends this way.
Just remember that whether you've been to Daytona Beach, Sturgis, Myrtle Beach, or Laconia, there is no point in arguing over them. They're all great!
