We ask that if worn it should be displayed either on your right or left chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have seen many of us wearing our military badges and medals to celebrate our own service as proud ex\/and still serving members of our Armed Forces. This too is optional and is your choice. The wearing of leather waistcoats is a typical biker form of attire and the choice of riding vests for many of us, leather protects us from a spill. If your choice of clothing is cordura or one-piece race suits then that is your choice.<br><br>Our bikes, of which we have every possible make and cc, may be adorned with large poppies, links to our website, artwork from the badge.
