Biker Pins for a Great Biker Group

Monday, October 3, 2011 by Michael Meador
Motorcyle PinI try as much as possible to give shout outs to our customers that do great things and put on great events.  That is why I wanted to take a minute and talk about the Choir Boys L.E.M.C. group.  We recently created this custom motorcycle pin for an upcomming ride in November, and I like to think it's one of the nicer lapel pins we've created all year.   

Integrity of the pin aside, I think the focus should go on the integrity and character that each member of this motorcycle club brings to the table.  Each member is from a law enforcement background and is dedicated to helping the law enforcement community through their charitable actions. 

If you are local law enforcement in the great American south west, and you only a Harley Davidson, I would stronly suggest meeting up with your fellow blue bloods and enjoy a ride.  Take a look at the Choir Boys site here.

American Firefighters Motorcycle Club - Great Cause, Great Lapel Pin

Tuesday, June 28, 2011 by Michael Meador
During the summer months we are hard at work creating custom biker pins and embroidered patches for clubs doing various events, and whenever possible we like to give credit to the great causes we have the pleasure of being involved with.

We recently created a lapel pin for the American Firefighters Motorcycle Club based out of Chicago and I feel they have a story and event lined up that is definitely worth sharing.  This September will mark the 10 year anniversary of 9/11.  To commemorate this event and to honor the heroes and loved ones lost that day, the American Firefighters M/C will be embarking on a ride from Chicago to New York.  The ride will start on September 6th, with stops in Shanksville, Gettysburg, DC, and finally New York.  To learn more about this ride and the travel accommodations being made, please click here to learn more about the American Firefighters M/C 9/11 Ride.

Special Olympics Products

With the Special Olympics World Games almost upon us we have had the great opportunity to create many custom lapel pins, custom embroidered patches, and custom challenge coins that have been used to raise awareness and funds for this great organization.  Here at Recognition Services we just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to those of you we have had the pleasure of working with for these events.  More importantly we want to say thank you to all the supporters and sponsors of Special Olympics events around the world. 

Each year people from all walks of life and all corners of society will come together in support of the Special Olympics games and participants.  We have seen local Lions Club Members get involved, law enforcement officials take pride in a traditional torch run, and even bikers organizing fundraiser rides for Special Olympics. 

If you are not already involved with this great organization I encourage you to click on this link to see how you can get involved with a program in your area.  It is always a pleasure working with the members of these organizations and their supporters, their spirit of service and humbleness is truly inspiring.

Embroidered Motorcycle PatchesFor the past few years Recognition Services has been supplying Indian Motorcycle with custom made lapel pins, embroidered motorcycle patches, and even cosmetic parts for their bikes.  As a licensed vendor we recently found out that Indian Motorcycle was acquired by Polaris, you can read more about this acquisition here.  We just wanted to take a moment to let you know that for Indian Motorcycle and their licensees it is business as usual.  If you are wanting to make a Indian Motorcycle custom pin or embroidered patch then please do not hesitate to contact us and we would be happy to design a great piece for your group.

On another note as the weather changes, the trees begin to bloom, and the wind gets warmer it means that riding season is officially upon us.  Make sure when you go out to stay safe and wear your gear.  To everyone else not on a motorcycle, like the saying goes "Be aware, Motorcycles are Everywhere!".  Every year we are asked to do fallen biker patches and our hearts go out to the families affected.  Stay safe and enjoy the ride! 

Cody Alicea - A True American Patriot

Wednesday, January 26, 2011 by Michael Meador
Cody Alicea was just a normal 13 year old boy who was proud of his country and the veterans, including his grandfather, who served for his freedom.  That is why he was proud to display an American flag on his bike as he rode back and forth to school.  A very commendable action for a young man to take, and an example to us all for how to display what we are proud of and what we support. 

Unfortunately the school system of Denair thought it unsafe for the flag to be on Cody's bike, and therefore made him remove it from his bike.  This action not only upset Cody and his family, but the local chapter of American Legion Riders and veterans from all around the nation.  We have had the privilege of creating many custom coins, biker pins, and embroidered patches for the American Legion Riders of the years, so it was great to see our product in the national spotlight in the below news segment.  The American Legion Riders are a fantastic group of men and women and I was not surprised at all at their outreach and support to Cody and his family.  We are proud to support the American Legion Riders and commend the work they do.

Motorcycle PinWith snow coming down across the country, some of you may be thinking of putting your motorcycle up for the season.  STOP!  Not until you strap on that vest full of custom pins, and get on your bike for a few Toy Runs.  These runs are a great way for the biker clubs in your area to give back to the community.  Many Toy Runs will even offer a custom made lapel pin signifying your participation in the event.  If you have a toy run coming up soon and would like to have a lapel pin, it's not too late.   Contact us today so we can make a custom pin for the ride. 

Have fun out there and stay safe!
 


Motorcyle Pins and Biker Pins for a Great Cause

Thursday, December 2, 2010 by Michael Meador
Motorcycle Lapel PinEven in the cold summer months you can't keep a good rider down.  We've had the pleasure of creating many custom pins and custom patches in the last couple of months, but there was one custom motorcycle pin we worked on recently that really stood out.  The pin you see here was done for a charity motorcycle rally that was thought up by a high school student.  CJ took it on as a senior project, that has now turned into an annual charity ride for child abuse awareness drawing over 150 riders each year, and we are thrilled to be a part of this by making custom lapel pins for his cause. 

We are very honored to be a part of this project by making this custom pin for CJ, and we applaud this fine young man for his efforts.

Custom Lapel Pins - Wheeling For Fun and a Cause

Friday, April 30, 2010 by Orlando Burgos
Few things are better than having fun with others while doing some good for your community. More people than ever before are combining their hobbies to do special things for their fellow citizens. A great example of this is motorcycle clubs holding fundraising events. One biker club had a bike ride to raise money for their favorite children’s hospital. They made it extra special by giving participants a special edition Cardon Toy Drive Ride motorcycle pin.

These custom lapel pins were used to commemorate the ride and show their civic pride. More clubs and groups are using service lapel pins, motorcycle pins or recognition lapel pins to celebrate their special events. Not only do we provide custom lapel pins, we also offer custom biker back patches for leather jackets. They are perfect for civic organizations or clubs to raise money and promote their events.

Many organizations have developed loyalty for their events by designing and handing out new logo lapel pins every year. They now have a larger and more loyal following which ultimately helps their fund raising efforts. Keep your participants and donors coming every year with a stylish logo lapel pin from Recognition Services.

Embroidered Motorcycle Patches - Show Allegiance or Honor Fallen Rider

Tuesday, March 30, 2010 by Michael Meador
Embroidered Motorcycle PatchesThe typical “biker” outfit is made up of vests, long pants, boots and helmets. Biker back patches or smaller embroidered motorcycle patches are often worn on biker jackets to show allegiance to a particular biker group. They can also be worn to show honor for a fallen rider. Embroidered motorcycle patches not only show allegiance to a biker group, but they can also be representative of certain personal characteristics such as a nickname. Whatever the purpose, we can help design a custom embroidered patch for your biker club or group.

Our custom biker patches can come in one piece, two piece or three piece sets to fit the needs for your biker group. We have experience creating custom patches for many groups including law enforcement, motorcycle clubs and event rally committees. Design and artwork is free with your confirmed order. Look for our ad in Easy Rider Magazine this summer and be ready to look tough with your large biker back patch or smaller embroidered motorcycle patch. Keep the paint up and the rubber down!

We also offer custom emblems, pins, badges, key chains and other promotional items for motorcycle clubs.
