The smiling
skull we wear
today kept
coming back
to us over and
over again.
It was an old
tattoo design
that had been
modified by
our long time
friend and
supporter,
Ron Wheeler
from So Cal.
I called him
up and asked if we could use his modified artwork for our
patch design. He not only gave us the initial design, but also
incorporated it into the full patch design you see today (with
only a slight modification as our personal touch).
We loved the design and again had a total peace with it
as soon as we saw it. We wanted to make the statement
that "with Christ, there is no fear of death". In reality, Jesus
put a smile on the face of death for all time (please note
the smiling face on our patch). We didn't want something
demonic looking, but
happy! We also knew
from scripture that
Jesus was crucified,
buried, and arose from
the dead near a place
called "Golgotha",
which in Hebrew
means "the place of
a skull." A view of the
site when seen from
a distance looks like
the face of a skull in
the rock formation just
below Calvary hill (as
it is called today in
English). Although perhaps criticized by some for wearing
a "skull" on our backs as Christians we ignore that and stay
focused on our purpose. In the secular world in which we
operate, skulls are in, they are cool, and they are widely
accepted as a symbol of the motorcycle culture. It's even
hard to find biker T-shirts, jackets, parts, and jewelry that
don't have skulls on them.
