If you're looking for some of those exceptionally rare biker patches, there are two different types. The first includes all of those really old patches that are no longer produced and were made by companies that have long been out of business. The other type is those that have a very limited production run. These are usually patches created specifically for promotional purposes. Sometimes, motorcycle brands will create embroidered patches for a new model or for a special event. These patches are only available at that event, and once they're given out, no more of them will ever be produced.
If you're lucky enough to be able to attend one of these events, then you will have a very nice patch to add to your collection. Many people choose not to put this patch on a jacket or other item since it devalues the patch. Of course, not everyone is a collector, and they may go ahead and add it to their jacket anyway. If you don't care about selling or trading this patch, it can make a really unique addition to your gear.
On the other hand, if you want to make a little bit of extra money, you can sale this promotional patch to collectors for a good amount of money. There are a number of people out there who love to collect these rare patches. Others who are loyal to a specific brand of motorcycle may be very interested in patches created for bike launches and other company events.
No matter what you plan to do with it, getting your hands on one of these rare promotional patches means you've got a rare piece of history that won't ever be manufactured again. Be sure to get one if you attend an event where they're available.
