Ostomy Bikers

Posted by bikerboy, on Sat Jun 23, 2012 9:48 pm

I just had a new patch made and had it sewn on my jacket,it says OSTOMY RIDERS
Im hopeing to start a nationwide awareness that just because we have a bag we cant still do the things we like.I'll be out there advertising everyday.I know of a few riders here on this site and Im sure it will raise awareness.Theres no dues Im sure we have already paid with our lives.
takecare

I ride, been riding for a long time before my ostomy. Still ride with ostomy, why would anyone question that we can't? Kevin

Good for you. I think that is a wonderful idea. I have an ostomy and am looking forward to riding again.

Hi Bikerboy,

I'd love a patch like that too - so - if you are selling them, let me know how to purchase one! Great idea! Good for you!

Originally I thought maybe I'd get maybe one reply but this is overwhelming,and totally awesome.I was at a local harley shop where the ladies set up shop and sew patches for bikers.I asked this lady if she could make a patch.It cost me $20 for the patch and $10 to sew it on.I'll see if she wants to make more and I'd just sell them for what I paid plus postage.If there's some one out there that wants to make them and sell them thats fine with me.Im not a business man I just thought it would be neat and never saw a patch before.

I would wear one of those patches,that cool,but iam nt a biker,but i want one,how do i gt one?

Reply by bikerboy, on Sun Jul 01, 2012 6:35 pm

ok I found a site that will make the patch so I hope to have them available in the next month,and I will let you know the cost and other questions

Reply by Juuust_Jim, on Sun Jul 01, 2012 6:58 pm

making so Decals with the same logo or emblem you design would be a good idea too and also much less expensive to produce too - those would be nice for people that dont have or always wear a jacket when they ride - and also could be adhered just about anywhere.

thats a good Idea I'll check into getting a bumper sticker idea going,thanx juuust jim

I even have a set of side bags and a rucksack. I might do more things as an ostomate than other "normal" people would do. Besides, having an ostomy is something you can hardly notice in your leathers, but a giant beer belly yes! hahaha

Hi.
I proudly sit on the back of a Harley. I would Love a patch! Lets us know where we can get them.

And .....I feel so free and "normal" when we are riding. I rarely check to see if the back needs emptying. I never thought I could let it go from my mind for even five minutes. It is the best feeling to just be a passenger and look around. I suggest to anyone to do this.

Hello Bikerboy,

I am Guadalupe aka "G". I admire your bravery. I've had my ostomy for 3 years now and it saved my life but it took my body and self-esteem. I need to change, so how can I get one of your awsome ostomy riders patch? I don't ride any more but I would put one on my jacket.

I have a new Ostomy and am using my 2006 Harley as an incentive to keep on working hard to get back to full capacity if not completely normal again. My first ride since the surgery is only a month away! I would wear one of those patches with pride, even if I am able to have a successful reversal in 2017. I will buy one if you can get them made and let us know the procedure to follow.
