You couldn't stereo type him, he's just a big kid at heart and happens to own a Harley. As I said he's a good bloke, and a neighbor.

In-laws have bikie neighbours, they have the cleanest neatest house in the street. Lawns always mowed, cars always clean. When one of the residents had a new baby (twins) they started trailering the bikes in and out to keep the noise down. Every year there's a Christmas party in the street and they always have pressies for all the kids in the street. Never been an ounce of trouble.

Like anything though, there will always be a mongrel element who's in it for the wrong reasons. Unfortunately they seem to be becoming more and more common as the old guard drifts out.

The older school of bikies are very much that discreet, they would rarely poop in their own nest. Most of the time you would not even know they lived in the street,

Problem are the new school Bikies, most of them don't even ride bikes! They can't, just follow in a hectic lowered commodore. Too busy being fully sick, taking roids, and being threatening for the sake of it to feel like a big man.

I have a few mates that ride Harley's just because they like them, no idea why, but each to their own, and they are top blokes and great members of society with no club affiliations. But what happens now when they get stopped by the police?

Big difference between bike owners, bikers, general motorcycle clubs and their members and the 1%, "M"s and tooled up outlaw gangs.

Best thing is I can call them out for riding a stationary engine.

For years we had the Master At Arms of the Rebel MC living across the road. Kept to himself, but had a few domestics, have to say they didn't hurt any one but themselves. Any one living in Brisbane might remember the stoush between the Rebels & another club, Bandido's I think, on the Bribie Island road a few years ago. There was a shooting, old mate across the road was the shooter. We had he & his mates across home for BBQ's, because his children went to the same school as ours. He was a hard man, but never crapped in his own nest. Brett was his name.

My cousin is a member of the Vietnam Veterans MC, I worked with a man who was a member of a Christian MC , The Tribe Of Judah, who are a group who help the disadvantaged. I don't know how the new rules apply to them. In the past, the " bikies" kept to themselves, & were self regulating. Now it seems they are just full on crims. Some of them don't even ride bikes, for goodness sake. They need to be sorted, Bob
