Great time to be a rider in Queensland , Australia.

 

The Qld Premier and his Attorney General have declared war on "Bikies" ie the outlaw mob.Trouble is without their colours/patches theyre a bit hard for for plod to spot ...so they have a go at everybody. And of course the bikies have all gone into mufti. Hard to identify a carload of bikies in a BMW with tinted windows heading over the border into NSW.

 

Some bloke in a "Sons of Anarchy" T-shirt got bailed up by two of the boys in blue as a suspected outlaw bikie wearing colours!.

A pensioner rider is complaining about harassment round his way on the Gold Coast.

Tattoo parlours are apparently fair game too as are it seems tow truck operators.

 

Legit bike clubs now are advised/required to notify police when they organise a ride of more than three bikes to avoid misunderstandings!...There goes the annual toy run for charity!! The "bike friendly" cafes out along the usual ride routes will be an interesting situation  LOL.

And now if picked up a bikie is presumed guilty by association and can be shipped off to a special gulag out in the bush and made to wear a pink prison outfit.

The premier has told the judiciary to shut up and do as theyre told when a "bikie" appears before the beak and chuck em in gaol for up to 25 yrs regardless.

 

I got tailgated by a patrol car the other day but they buggered off after about 2-3km. They must have radioed base to find out if a silver TDM niner constituted a typical bikie Hog when ridden by an old fart wearing a Hi-Vis vest (I could have been concealing my Mickey Mouse MC colours under it).

So when a bike shop has more than 3 customers parked out front does that constitute a gathering

 

I'm a law abiding recreational motorcycle rider so I have nothing to worry about...it says here.

 

Gonna be a loooong summer downunder.

 

Now wheres my Isle of Man TT centenary Tshirt..

WTF!!!

 

'Caning in schools would sort out bikies'

A Queensland politician has lamented the lack of caning as a disciplinary action in
schools, during an off-topic debate in parliament on bikies.

Went for a run last weekend 9 bikes (1 TDM 6 Trumpys 2 Yamy 650 Stars) Started at Indooroopilly made our way too Yamanto then around Moogerah Dam. Had lunch near Boonah and finished at Loganholme. Ride was about 250 k long. We were passed by 3 patrol cars and passed 2 stationary, not one gave us a second look so for us it was a great day.

Yet one of the guys at work rides a HD sportster was pulled over for RBT (random breath testing) they also did licence and rego check which is not normal. He was at the begin of the queue puts his helmet back on slowly moves forward to the end of the group so as to return to the road and another copper does the whole lot again. He told him he had already been done but copper said don’t care you are doing it again.

I have been lucky so far but there is definitely shit happening on the roads hear.

quote from Martin Niemöller: 1930's Germany

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Socialist.
 


Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- 
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.



Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- 
Because I was not a Jew.



Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Says it all I think
