Australia Riders-hope this doesn't affect you all

[Aimhigh]

Don't know what is going on down-under...but I sure hope it doesn't affect you all. Sounds like a bad situation.

Any member of a biker gang should be shot down like a rabid dog.

I don't usually rant, and I absolutely hate too see the club politics go to extremes such as this, but...

 

Unfortunately, there is too much of a fine line ( how they are dressed, type of insignia on the back, etc...) between 1% biker "gang" , and lots of good bike clubs, and just members of organizations like ABATE or CMA.

 

Any laws need to be about the crime, not nessesarily the association. Could drag too many good people into restrictions on account of the acts of a small few (1%).

 

As Regional (county) Rep of our local Statewide Motorcycle Rights Organization (ABATE of WI), we have a regional officer from a local bike club, and regular attendees from that club and another club and members of CMA and Blue Knights, all at the ABATE meeting to help keep them all enjoying the freedom of the open road.

 

We can't be outlawing the motorcycle "gangs" a whole, because it affects way too many good riders out there.

Found out from National Terror alert that it was a Muslim biker gang.

They have Muslim biker gangs? Whoda thunk it.

Some pretty tasteless responses to the original post, in my opinion.

 

As bad as it may be to paint all bikers with the same (violence and crime) brush, people here are showing the same narrow-minded attitude toward Muslims and/or other minorities.

 

Maybe I just don't see the humor in a cold-blooded public killing.

I seen this and yes gangs are problem and a bane to all who ride. I can see where they will try to hide their activity by calling themselves a club, and you can see where that will lead.

You are right. Posts have been deleted. Not my normal style. Did taxes this weekend and didn't get much sleep.
