Righti-bloody-o! Gday all the new kids. Im BOOF. I live in Queensland. I run a bike shop. I ride. As a result of some pretty shit behaviour from some 1% clubs on the tourist strip known as THe Gold Coast shit went sideways. A brawl in a crowded coffee shop filled with tourists with camera phones forced the cops and the governments hand to a certain extent.Its not like the old days when shit was kept at a club level and sorted out of the publics eye. A few bad apples ****** it up for everyone. An innocent sheila gets shot by a big steroid pumped ice affected numbnut in a ******* shopping mall. Steroids and meth are out of control with alot of these blokes.They were getting around like a law unto themselves and not sticking with the code of keeping innocents out of club stuff. The bubble had to burst. So we get a new government and this little shitbag is out to make a name for himself. He introduced a blanket ban on anyone riding in a group larger than 3 people.He lobbied the supreme court to make club logo's criminal gang emblems.( the Rebel flag is illegal in a licenced premisis here). He made it illegal for anyone with a criminal gang affiliation to own certain business and made clubhouse off limits. Motorcycle related business's folded over night. Families were broken up. It was generally shit for anyone who rode a bike. Bike shows stopped. Charity poker runs were no longer raising money for childrens hospitals or families in need.Shit was unbareable. People stopped riding. Everyone was under suspicion.We were all affiliated to someone in a 1% club. THese people were my mates, my customers and we were all living under the threat of being guilty of association. 2 weeks ago we had a state election here in Queensland and a new government got in on the platform of relaxing these laws. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the new mob of lying bastards are gonna stick up our arses now. The criminals are everywhere,not just in bike clubs. The cops have ample laws to prosecute the criminals in clubs. The way things are alot of good people had to suffer for the actions of a few fucktards. So i guess what im saying is it aint illegal to be a biker. Ya just cant be a 1% club member atm.We ride as a social club and have bugger all drama with cops.
CHEERS BOOF
