Not sure, unless they are all members of a Qld "Gang".Originally Posted by MDM
Don't believe all the hype Dave.
Some of us are putting in plenty of K's
in groups and it's business as usual.
(But we are a "high bars / waistcoats with badges" free group)
Looks like we have to be careful what we wear now when entering licensed premises.

I see the Scorpions are listed as an outlawed gang.
Wonder what would happen if I wore this T shirt to the pub?
I was about to start up a fishing club called the Hells Anglers, maybe I should rethink the name now...
Don't laugh TK it looks like the powers that be are wanting to introduce this shit down your way.....
From one of the lads on the Katana forum:
".........my brother commutes on an XL500S - during the course of the commute bikes end up congregating to better make use of space and better visibility etc.
So of course the inevitable happened - all 4 bikes got pulled over - photos taken, questioned about how they know each other, "gang" type activity etc.
......none of the commuters had ever spoken with or met each other - most were on 250's and none of them wore open face black helmets, rode either cruisers/H-D's or were wearing "colours" other than their regular biker PPE."
And so the ads keep telling us "Law abiding bike riders have nothing to fear".
Get fucked Mr Newman.
Pulled over for lane splitting, perhaps?
If they ride anything like I did when I worked in the CBD, it's pretty much lane splitting all the way. I was pulled over a few times for that, but once they realised I wasn't a kid and didn't give them any lip they let me off with the "lecture".
The photos is a bit different, but other than that bikes getting pulled over for little (or no) reason is nothing new.
This shit will pass soon enough once something else grabs the publics' attention...
This is exactly right mate. If you show a monkey a photo of a GPZ 250 with a hipster teenager on it, then a photo of a 1%er in colours on a Harley, monkey just sees a bike. How can you give this kind of power to people that have the same brain as the monkey in this situation?
Seen some interesting, and depressing stuff this week.

That Townsville paper one did the rounds in here and on our Facebook group as well: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...45441862147148
Ah cool, didn't know about that! Yeah just spotted the other thread too, pardon me for the double post. I can't believe I'm actually with the QPU on this one - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-10-2...o-quit/5034698
Have you read this latest shit?

It may be blown out of proportion should the event actually happen, as surely judges are known for their common sense and ability to see things for what they are, but check the last scenario example.
It's ok guys. If you want to ride in a group of 3 or more, you can ring a police hotline and you won't be harassed.
More here- http://motorbikewriter.com/2013/10/3...ti-bikie-laws/Motorcycle riders will now have to ring a police hotline number if they want to ride in groups of three or more in peace.
That is the preposterous proposal given to recreational riders today at an hour-long meeting with Queensland Police Minister Jack Dempsey and Police Commissioner Ian Stewart and Taskforce Maxima representatives over the implementation of the so-called Vicious Lawless Associations Disestablishment (VLAD) Act .
Hello Mr Policeman me and my friends would like to go for a ride tomorrow if that is alright with you kind sir.
Oh what's that? Our route? Well why not then you can follow us the whole way...
Words fail me..........
If you tell them where you're riding, expect Highway patrols, Transport inspectors looking for mods, licence checks, radar and RBTs along the way. Knob heads.
I can't believe that was a serious statement, calling in to go for a ride. Jules better let them know he is coming to nfr, he might get stopped at the border, mistaken for a vicious French bikie leaving Queensland.
I wonder how many false ride routes they will get.... Maybe call and let them know the route that you commute to work on, just in case you ride near another couple of bikes.

The guy getting questioned for wearing a Sons of Anarchy t-shirt was a pisser.....

years ago, when i was on my L's, i had a virago 250 (insert derisive laughter here). i got pulled over for going a bit quick through a corner coming home from work, maybe 1am.
The cops asked me what club i rode with. I laughed at them as i explained that it was a 250cc japanese bike. Stupid cops are still about, but in QLD they now have the backing of ridiculous and poorly planned laws.
