After trolling through hours of archives I've managed to piece together a slightly accurate and informative package which includes some great old footage on the history of bikers, their lifestyles and culture.

Mate that was funny, I enjoyed that immensely, I've also seen the scene change over the last 40+ years, when I started riding in 1978, bikers were generally a kindred spirit, if you broke down one would stop to help, and you'd get a nod from a passing biker, nowadays thats pretty rare, as "biking" as you say become a wannabe thing, it seems, now whether the likes of Charlie and Ewan have done that made it more accessible to the masses I don't know or even if thats a good thing or not tbh !!! I worked in a bike shop a few times over the years, and the last time about 10/12 years ago, we'd get all these wannabe newbie bikers coming in, mainly 40+ somethings, with a few quid in their pockets from being an accountant or some such, and decided they eventually want to get a bike, because as a kid mummy wouldn't let them, they would buy gear, and they'd spend £50-100 UK on a basic pisspot helmet, yet when you asked what bike they'd bought it generally was a £20K+ Harley, or Indian... just incredible 🙄 but then a biker newbie or not is another person on 2 wheels, which can't be bad.

My crew's a bit of a mix on new and old riders. the one thing we do have in common is having a bloody good laugh with a few beers in hand after a day on the road. The only time I got pissed off with people i was riding with was doing Route 66 tour with a group of randoms, many of which found it too hot and tiring and were always wanting to get to the next hotel as quick as possible.

In the 80's I remember rocking up for a job with my woman on the bitch seat. I did the interview, got the job. It was in Beenleigh Qld. The woman was sitting/lounging on the bike. I walked out from the interview and there were massive apologies. Then they explained that they worked for the joint, but were Bikies, not Bikers. Please accept their apologies. Sure, I just got the job. The next day I rocked up with colours on. I was not a "Bikie". Although, there was a bloke with Norseman MC tattooed onto his arm. He was from Adelaide of course - I know, because I had Mandamas MC tattooed onto mine in the same place.

Holster, stage screen and LIFE magazine, did a number on the folks who rode in clubs. Never an issue, until politics got involved with jus a ride to then a small town to get away. My grand father, a member of a club called “ Clapping Gooses” motorcycle club which most were veterans from the World War II. Just traveling to meet other clubs. Never any issues or arrests. The political fever could let that happen, so they made it all up to scare the folks. Make hate! Not fun! Californias politicians still at it today.
