I’ve just heard from a friend of a friend that the AFP are expecting the arrival of a bunch of Rebel motorcycle gang members over the coming weekend.

Would anyone be able to confirm or deny this? If it’s true, what’s the big occasion?

Just drove past the club house. Hundreds of them being noisy and annoying. A single police car keeping a eye on them.

About a dozen having a drink o. Green Square

Some influx – haven’t seen one yet.

That’s coz they’re incognito impersonating smurfs 🙂

I’d imagine the clubhouse in Thurralilly St will be a rockin!

I was stuck in traffic in Pialligo while they came through. They had quite a police reception (initially I thought it was going to be some important foreign person being escorted to the airport) – apparently last time they came through they didn’t bother stopping at red lights.

After picking up some supplies at Bunnings in Fyshwick I saw the police even had their “beast” on patrol (http://the-riotact.com/canberra-gets-a-beast-behold-the-lenco-engineering-armoured-rescue-vehicle/44778). Driving past the petrol station a bunch of them had just stopped right in the middle of the road to consult a map or something – with Canberra traffic coyly and discretely queuing patiently behind these gentlemen…

Some influx – haven’t seen one yet.

It appears a group of bikers have just been given a police escort down the Federal Highway and Majura Road to Fyshwick.

Drove back from Sydney today: 2 major chokepoints established – the first near Nepean Dam, the second before the Majura Rd turnoff. Moderate disruption at both, plenty of police and the occasional smattering of bikers (some Rebels, others without ‘colours’). Quite a few plainclothes / unmarked cars along the way as well.

ACT Policing is reporting a motorcycle accident on Majura Road and an ambulance has been dispatched.

And you’re worried because?

If there’s going to be a flood of hoodlums rolling into town over the weekend, and the cops are putting on extra hands to prepare for it then that seems like something to be aware of.

Flood of hoodlums? As apposed to a know it all name calling keyboard warrior?

Its a LWE, police are currently on a speeding blitz, a few extra bikies in town, big fricken deal. Be sure to stay indoors, no one wants to smell your sh*t stained pants should a group of ‘hoodlum’ ride past you on their bikes.

It’s not often that RA user names mean much of anything, but yours fits perfectly. You really are a pitchka.

I wondered how long it would take for that very descriptive croatian word to be used in anger 🙂

And for those Australians who don’t speak Croatian here’s what the words translate into: http://www.youswear.com/index.asp?language=Croatian#.UG7L_I6m8t0

I hope a shootout or something else exciting happens. Maybe some bullet holes and bikie bloodstains will add some much needed character to some of the “art”works in this town.

So which motorcycle group does Pat Seears brother belong to?

I read it as they are going from melbs, to syd, then to canberra as final destination. We could be hosting them all over night!!

Oh no! Canberra might just have it’s own ‘Hollister incident’!

Quite right,thank you.

I read it as they are going from melbs, to syd, then to canberra as final destination. We could be hosting them all over night!!

So there will be approx 2000 Rebs(apparently their total membership from 70 chapters) stopping over in town on their way from Melbourne to Sydney.That will be a sight to behold!

Tsk tsk….Ive been called worse, so thankyou for the compliment.

Fancy lunch at Robbo’s Harley Davidson in Fyshwick today? my shout?

I asked a polite question here, and you came back with some deluded rambling about keyboard warriors and the state of my undies. After giving that some thought, I’ve decided that I have no interest whatsoever in meeting you.

Enjoy your lunch.

Thats a shame, i was even willing to let you pay…

As tough as this all sounds, I believe that the lunch would have consisted of 2 full cream latte’s with two smallish gentlemen with pinkie’s raised at each sip, giggling like children about how big and tough they both must seem online.

Hear, hear!
And let’s hope the police are out in force to keep Russell Field indoors and out of the way. If there’s one thing worse than sht-stained pants, it’s sht-stained leathers.

Russell who?? They apparently snuck him out the back door and he has disappeared into the wild blue yonder with a new identity and his own personal security after Higgins let him off.Surely the Rebs let sleeping dogs lie?

I hear your concerns regular Rioters.?
May I suggest that you take out your hearing aids for the weekend (so the noise of mufflers does not affect you), hide your grand-daughters (so they are not violated by bikers), put away your walking frames, so bikers don’t steal them for fun, and hide your false teeth, and do not forget to attach your colostomy bags, if you are so scared. 🙂

Well, yes, you’re right of course. After all, when a bunch of these blokes get together what could possibly go wrong

I didint realise every gathering resulted in a murder.. Accept my apologies…
Will be looking out for the homocide squads frantically driving from place to place this weekend, trying to keep up with all the killings..

Rebels and HOGS are two different groups. There may be some crossover of membership (doubtful) and maybe even both groups are coming to Canberra. Will there be rioing in the streets or dancing? Dont know but keep watching the skies!!

😀
Big ups Pitchka, you p0wned overly-concerned citizen.

I assume that any police interest would be about keeping the Rebels safe? They seem to have a history of being hurt while in Canberra.

I hate to say it but this regular influx of bikers is needed to maintain the Eco structure and human diversity of the nation’s capital.

Have you ever noticed how many single mums there are in the vicinity of places that hold events like these?

What occurs here is a minor form of terrestrial Panspermia.

Panspermia proposes that life forms that can survive the effects of a foreign space and may travel in a dormant state for an extended amount of time before colliding randomly with other planets and if met with ideal conditions on a new planet’s surfaces, the bacteria become active and the process of evolution begins.

This also happens on a much smaller scale in places like Canberra, where the dull rumble of the Harley Davidson puts the rider in a semi aroused state where he unknowingly starts to leak his reproductive liquids into the air like a thick cloud of fertile pheromones as he rides along.

These basic building blocks of sub-life then float around in the local atmosphere until they come into contact with a susceptible female in the general vicinity who is also un-knowingly affected by the rumbling vibrations caused by the large bikes or reproductive catalysts as they are sometimes known.

The low rumbles affect the female in such a way that she becomes highly fertile without realizing it. This has been linked to the enjoyment some women get when they ride a large bike.
When the two come into contact, the effect is almost immediate and the offspring is quickly conceived while the mother is distracted by the smell and the noise. The female assumes that any sickness is the result of vehicle exhaust pollution.

In the months to follow, the female will begin to grow and start to wear more flannelette material, smoke, drink and whine more. In most cases they also adopt an “A” on the end of their first name or completely foreign spelling of it (e.g. Sharon – Shazza, Cahrlene – Chaarloine).

If she has had a partner or in this time, he will leave her for someone less fertile with normal colored hair as he would not possibly believe how any of this has occurred.

And that is why we have some single mothers on the Northside and lots of motor events.

Almost funny… Almost.

Truth hits too close to home? Did you grow up next to the fairgrounds?

Someone has phoned Ray Hadley’s 2CC show this morning saying there was a confrontation between Rebels and the cops at the Yass service centre.

They’re coming …

In that case they have a duty of care to inform the public that they are expecting trouble.

Really? Is that written down somewhere?

A quick check of the Canberra Times funeral notices shows a particular funeral this Friday that some may be attending.

At this time of the year? Floriade

Family and community day, obviously. Y’know, because really they’re all cuddly, family-oriented nice-guys under the gruff, criminal exterior.

Oh that. yeah I heard there’s a leather and lace theme night at the mustang ranch.
