In his new book, Australian journalist Adam Shand takes a look at the local motorcycle scene and its history - the clashes between the MC scene and the judiciary, who were not afraid to use the laws they passed to destroy bikers and their clubs, but who banded together and took the fight to the politicians and police... This intriguing story begins in 1996 when then South Australian opposition leader Mike Rann heralded a new dark age. He warned of a looming biker war, which the state government has so far ignored, even though it is said to be a great danger. Rann told parliament that a New Zealand police investigation into trans-Tasman gang activity had revealed that by the year 2000 there would be only six Australian clubs: the Hells Angels, Outlaws, Bandidos, Rebels, Black Uhlans and Nomads. This will be the remainder of the original number of over fifty clubs, which will reportedly be reduced by force or agreement to these named six exclusive clubs. The roots of the biker subculture that emerged in Adelaide in the late 1960s were purely social. Every Saturday afternoon, members gathered outside Burnie's Bar on Rundle Street, long before the street became a pedestrianised area. They hung around all afternoon, talking about motorbikes and swapping recent war stories of life on the road. All bikers were welcome, even if they formed clubs under different signs. Earlier clubs included the Undertakers, who were mostly sons of European emigrants, and the Iroquois, who were English boys from Elizabeth. The Filthy Few club became the Mandamas (meaning "we command" in Latin) after the Hells Angels protested the Filthy Few name, which they considered to be owned by their club. There were Reapers, Barbarians and a number of other clubs, making up a population of about 200 bikers in 1974. Shand glosses over the often incomprehensible attitudes of not only the police but also the government, which spent considerable resources fighting the "illusory enemy" that the bikers represented. Also interesting is a rather extensive interview with the legendary Sonny Barger. Format 148 x 210 mm, 272 pages
