Patches/Gangs/1% MCs

[sunhuntin]

Some time in the 50's there were some nasty riots in America atributed to bikers, (it may have been at Daytona, not sure now). The main stream biker community came out and stated that the trouble makers that caused the riots were only 1% of the overall biker population. The loser bikie gangs liked the label and have adopted the 1% badge as a sign to all that they are the shit heads of this world and they are proud of it.

I'm curious.. While I was working security for Dame Te Ata's tangi I saw the usual variety of patched members turn up, but also saw a bunch of patches I've never seen or heard of before. Got me thinking, what gang's/MC's are out there that you know of?

Mongrel Mob (Nationwide) *
Black Power/Manga Kahu (Nationwide) *
Outcasts (Hamilton)
Outlaws (Napier)
Satans Slaves (Welly)
Hells Angels (Wanganui)
Highway 61 (Welly / Hawkes Bay)
Headhunters (Auckland)
Tribesmen (Auckland) *
Filthy Few (BOP) *
Magogs (New Plymouth)
Road Knights (South Island)
Mothers (Palmerston North)
45 MC (Auckland)

Only ones marked with an * were at the Tangi
Ones I saw at the tangi I didnt recognize were:
King Cobras
Huhu MC
Taupiri MC
Tribal Huk
United Bulldogs (Though I'm assuming this one was MMM related)
Anyone know anything about these ones? Or have others I didnt know of to add.

You mean to say that none of them removed their patches out of respect to the maori queen's funeral/tangi... For all the days of the tangi and at the actual funeral service and funeral procession, I would have thought a bit of respect wouldn't have gone amiss. Shame on them.


On big fundraiser bike runs up here in Auckland, the gangs remove their patches for those rides.

[_intense_]

there was a gang getting around Dirty Old Timaru, the Devils Henchmen?

Roadknights are Timaru, Devil's Henchmen are ChCh with HQ & 4 gang houses on Porthills Rd and other houses through out Woolston, Linwood, & Bromley

I think I'd rather call one of the other gangs if that happened.

.

Chances are they are probably already there

i remember one time we were doing a ride for my friends birthday and those tribesman dudes passed on the motorway. We were doing about 120ish... they were on 3 harleys and a speed tripple (WTF???).

The guy on the tripple had a pillion who pulled the fingers at us as they sped past an R6, two busa's and an X11. Good thing we were good samaritans or they woulda been roped in pretty quickly.

Yep, thats why I posted those links. Most of the 1%er's were initially disgruntled ex service men following WWII.

In the 70's It was considered cool to have a beer cloth mat sewn into your jeans, but sadly this did not bring any sponsorship deal with any of the giant brewery's.

Yeah, I was talking to one of the marae internal security guys at the pissup for the workers last night, and he was very unimpressed with that too. He made a comment along the lines of if they'd so much as blinked the wrong way on the marae they would have gotten the shit kicked out of them.

thats the one....and thats also something ive never understood. the original "gang" members were ex soldiers...people paraded as heroes in the battlefield. i dont understand how those same people, who fought for their country, can be spat on by the people they were called to protect.

and even now, a large number of the soldiers in iraq ride bikes. back in america, they likely get treated same as any lowlife biker. which sucks.

[mstriumph]

................if we where a gang wouldnt we have the biggest group of member's..........

ahhhhhh, where to start *sigh*

HITCHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont think those so called gang members would have had a problem if had,nt paraded themselves around like a pack of dipshits.

Gang members can be the nicest people. Ive sat down a a chats with quite a few. Its the gangs as a collective whole that are shit.
Its like manure, a small ammont helps your garden grow, alot makes you garden look like a pile of shit

Speaking of respect, did anyone see TV1 News on Monday night, 'live' from the tangi? Is it just me, or did it seem a tad tasteless to be standing on a marae, seemingly to pay respect to a much-loved woman, and reporting on rapes, murders and the like, while you could hear singing in the background?

And don't forget the Nomads - used to have quite a presence around Levin but I haven't heard much about them lately.
