Hawk, I have friends that belong to the Ulysses Club. Those are all people over 40, most of them at retiring age, having a good time together while raising funds for charities and looking out for one another.

They are very incensed that young, whippersnapper cops can stop and question them at will as if they were some criminals.

Some long weekends we have a group of about 30+ stop off in our town on their way to Willsons Promontory. All those bikes lined up along the main street looks ominous, while the riders are having lunch in one of the many eating places we have in town.

Now I can just imagine a bunch of policemen descending on our little country town because some paranoid person pushed the panic button.

i think most of them are scared of the outlaws so they pick the easier targets.

much as i don't like the outlaw patches, i think the law in qld is stupid . but newman and his government are stupid and will only send people underground .. i mean having clearly identified outlaws (its written on them derrr..) is worse than having the same people doing much the same anonymously ? unable to be identified ? going from knowing who's who to having no idea is an improvement ? what a bunch of drongoes

Now that about sums it up, drive the 1% clubs underground and then waste police time harrasing law abiding social clubs.

Seems to make a lot of sense

From the OP :Mr Lennard said the AMC met a few weeks ago with Queensland's police minister and police commissioner to express its concerns, and another meeting is scheduled for Tuesday next week.

"Our main push is against this profiling of riders by Queensland police who want to ask questions of anyone riding a motorcycle about connections with proscribed organisations," he said.

Mr Lennard said the AMC also wanted police to abandon the suggestion recreational riders register their events to avoid police attention, describing it as silly.

If the need to register events is removed ...couldn't any group of riders determine for themselves that ''their group' is a group of recreational riders rather than a group which may require police attendence ?

I don't know what exactly is going on .

At times the Police treat me as though I may be a drunk driver ...that's easily disproven though .

Went to visit a parents grave and there was a bikie funeral, no problems except trying to find a park because there were police cars at the end of each street standing watch.

Waste of tax dollars to watch over the funeral of from what it looked like a members parent beeing buried and made my visit to the cematery hard,

Ahhhhh Queensland is rgeressing back to the good old days of Sir Joe and his secret police!

Also stay tuned for strikes on the Gonski turnaround.

For someone that believes he speaks for most Australians, Tony's leadership will be filled with allot of protests and I am sure he will try and silence them using police who will be the bad guys when ordered to shut any protests down.

The bikers should ditch the colours and start wearing Hugo Boss.Then the fuzz can harass the big end of town.

My son in law who's a Harley Rider and runs a m/cycle workshop in Mackay is incensed by the police crackdown on bikers as well, but really, I can see the police need to take a hard line re bikie gangs in light of the violence by certain gangs in past years. Public safety must come first.

I feel the kind of people who make up some or the modern bikie gangs are to blame.

all of the offences they commit could be dealt with under existing law if that was the objective ( which it isn't) the objective is to appear tough on crime.

i have seen quite a few pics of the various venues, they got a good turn out and looked as though it was all well organised.

It astounds me how many people still believe that these laws are only going to be applied to outlaw clubs.
