AUSTRALIA TO BAN MOTORCYCLE CLUBS (they're also censoring the intenet but thats another story)The State of Canberra, Australia
said recently it would ban motorcycle gangs such as the Hells Angels
and the Bandidos in what the government said would be the world's
toughest crackdown on "terrorists within our community."South
Australian Premier Mike Rann named eight bike clubs he said were
involved in murder, drug trafficking, prostitution, extortion and
weapons smuggling. Clubs targeted by the ban would include the Finks,
the Rebels, the Gypsy Jokers, the Descendants, the Red Devils and
others.The Australian Crime Commission's 2006 report found there
were 35 outlaw motorcycle clubs in Australia, with 3,500 members. It
said 10 gangs had opened 26 new chapters in all six states last year.
Officials said the ban would involve around 200 members, as well as
associates. Outlawed members would be prohibited from meeting or
communicating, or risk five-year jail terms. Police would also be
empowered to dismantle club property and force members to account for
any unexplained wealth or income. QuantyaUSA officially
launched distribution of the Quantya FMX Electric Motorcycles for the
US market. Quantya is the first electric competition ready electric
motocross. Quantya electric motorcycles are manufactured in the Swiss
city of Lugano to deliver what they claim is the world's sturdiest and
technically advance dirt bike. All Quantya motorcycles are EC certified
and warranted for 2 years.Quantya FMX Motorcycles use advanced
Lithium Polymer Battery technology with proprietary electronics to
power its 14KW motor with a 47V or 74V battery. A typical fully charged
battery will launch the FMX to 40+ mph (governed) and give it a range
of up to 2.5 hours.

A York Region man connected to the Bandidosbiker gang pleaded guilty today to second degree murder in the beating death of Keswick drug dealer Shawn Douse. Two
other men connected to the Bandidos gang Cameron Acorn and Bobby
Quinn, both of Keswick each pleaded guilty to manslaughter and Pierre
(Carlitto) Aragon of Oakville pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in
the beating death of Douse in December 2005. Douse's body was
found in a North Pickering field. He had been set on fire and his hands
and feet were bound. His mouth was gagged and a bag was over his head. Ajax
court heard that the fatal beating took place when Douse was ambushed
by the men in a townhouse in Keswick owned by Jamie Flanz. Flanz was a
probationary member of the Bandidos, whose body was found in a car in a
farmer's field near Shedden, outside London, in April 2006. Flanz
was one of eight Bandidos murdered in what police called an "internal
cleansing" of the biker gang, which has since disbanded in Canada.
Court heard that Flanz played no part in the fatal beating of Douse. Court
heard today that Douse was also beaten by Paul (Big Paul) Sinopoli,
another of the eight Bandidos whose bodies were found outside Shedden. Court heard that Douse was lured to his death because Acorn was upset that Douse had been selling cocaine to family members. The men who pleaded guilty today will be sentenced at a later date.

--With an assault rifle between the handlebars and a rocket launcher
strapped to the side, Robert Harris' customized 1985 Harley-Davidson
was so wild that bikers hardly noticed the naked woman painted on the
motorcycle parked next to it.His motorcycle version of a
Vietnam War memorial -- and his denim vest, bandanna and camouflage
pants -- reflect how when he first started riding 48 years ago, "You
had to be hard core," he said.But organizers say the diverse
crowd of more than 20,000 people at Sunday's Thunder by the Bay
motorcycle festival showed that the culture has broadened.A motorcycle near Harris' well-armed bike was decorated with dolphins frolicking in a pastel sunset.The
diversity means more money for The Florida Center to help children and
families, a favorite fundraiser for the bikers who flock to Sarasota's
festival.Jerry "Roadkill" Galas, a nondenominational minister
and snake shop owner who enjoys gourmet cooking, performed the first
biker blessing at the event this year.A vendor was selling elk
hide leather chaps lined with rabbit fur for $395. Norma Eveland of
Fort Myers sported a leather vest with pink embroidery reading "Club
Diva," a women's bike club.Eveland is the executive director of
the March of Dimes in Fort Myers, and goes from cocktails and ballrooms
during the week to beer and the open road on the weekend."It keeps my life interesting," Eveland said.The Florida Center has raised more than $600,000 in the past nine years of the festival.The first festival had 100 riders and raised $100.This
year's edition, featuring famous bike builders, local live music, a
poker run, motocross demonstrations, and a downtown festival and bike
show, could top $100,000, organizers said.Some of the people at the festival said riding is synonymous with freedom, America and fun."There's
nothing like being on a bike and being at one with the earth," said
Larry Brotherton of Sarasota, sporting a red-orange goatee and shaved
head.NOTE: Please read. Then read again. And then read again. THen try and guess why I want to puke?
 Deputies make several arrests over the weekend in an attempt tostop a motorcyle gang from creating a club in Kern County.The
Sheriff's Department along with the Gang Enforcement targeted members
the Vagos outlaw motorcycle gang at the Happy Haven Trailer Park on
Lake Isabella Blvd. The Sheriff's Office was investigating the
possibility that the Vagos were looking at the Kern River Valley to
start a club.Deputies ended up arrested Michael Bryan Dunn 36,
Kevin Earl Corly 44, Christopher Peterson, 19 of the Lake Isabella area
and Clarence Hoffman 52, Shane Nursery 34, and Roy Virgin 51 of Goshen
Ca on charges of having weapons, drugs and gang member charges.During
this investigation Dunn and Corley were also charged with assault with
a deadly weapon, robbery, kidnapping, dissuading a witness, conspiracy
and gang charges. Those charges come from an early investigation in
which deputies say there could still be more arrests.******************************************************************* **********Ok
depending on which story you read this gig has been worded several
different ways. All of which are along the lines of they were arrested
"before" they could start the club in Kern Valley.So is that how it works now days? You get arrested before the fact? Welcome to America.
