What episode is that?

 

[Roobs321]

What episode is that?

I cant remember exactly, but it was the major plot of the episode. I think they started calling bikies '******s', because the town was tired of their noise pollution.

 

[bunsen burner]

I know.

Riding groups im involved in usually just partake in riding to country pubs, having a beer and a steak, then riding home.

Such monsters we are!

Reality check:

You're not really a bikie. You're a biker. This thread's context is clearly around patched bikies (1%ers).

 

[St 07]

I used to work in a factory directly opposite a clubhouse, until the gang broke in and destroyed a shitload of stock and items in an attempt to get us to move and get the factory for themselves. I wasn't too affected by the loss as the boss was a literal scumbag (which I had found out days later)

The clubhouse is a fortified bunker. I'd talk to quite a few of them from time to time and they really seemed okay from the outset. They invited me in to a party after work one time, my god were the beers cheap, was a great night.

One of the employees at this factory told me some horror stories, particularly about what it takes to start out and go up the ranks in the club. Some pretty messed up stuff. Who knows if any of that was actually true though.

Then I saw one of the guys just starting in the city at a pub, escorting some girl, and he was a complete and utter w***er.

From what I've learned in this thread, if a biker asks you to a party, dont go

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for one of their inner meetings, but would never knowingly walk into a bikie bar

They can do what they do over there, and I'll do what I do over here

 

[MaddAdam]

There was also another biker that was dealt with over inappropriate conduct with a minor.

Very severely.

Far more severely than the catholic church seem to handle these matters.

Difference is the becassocked fiddlers would probably enjoy that sort of punishment.

 

[MaddAdam]

Clear cut self defence. He was an extreme version of the usual clown that provokes trouble with bikers and gets in waaaay over their heads as a result.

Just stay away from them and leave them alone.

When I was hitching in Canada I spent two days in a big road train thing with a truckie and his mate who was Rock Machine. Great guy, awesome stories, kept me stoned and in beers the whole way. Only bad experience was his giant rottweiler kept eating the chocolate milks I would buy at roadstops. Like bite into them then lap up the resultant chocolate goodness.

That said, would I have ever engaged in any form of business or transaction with this gent - no way.

Believe me i know.

Others in here seem to confuse the two though, so thanks for clearing that up for those that confuse motorcyclist with violent criminal.

What episode is that?

It's called "the f word" and it's so funny because it's true. And believe me, it's collectively taking the piss out of "bikers" and "bikies" (didn't know that distinction existed) - guys who ride bikes around in groups is who they are referring to.

Plot

While trying to enjoy a nice quiet day to themselves, the boys as well as the citizens of South Park grow increasingly more troubled and annoyed by a large group of Harley-Davidson Riders who are frequently driving throughout the town on their motorcycles causing as much noise as possible. The riders it turns out are attention whores who deliberately drive around town loudly under the false assumption that the loud noise and obnoxioius behavior it will cause people to think that they are cool. Their desire for attention is so intense, that they even start making the engine sounds with their mouths when not riding their bikes and still doing so when they are. Finally fed up, Cartman confronts the bikers and informs them that no one thinks they're cool, but instead thinks that they are total ******s.
The bikers refusing to believe this, drive around town only to be called **** again by every child they come across, including Ike Broflovski. Unable to comprehend why the kids wouldn't think they cool, the leader of the Riders, come to the realization that kids nowadays are surrounded by loud things all the time and they just have to turn up the noise. As such, they trick-out their motorcycles with anything that can make loud obnoxious sounds, ranging from horns to live chickens to make their rides louder. This pushed the boys into taking action, and along with Clyde,Token, Butters and Jimmy assemble to plot out how to take-down the Harley Riders. Butters however is confused that the boys would want to do such a thing, as he himself wants to be a Harley Rider in the hopes of getting attention for himself. Stan immediately dismisses Butters, and they continue with their planning process. While Stan and Kyle intend to spray paint "**** get out" on several buildings around town, Cartman along with Clyde's help plans defecating on all their bike seats using nothing but some K.F.C. The final touch to Cartman's plan involves planting little flags in them that call the Riders "****".
The plan works in making the Riders uncomfortable, but it has an inadvertent affect on the gay population, as Big Gay Al and Mr. Slave see the "**** get out" messages and assume it was aimed at homosexuals. The school board, the Mayor, and local homosexuals become outraged by the graffiti and take it as an homophobic message. The Mayor address South Park Elemetary for answers, and the boys admit to being responsible which shocks the adults. However, the boys explain that their use of the word *** was not aimed at homosexuals, but rather the Harley Riders citing "You can be gay and not a ***."
The boys push to town hall to recognize the word, "***", is used nowadays for a contemptible and inconsiderate person who normally rides a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and 'bike-curious' refers to someone who doesn't own a Harley but wants to. The city leaders find the boy's argument to make a lot of sense, and even the gay community, led by Big Gay Al, supports the boys, resulting in an ordinance being passed in South Park allowing for the word to be used differently. Unfortunately the decision is met with negative publicity from the rest of the nation, who say that as long as the word still defines homosexuals in the dictionary then they are just going to be seen as anti-progressive and homophobic.
Facing pressure from the mayor, the boys decide to push to update the term with the help of the English Dictionary Officiates which is led by Emmanuel Lewis. An event is held in town, but the Harley-Davidson riders who are furious at being called **** and do not want the word to be officially associated with the riders, come together and riot to crash the event, trying to stop the change. After having inflicted a lot of damage to the town and scaring off the citizens, they corner the boys in an alley. They threateningly ask the boys if they still think them to be ****, to which the frighten boys say "yes, you are complete ****", not understanding that the whole point of the riot was to convince them otherwise. The boys are confused that the Harley Riders don't want to be called **** but are behaving like them. Butters then steps forward to try and explain the beauty of being a Harley Rider, but it has little affect on the boys, leading the Riders to prepare to kill them. Thankfully the South Park's gay men advocates step in and turn their shotguns on the Riders ordering them leave the boys alone and get out of town. In the end, the riders ultimately accept to be called "****", attempting to claim it as a badge of honor rather than an insult.
Emmanuel Lewis, badly injured from the riot, declares to have the definition changed. The town rejoices and celebrates, and the show cuts to the updated definition of "***", which reads: "*** (făg) n. 1. An extremely annoying, inconsiderate person most commonly associated with Harley riders. 2. A person who owns or frequently rides a Harley."

[La Dispute]

What are our thoughts on these individuals?

They don't seem to cop as much flak as other social groups but an argument could easily be made that being above forty and conforming to a certain lifestyle and look is a bit strange.

FTR I have only ever met nice bikers and they almost always seem to have normal families.

Discuss.

 

[Coxy_]

Haven't got a problem with blokes that just love riding with their mates. We all like what we like. Not a fan of clubs where they're a pack of bogan, violent thugs. Most of those pussies wouldn't have a crack at anyone without their mates there as backup.

 

[JDC!]

Wasn't there a similar thread about a month ago?

 

[Quivorir]

Yes.

 

[Quivorir]

And here we go again.

 

[Wright Away]

There is already another thread where you can discuss your lack of masculinity.

Are you a biker?

 

[vealesy]

Are you a biker?

Are you trying to intimidate a group that gets pleasure from risking their lives?

Where do you think this will end up?

Short answer, no..

Not all bikers are out trafficking drugs, fighting over territory and being involved in organised crime. They are who I am more interested in.

 

[vealesy]

Aka bikies, not bikers. Massive difference.

 

[Djcjdees]

So the HA having sawn off pool cues and using it on punters all day or having knives is not really an issue? Or the fact that the HA were just being arsewipes all day?

I'm not saying what he did was the right thing but theres a reason why he went back to the car and got his gun. He told people the reasons why he had a gun that day and it was not loaded. Bad judgement yes..just as bad as the rolling stones and the organisers thinking that hiring the HA was a good idea.

Also 28 times and constant kicking until his died was justified?

Anyway the guy who stabbed him got his own back found in 1985 floating in a river with 10k on him which was the amount Hunters mother was paid in an out of court settlement.

Don't worry dude. Victim blaming is a fun pastime on BF

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

He pulled a gun for ****s sake!

 

[Phenotype]

Bikers came into my restaurant. Huge blokes, colours, acting tough.

Biggest guy orders a salad and a diet coke...

About six years ago, four members of the HA rocked up at a West Melbourne brothel - colours and Harleys and all. Three of the goons were all serious looking, standing as a protective shield around the buffed, short haired and clean shaven Sergeant at Arms, a look that totally belied the bearded bikie stereotype. Though he was cracking jokes with the staff, the Sarge had an unequivocally intimidating presence to all in the room. My mate and I, along with several of the waiting patrons, were just standing around, some obviously silent in fear, and not really knowing what to do lol Social visit? Debt collection? Proposition? Who the **** knows. Then all the bikies headed outside to show the staff and working girls their Harleys. As an unspoken act of courtesy, all the patrons including us followed them outside to see what was going on. This somehow proved to be an icebreaker and we ended up chatting bikes. One of the working girls amusingly helped herself by sitting on a Harley and making noises. One of the bikies told her to get off, but she stayed on it a little longer. Then came another warning. For everyone's sake we were hoping she heeded the warning fast, and so she finally did. He wouldn't have been so polite if it were someone else.

After about half an hour chatting, they all came back inside and scooted on to another room out the back with the brothel host. After they left, when asked what that was all about, the host whom I've known for years told me they were selling him a grandfather clock, but I could tell he was fibbing. Mmkay... then I just left it at that. Always best not to know too much.

It turns out this group was from the same chapter who attended the Chaouk funeral a few years later. Then only recently, the Sargeant and his associates were doing time for a serious assault on a patron at a pub (kicking and stomping him, mangling his toes with bolt cutters).

Tough guys.

 

[CLUBMEDhurst]

Tough guys!

A minor dispute over a runaway dog has resulted in the arrest of the Hells Angels' serjeant-at-arms, the alleged assault of a grandmother and a major drug bust.

It was a story that should have ended happily if not for the gang member's hair-trigger temper.

It began when bikie heavy Peter ''Skitzo'' Hewat's lost white shih tzu terrier was found by a kind-hearted lady near his Craigieburn home last week.

The 62-year-old put out posters of the dog around the neighbourhood trying to find the legitimate owner.



According to police, Mrs Skitzo rang the woman and, instead of thanking her, showed a distinct lack of gratitude.

Police say Mr Hewat fronted at the woman's house last Sunday and tried to force his way through the front door.

When she blocked his entry police allege the big tough bikie punched her in the jaw, leaving deep bruising and swelling.

Naturally, she sought medical and law enforcement assistance, only to find that she received another unwelcome visit on the Monday.

This time it was two unidentified men who threatened her with a pistol and told her to withdraw her complaint. Unlike a host of businessmen, publicans and heavy crooks, the grandmother would not be intimidated.
