The Aussie accent is so thick I had to put the subtitles ON. Great video ! 🙂

The Yellow Jackets were the racing club off shoot of The Boozefighters. Ernie Roccio was a part of it and eventually went to England to race for the Wimbledon Dons during the early 50s.

Loved the comical & profane Aussie narrator, and couldn't believe how outrageous some of those movies were. GREAT film footage!

The wild one is what gave all bikers their image.

Mate that was funny, I enjoyed that immensely, I've also seen the scene change over the last 40+ years, when I started riding in 1978, bikers were generally a kindred spirit, if you broke down one would stop to help, and you'd get a nod from a passing biker, nowadays thats pretty rare, as "biking" as you say become a wannabe thing, it seems, now whether the likes of Charlie and Ewan have done that made it more accessible to the masses I don't know or even if thats a good thing or not tbh !!! I worked in a bike shop a few times over the years, and the last time about 10/12 years ago, we'd get all these wannabe newbie bikers coming in, mainly 40+ somethings, with a few quid in their pockets from being an accountant or some such, and decided they eventually want to get a bike, because as a kid mummy wouldn't let them, they would buy gear, and they'd spend £50-100 UK on a basic pisspot helmet, yet when you asked what bike they'd bought it generally was a £20K+ Harley, or Indian... just incredible 🙄 but then a biker newbie or not is another person on 2 wheels, which can't be bad.

My crew's a bit of a mix on new and old riders. the one thing we do have in common is having a bloody good laugh with a few beers in hand after a day on the road. The only time I got pissed off with people i was riding with was doing Route 66 tour with a group of randoms, many of which found it too hot and tiring and were always wanting to get to the next hotel as quick as possible.

At the 2:39 mark did I see a Henderson crash?

Great Clip.

If Australia had ever built it's own motorbike or own culture I might take this seriously. It is and was always a creative fucking wasteland. I can't see that changing.

What? because of my accent or my mumbling or the complex structure of my story telling?

I lived it in the 60s 70s and 80s..................now I got one foot in the grave

In the 80's I remember rocking up for a job with my woman on the bitch seat. I did the interview, got the job. It was in Beenleigh Qld. The woman was sitting/lounging on the bike. I walked out from the interview and there were massive apologies. Then they explained that they worked for the joint, but were Bikies, not Bikers. Please accept their apologies. Sure, I just got the job. The next day I rocked up with colours on. I was not a "Bikie". Although, there was a bloke with Norseman MC tattooed onto his arm. He was from Adelaide of course - I know, because I had Mandamas MC tattooed onto mine in the same place.

I like your "in the beginning" 😅

thanks for the video! the word Biker has so much baggage; I choose to identify as a rider.

Great job putting that together, you tell a good story. I'm glad you didn't show the current crop of Aussie Bikies all roided up in their gym gear. Looks like they spend way more time in front of a mirror preening themselves than actually riding a bike.

Holster, stage screen and LIFE magazine, did a number on the folks who rode in clubs. Never an issue, until politics got involved with jus a ride to then a small town to get away. My grand father, a member of a club called “ Clapping Gooses” motorcycle club which most were veterans from the World War II. Just traveling to meet other clubs. Never any issues or arrests. The political fever could let that happen, so they made it all up to scare the folks. Make hate! Not fun! Californias politicians still at it today.

The intro alone demonstrated what bikes are all about. Oh sure, you can go down the "freedom of two wheels" and "the brotherhood of riding" but in all reality it boils down to two things: Boobs, and butts. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Comments about modern cyclist got immediate sub and like from me.😂

I've had this argument with my brother. I probably haven't explained it properly in the video but motorcyclists weren't called bikers/bikies until relatively recently. According to my research the first recorded use of the term "Biker" when referencing motorcyclists was by an American journalist in the early 70's. The term took off in the US and of course Aussies being Aussies adopted the term "Bikie" instead. In the following couple of decades "Bikie" transformed to mean more 1%ers than everyday riders as we started to user "Biker" to describe the rest. My brother hates that term as it's too American, but love it or hate it that's what they've come to mean.

@@1couple2bikes theres still two types of "the rest".. theres bikers, and motorcyclists. the biker being the type who makes it a lifestyle choice, and the motorcyclist being the type who just happens to have a motorcycle, probably because its cheap to buy/run or they can lane filter while commuting, or theres not much parking at work, or it was left to him by his granddad or some other 'purely for incidental' reason.. the three camps are easily summed up in few words liek this : bikers - ride for the love of two wheels, motorcyclists - ride for practicality, bikies - ride and dressup in costumes to make up for small penises
