Big Bad "Bikie Gangs"

by Steve
Friday, May 11, 2007

Baby BikerI happened on an article published in an Australian newspaper describing problems with local "bikie gangs"...

http://www.gcbulletin.com.au/..../ 5091_news.html

I thought, what the Hell is a "bikie"?

Then I realized it's just their way of saying, "biker".

Here in the States, anytime we add the letters "ie" to end of a noun, it's done to make it sound like cute and playful (e.g.: doggies, kiddies, fishies, etc.)

So I ended up with this vision of several four and five year olds riding bicycles with training wheels, wearing tank-tops, doo-rags, "lick'em & stick'em" tattoos, and running roughshod over the next-door neighbor's tulip beds.

Except the bikie gangs described in the newspaper were manufacturing and distributing methamphetamines. So I guess they were a little older.

  • I live in Australia and ride a HD Street Rod. "Bikies" are the badass element. Often HD riding, involved in crime etc.."Bikers" are the rest of the motorcycle fraternity.
