The ABC's 7.30 has gained exclusive access to a rare meeting where the heads of rival motorcycle gangs have vowed to fight new laws designed to halt the wave of bikie related violence sweeping the country. What started out with a few shootings in western and south-western Sydney several months ago has erupted into a spate of drive-by attacks. Senior members of the country's most notorious bikie groups - the Hells Angels, The Rebels, The Lone Wolves, the Comancheros, the Nomads, the Black Uhlans - gathered on Monday night in a clubhouse in Western Sydney.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AWnxyGsvMM UPDATE: THEIR beards are greying, their tattoos fading and their influence waning. The bikie old guard is being pushed aside by a violent new breed of steroid-pumped, amphetamine-taking young rebels who are flexing their muscle in many of Queensland's 14 outlaw motorcycle gangs, crime experts say. Increasingly, the modern bikie is likely to be in his 20s or 30s and of Middle Eastern or Eastern European descent. Some, like members of Sydney's Lebanese-dominated Notorious gang who are starting to infiltrate the Sunshine State, do not even ride motorbikes.
