News every ex-Service or Serving Member should read!

The sorry state that Western Australia has been placed in should never be forgotten. To date we have had two members join this fine Club in preparation for many other like-minded members, and eventually starting a sub branch. However, these members have had to withdraw due to hostile pressure placed on them and thier families by the VETERANS MC (really Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club) executive (ref VETERANS MC website for evidence).

The VETERANS MC have declared unto themselves that "... the Veterans MC has and will continue to stop any new or existing Military Motorcycle Clubs from operating in Western Australia" (ref VETERANS MC website). The reason ... never declared. To add insult to injury, when we initiated contact with the VETERANS MC, to discuss this issue, a barage of foul mouthed insults came our way, and on numerous occassions. As a Vietnam Veteran myself, and with 39 years in the Royal Australian Artillery, I was ropeable to say the least.

Numerous calles then to the UMC WA produced absolutely nothing.

Through the VETERANS MC association with the UMC WA they have managed to subvert the very thing the UMCs around Australia are fighting -

Our Club - the MBMMC - is not the only new Club the VETERANS MC have threatened, and told to 'bugger off'. The tragedy of all this is that many members of the VETERANS MC are in fact ex-serving members of the ADF!!! Yet their executive has taken a very hard line on the existance of other ex-service motorcycle clubs forming in WA, and has threatened past members sufficiently that they have elected to 'stand down'; mainly in fear for their families. One can stand alone and fight for thier principles, but against 20 or more????

Our Club will shortly take some serious action againts this bullshit, and no member of the VETERANS MC can now shy away from not having known about this situation, and did nothing.
