I wonder if any of the writers, producers, actors or directors have ever actually met a bikie.
I'd suggest there would have been some correspondence between the producers, clubs and the (living) individuals portrayed directly.
OMC's tend not to have a sense of humour about people getting around in copy cat club colours. Even if the do like like they were produced in Thai marketplace.
I dunno, I love the grittyness of Aus drama, and we can pull off great stories of war and crime - yes, Blue Murder was a classic, and even a ex-stand comic up made Chopper look convincingly brutal, but this kind of stuff done wrong just comes off shallow and patronising.
As in most cases, the book was far more gripping.
