     Story is underground is that i used to be a member of the cav, president of the second chapter in outer eastern suburbs of melbourne and president of the uncharted 3rd in Cairns, the first chapter were in gippsland, I've be a nomadic now for 30 years and i was trying to locate some body, you know nostalgic bullshit that sort of thing, but their probably proper little grand dads nowdays, just miss it is all mate

    Geez, you get around. Bet you've got some stories eh?, 30 years is a time to be drifting like that. Didn't the others patch over elsewhere?

     Cairns CAV numbered about thirty at their peak, used to knock around with the RSENDERS out of Innisfail and the VENDETTA out of Tully, ah the good old days when Cairns was wall to wall pubs and the roads just begged for the bikes, anyway all three MCs just faded away with the introduction of other more powerful clubs, with the outlaw clubs  back then it was all about the the bikes and looking after your mates we drank we smoked a lot of weed we got into a scrap every so often but mostly we just rode and  rode it was nothing to knock off work on a friday arvo and ride 250 miles to Townsville for a party that night and back to Cairns on saturday arvo so we could go for a squirt up to the table lands for a couple of sunday sessions bloody good times my friend, no bretho's in those days.
