This weeks "Newstory" is about a bikers gathering that took place in Phuket. Generally speaking when you think of biker gangs you imagine Harley Davidson choppers, men with beards, sunglasses, jeans and lots of leather.
In attendance at the gathering were 40 bikers from Pulau Penang representing Malaysia. While I must admit that our leather-clad bikers did look the part there were a few weak spots that need to be rectified.
First of I would suggest to the bikers that they should think about changing their gang title to something much more cooler or masculine. Lets review some of the other gangs present in Phuket. From the US of A were the "Hell's Angel's" (masculine and a very clever play on words) and the "Sun Riders" (not so masculine but very cool) The British contingent comprised of the "Mad Dogs" (very masculine and accurate; I've been calling the Brits that for a long time). The boys from Malaysia were called the "Eight Heaven Bikers" (What?!); maybe it's a cryptic clue but it's not very masculine or cool.
But worst of all was their logo. What kind of self respecting biker gang would consider having a UNICORN as a logo? Apparently the "Eight Heaven Bikers" would....
Of course I don't mean to offend. Those bikers do look pretty tough. Maybe even tough enough to hang me upside down to a lamp pole Mussolini style. I am merely suggesting to them that they should consider a few changes. Keep the name if you must but please take the unicorn away.
I was just wondering if those girls who play with those little unicorn dolls are honorary members of the "Eight Heaven Biker"...please don't hurt me.
