The Prez

De: David Spiteri

Narrado por: Dino Marnika

The true story of 40 years inside one of Australia's first outlaw motorcycle clubs as told by its one-time president. With previously unrevealed insights into the outlaw world of extreme violence, drugs, corruption, sex, treachery, and retribution. All names have been changed, and identities and events obscured. This is the only way the story could be told.

This story is a true account of the birth of outlaw motorcycle clubs in Australia. There was no template for us, it just evolved. It shows our simple creed: loyalty to the club and respect for your brothers.

David Spiteri was a founding member and long-time president of one of Australia's first outlaw motorcycle clubs from its inception in the early 1960s through to the early 2000s. He has been uniquely placed to witness the clubs develop from loose affiliations of riders to the well-structured and well-connected groups we see today, with links to police, politicians, and lawyers.

In this never-before-told inside story, Spiteri puts himself at risk to reveal everything from the drug trafficking which funds the clubs' operations to the extreme violence that continues to make them infamous. For the first time, the true extent of the clubs' corruption will be exposed, and the treachery and subsequent retribution enforced by their own brand of law known as "the code" is brought to light. A truly shocking and compelling look at a fascinating subculture.

Bikies down under

I have read quite a few books about bikers lifes and this feels the nost honest out of any of them. The Aussie way is very different but they sure know how to lay it down how it was unlike cop books and snitch dribble.

Great Read/Listen

Killer book, great mix of the 50s and 60s Biker culture in Australia! Its a great story and learning some Aussie slang is fun!

great book

great book, slow start. but picked up with a great story line. a really good read.

Nice story

It was engrossing enough. I’m pretty sure SOA took some of the vignettes for their show.

great read

loved this book. tells a great story and the performance was great. can't wait to listen to the next one

excellent

I thought it was very compelling from start to finish. highly recommend it. good narration, too.

Great book

really great book once I started I couldn't put it down. give it a listen.

this was a realistic story.

the characters were believable not over the top. graphic content was handled in a matter of fact way. the characters were well developed and I didn't want it to end. the ending was heartfelt and tragic.

Drags on and on

Story is mostly definitely complete fiction that’s just recycled moments throughout the book. Love story and erotic moments thrown in are just awkward fillers. If you like books about 1%ers than this is not the book for you

probably the worst book I've ever listened to

this has nothing to do with the start of motorcycle clubs in Australia it is somebody's fiction their passing off as truth do not waste your credit on this book
