Bandidos Past, Present and Future

This is the story of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club, penned by their National Presidente, Tony Vartiainen of Australasia and is a look at how the club started through to the future. It begins with the club's inception, featuring original members from over 40 years sharing their first-hand experiences. The story progresses to the tragic day at Milperra, which resulted in the deaths of seven individuals and led to one of Australia's longest-running trials. It discusses how the members dealt with the trial and the tragic death of the President Snotty in Parklea jail. With rare photographs of the club and its members, this book details how the organisation endured its early challenges, particularly during the trials following Milperra. It illustrates their resilience as they rebuilt the club, persevering through adversity—from murdered presidents to attacks on their clubhouses. Today, they continue to fight for their right to ride together, maintaining an unbroken brotherhood founded on love, loyalty, and respect. Everything written in this book is authorised by the club and its Presidente Tony Vartiainen.
