Two masked and machete-wielding men who barged into a club in Sydney, Australia, couldn’t have picked a worse night for their robbery — a monthly meeting of bikers.
The robbers chose the wrong night to burst into the club where the Southern Cross Cruiser Club have their monthly meeting.
About 50 burly bikers fought back with tables and chairs — pretty much anything that wasn’t bolted down. One would-be robber was tied up; the other in the hospital…
“These guys were absolutely dumb as bricks,” Jerry Vancornewal, leader of the bikers. “I can’t believe they saw all the bikes parked up front and they were so stupid that they walked past in.”
The crooks are lucky they’re alive.
Har! Great story, like something in a bad movie. That movie being “Wild Hogs”.
In hindsight they should have put down the machetes and started “break” dancing to LaBamba.
#2 – you mean “Tequila”.
Maybe they thought they were all posers with glued on beards who only try to look tough. That’s only in the states limey.
Reminds me of this hilarious scene from the otherwise dismal “Robocop 3”:

There’s a similar story out there that I wish Dvorak would run:

Looks like these two girls hit a motorcyclist and ran, the motorcyclist followed them back to their house, and the girls freaked out and lied. The good old fashioned American way at work.
And in the USA the crooks would SUE the club, and WIN.
It reminds me a little of one of the great moments in cinematic history: Pewee Herman in the biker bar.
