Port Noarlunga to Victor Harbor 90 Hells Angels bikies made their way south for their annual poker run.

90 Hells Angels bikies made their way south for their annual poker run.The run, which took the bikers from Port Noarlunga to Victor Harbor, disrupted traffic for most of the afternoon. Dozens of police, including a team from the Crime Gangs Taskforce, followed the run to manage traffic and monitor behaviour.
Roads were blocked, traffic stopped and light sequences were changed to allow the group to make their way south safely.Random drug and alcohol tests and vehicle inspections were conducted at different locations during the run, a police spokeswoman said.Bikes were checked one by one at 15 stations, with riders forced to show their licences and have their motorbikes inspected.A number of bikes were defected and there were seven arrests for offences including unruly behaviour. Amateur photographer Jason Pine – who captured the action for the Sunday Mail – was driving north along South Rd to a personal engagement."I actually thought it was going to get ugly because there were a lot of cops – probably one cop per person," he said of the congested scene he witnessed.Mr Pine pulled his car over to take the photographs and spoke to a man claiming to be a Hells Angels member who had not joined the run."There were actually bikies that were watching from the side and I actually spoke to one of them and he said that they knew the cops were there and they had done it anyway," he said."He told me he didn't want to go because he didn't want any trouble."The annual event generally includes stops at five pubs, with players given a card at each.At the final stop each person presents their poker hand.
