A mysterious collection of 13 balloons are left at the scene
A high ranking bike gang member has died after smashing a Harley Davidson into a road barrier on Wednesday in a horror crash at 4am.
The president of the Tamworth City chapter of the Finks, Bodie Dwyer, bike gang was thrown from a bike in Bellbird, an hour west of Newcastle, New South Wales.
Fellow Finks members mourned his death by placing 13 balloons at the crash site, a significant number for bikies.

There are numerous theories on how the number 13 was popularised in the bikie community, including that being the 13th letter of the alphabet it stands for marijuana or motorcycle
One motorist said he stayed with Mr Dwyer and described the severity of his injuries as ‘heartbreaking.’
‘He was awake and we just tried to reassure him that help was on the way and stayed with him until police arrived,’ Roger Lewis told The Newcastle News.
‘It was absolutely heartbreaking to know that there was nothing any of us could do due to the nature of the injuries except reassurance and try to keep him still.’

The Finks motorcycle club was the first to be declared a ‘criminal organisation’ in Australia.
It is a tight-knit group known for its rigorous membership process and was formed more than half a century ago in Sydney with chapters all around the country.
One of the alleged rules of the club is that women are not allowed to wear club T-shirts, arm-patches or told club business.
