....The Mt Gambier chapter of the Gypsy Jokers was under close police scrutiny during the run, which involved local, state and interstate members as well as other local riders.
Police patrols were kept waiting for nearly an hour, with the scheduled 10am run finally starting at 11am.
The event also captured the attention of many residents, who lined parts of Commercial St to watch the bikers ride out.
An application for a liquor licence was denied for the club's Commercial St clubrooms, following police intervention. Assistant Liquor and Gambling Commissioner Michael Jarvis had refused the request because he was not satisfied the applicants were "fit and proper persons to obtain the licence".
Superintendent Mark Fairney, from Mt Gambier police, said police ranks were bolstered by Operation Avatar and motorcycle officers, who travelled from Adelaide to monitor the run.
"There have been no incidents of note involving the visiting Gypsy Jokers," he said. "The run has taken off from their clubrooms with little incident. Numbers appear to be the same as last year and police have no concerns in relation to the run.".....
