Their colours are black and gold.[1] HistoryThe Highway 61 mc was formed in Auckland in 1968,[2] and have since expanded into Hastings, Wellington, Rotorua, Northland, Waitara, Christchurch, Westport and Australia.[3] The Highway 61 patch consists of a skeleton holding onto ape hangers (handlebars) with the road, or highway, seen below the skull. In 1997, Highway 61 members were convicted of murdering a member of the New Zealand Nomads.[4] In 1993, Highway 61 members were convicted of theft, receiving cars valued at nearly $1,000,000.[4] In 1998, senior ex member Malcolm Rewa was convicted on multiple charges of rape, and is serving a life prison sentence.[5] In 2003, club president Kevin Weavers was accidentally killed by ex highway 61 member Kelly Robertson, which weakened and caused a rift within the gang.[4] At the 1979 Nelson Mardi Gras event the Lost Breed clashed with members of Highway 61 from Wellington. 4 were injured and 21 Lost Breed members and associates were arrested. They expanded into Australia in the 1990s,[6] later setting up a chapter in Brisbane in 1998 See also{{Portal|Australia|New Zealand}}
