EDITORS COMMENTS
The Rev. Les Milner, accompanied by members Raymond Fox (right) and Ron Gillam, engages in a heartfelt conversation outside the headquarters of the Double Zero motorcycle club. This iconic photo captures a significant moment in Birmingham's history as the beloved club faces closure due to conflicts with the notorious Hells Angels. Renowned for their charitable endeavors and compassionate missions, the young motorcyclists of Double Zero had garnered immense admiration from the city's residents. However, after five years of dedicated service, they find themselves forced to suspend activities for the first time since their inception. Taken on June 28th, 1971, this snapshot encapsulates both resilience and uncertainty within Birmingham's cultural landscape during the 1970s. Situated in Digbeth on Heath Mill Lane near St Basils Church, Double Zero Motorcycle Club became an emblematic symbol of youth empowerment and camaraderie. As we delve into this image from Memory Lane Prints' collection curated by Birmingham Post and Mail Archive, it is evident that motorcycles played a pivotal role in shaping West Midlands' culture at that time. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how youthful enthusiasm can be harnessed for positive change while also highlighting society's vulnerability to external forces.
