The Black Uhlans Motorcycle Club are an Australian "one-percenter" outlaw motorcycle club.[13] Maintaining several chapters throughout the country, the club has been described by law enforcement as one of the most dangerous organized crime gangs in the state of Victoria and are said to be among the wealthiest, if not, wealthiest of Australia's outlaw bikie groups.[14][3]
Orchestrated by one of their 10 co-founders, the highly secretive motorcycle gang held a fifteen-year reign as one of the country's largest suppliers of illicit amphetamine.[15][16] Since then, however, they have reportedly become less organized and have lost a considerable amount of influence over the Australian underworld.[17]
