The Highway 61 Motorcycle Club is an outlaw motorcycle club based in New Zealand and also operating in Australia. The Committee on Gangs report of 1981 (known as the Comber Report) said they were one of the two largest of the 20 outlaw motorcycle gangs in New Zealand.[1] In the 1990s they were the largest in the country.[2] They were still the largest in 2010,[3] even though their membership numbers had declined.[4] As of 2019 they were considered one of the ten main gangs (including motorcycle gangs and ethnically based gangs) in the country.[5] Their membership is largely people of Māori and Pacific Island ethnicities.[6] Their colours are black and gold.[7]
