Rival bikie gangs are forging alliances with other gangs to bolster their power on Sydney's streets (what for - to sell fluffy toys for charity ??? !!! ???), according to reports.

The group Notorious, believed to be the catalyst for recent gang-related shootings and bloodied violence sweeping Sydney, has joined forces with the Rebels, the Daily Telegraph reports.

And their rivals, the Bandidos, have united with Brothers 4 Life, another gang based in Auburn in western Sydney.

Authorities and "inside" sources were quoted as saying that Notorious and the Bandidos were forming alliances to increase their weapons stock.

The war between the two gangs is believed to have sparked at least five drive-by shootings in the past fortnight.

One man has been charged with gun possession but no one has been charged over the spate of shootings.

Meanwhile, the president of another outlaw motorcycle gang, the Comancheros, has asked for police to guarantee the safety of bikie leaders as they discuss ways to end the so-called "turf war".

Comancheros leader Mick Hawi yesterday contacted other prominent bikie members to begin peace talks.

Comancheros lawyer Lesly Randle said Mr Hawi had ordered members not to ride bikes or wear their emblem or colours until the community felt safe.

But his efforts have been rejected, with some bikie insiders saying it is a calculated move to ward off future legal problems.

"He is just assuming he is going to be pulled in next so he wants it to look good when they do," the source was quoted as saying.

"It is going to get worse before it gets better."

The bikie gangs are involved in drug production distribution as well as prostitution, and the law is FULLY aware of this.

It is only thorough acts that spill out into the community, the law MUST be seen as TRYING to do something.

Trouble hot spots ( e.g Griffith, Adelaide Hills ) are well known to the public therefore the Police as well. They are NOT shut down, as there are too many people involved in 'respectable' positions of authority.

There are (shady) laws created that can lock up an INDIVIDUAL for TERRORISM, BUT there are gangs that BLATANTLY TERRORISE and NOTHING is done.
