POLICE swarmed Geelong yesterday as hundreds of Black Uhlans bikies gathered to farewell one of their own.
A huge police presence, with officers on the roads and in the sky, greeted the Uhlans and confused and worried local residents as the bikies met at their clubhouse in Belmont to send off Bell Park man Jeff Julian.
The 37-year-old died after losing control of his Harley Davidson while riding at Lara on June 6.
Planning for the worst, detectives and general duties officers joined their highway patrol colleagues and officers from the special response teams and mounted police in flocking to Skilled Stadium yesterday morning.
The
football ground acted as the police
base for the day.
