The Finks Motorcycle Club is a tight-knit group known as much for its rigorous membership process and demand for secrecy as its notorious criminal reputation.

Formed more than half a century ago in Sydney and now with chapters all around the country, little is seen of the inner workings of the notorious bikie gang as police work to crack down on its members.

But the club does appear to maintain an Instagram account, with some 138 photos giving insight to the MC's daily workings.

Only visible to a select 746 followers their photos are led by a statement: 'Ruthless as f**k... Trust me, I'm a Fink'. 

For more than half a century the Finks Motorcycle Club has been a private group, but a rare look inside last month revealed they are 'normal blokes'

Little is seen or heard from of the inner workings of the notorious bikie gang as police work to crack down on its members

But the club does appear to maintain an Instagram account, with some 138 photos giving insight to the MC's daily workings

The MC's account is filled with photos of members posing side by side, with tattoos, motorcycles and lavish cuts on display.

Smiles are as rare as Unicorns.

The lid has only ever been lifted on the Finks in police dossiers detailing undercover operations which revealed the criminal history of dozens of its members, which often include committing violent acts and selling drugs.

Made public in 2012 following a Queensland Police application to have its Gold Coast chapter declared a criminal organisation, the documents also outlined the strict rules members must live by. 

But Daily Mail Australia was in October granted a rare audience with members of a Sydney chapter, who insisted they are regular Australians with honest jobs who just liked motorbikes.

During that interview a 20-year veteran of the MC said he was just a 'normal bloke' and father who happens to like big-bore bikes and hanging out with like-minded mates. 

Their Instagram account has close to 900 followers and almost 140 posts, and featureds the tagline: 'Ruthless as f**k. Trust Me, I'm a Fink'

Say cheese? The MC's account is filled with photos of members posing side by side, with tattoos, motorcycles and lavish cuts on display. Smiles are as rare as Unicorns

Heavily tattooed bikies are regularly featured on the MC's private social media account. The Finks MC was founded in 1969

The Finks Motorcycle Club is still about mateship and the brotherhood according to members who are upset with how the club lifestyle has changed in recent times

'I work full time, I have a mortgage and when I get home I have to mow the lawn just like anyone else,' Big M told Daily Mail Australia in an interview club members almost never give.

'I'm not making drugs in my back shed or acting as a stand-over man - in fact, we try not to let guys like that into the club.'

He does not like his club being branded as an outlaw motorcycle gang - a term Australian police and legislators have adopted across the country to crack down on criminal activity by bikie gangs.

But the lawmakers haven't acted without reason by instituting the national crackdown on bikies, with the gang members repeatedly charged with running drugs, guns and being involved in murders and assaults.

In 2009, NSW police formed taskforce Raptor with one objective: 'target outlaw motorcycle gangs and any associated criminal enterprises'.

Members are not allowed to communicate with each other unless they are seeking legal advice. The Finks' lawyer Zemarai Khatiz (second from left) is pictured with a legal colleague (centre) and flanked by two members

The men said there are a few rules before someone can join the club - 'they have to be a good guy and if they are on a Vespa we tell them to keep riding'

'Some people try to join for the wrong reasons, we are a brotherhood, we come together because we love bikes, we ride together and we look after each other,' one member told Daily Mail Australia

The Strike Force was formed after a vicious brawl erupted between rival gangs the Comancheros and Hells Angels at Sydney Airport on March 23 of that year in front of terrified passengers. 

Anthony Zervas, who was associated with the Hells Angels, was killed during the brutal attack. 

'To me a gang is a dangerous group of people, a street gang, people who fight over territory. That's not us. We just like bikes,' said Big M.

'Some people try to join for the wrong reasons, we are a brotherhood, we come together because we love bikes, we ride together and we look after each other. 

'We are family and we try to weed the guys who are there for other reasons out.'
