Former bikie boss
Mohamed Moudi Tajjour
says he is the happiest he has ever been after cutting ties with the
Nomads bikie gang, getting engaged and taking medication to manage his anger.
Tajjour rose to public presence as the national president
of the outlaw motorcycle gang in 2018 before dramatically quitting.
His brother, Sleiman is the current Nomads president and his cousin is Kings Cross identity John Ibrahim.
Tajjour served more than four years in jail for manslaughter and briefly married one of Salim Mehajer's
sisters.
The 36-year old was prevented from seeing any of his bikie friends under a strict police crackdown on outlaw motorcycle gangs which at the time sent him spiralling into a 'dark' and 'lonely' place. But as he recounts his life in COVID-19 lockdown, Tajjour told The Daily Telegraph he is a 'new man' after his brother gave him the 'blessing' to burn his bikie colours and leave his past behind - a moment he will never forget. He said "Go burn your colours and I'll send word out and no one will approach you. Burn your colours and you're out".
"It sent shivers up my spine. It was a happy moment but i was also upset as I walked away from 20 years on the street. Now I've never been happier. It took me six weeks to adjust."
Tajjour said his brother helped him to turn a new leaf after police forced him to stop associating with his bikie friends under consorting laws.
"(Police) saved me from this life. I had an excuse to say I was out... I walked away." The life change also led Tajjour to seek help, start taking medication to help him manage his anger and revisit his faith. "The medication is to help me keep calm."
Now in lockdown Tajjour spends most of his days at home with his new fiancee and remotely managing several cafes he owns
in Sydney's west.
His lungs "aren't the best" so he's cautious to leave the house unless it's for work. Just two weeks engaged to a 23-year old - who asked to remain anonymous - he said he is now planning a wedding.
"I want to live in the moment. I want to be freely and happy and not necessarily rich - living makes you rich."
Tajjour is writing a book about his life and hopes it will be ready in time for his wedding next year.
