AUSTRALIA - Bikie says married life 'is good times'

OFF THE WIRE
A Hells Angel bikie granted bail less than 24 hours before his wedding says he is a happy man, although court proceedings have put a dampener on married life.
Mostafa Jouayd, accused of attempted extortion, appeared in Sydney's Burwood Local Court on Wednesday for a brief mention of his case.
New wife, Susie Arida, was by his side.
The 30-year-old president of the Hells Angels Parramatta chapter, who wed Ms Arida on July 16, said he wanted to travel around the world for their honeymoon.
"Anywhere where there's Hells Angels," he said.
Asked if the court proceedings had put a dampener on married life, he replied: "It's happy, it's good times. Court ruins it but it's good times".
Earlier this month, Jouayd was granted bail and obtained a one-off extension to his curfew which enabled him to continue the nuptial celebrations until the early hours.
He and four other men are charged with, between July 7 and 11, demanding with menaces a silver BMW M3, valued at $49,990 from racehorse owner Terry Mullens, owner of a luxury car dealership at Burwood, in Sydney's inner west.
They also are charged with participating in a criminal group.
All five men have pleaded not guilty.
Jouayd's lawyer Lou Angelovski said outside court he is waiting for the police brief, adding "we still think we have a good case".
Ms Arida said her wedding was "amazing", and the best thing about it was that "he got out (of jail)".
"It was a good night," she told reporters. "It was worth it."
She said they might have a honeymoon once the court proceedings were finalised.
Magistrate Tim Keady on Wednesday slightly varied Jouayd's bail, changing his daily reporting from Parramatta to Granville Police station.
The matter will return to the same court on August 23.
