A short description of the members.
Toecutter:
The leader of the pack, the lord of dinginess. This guy is a one-man travelling theatre.
Bubba Zanetti:
He needs no introduction from me. He should be the true leader. Cold as ice, he shows the prudent intelligence of a perfectly trained military man.
Mudguts:
This junky is the no3 after TC an BZ. Rides frequently his bike without helmet. This will be his death ...
Cundalini
He wants his hand back. Not much to say about him, he's a mix-up between Frank Zappa and Lemmy from Motorhead.
Clunk
He's frenchy, has no lines and is the proud owner of a rotten female dummy. Looks like an extreme right supporter.
Diabando
His bike has no fairing, he's ash blonde, ruthless and has an eye-catching knife on the right leg. No lines here, just yelps. What a daft punk!
Starbuck
In spite of his name, this blithering idiot is not from Battlestar Galactica.
Johnny
The unfortunate victim of Bubba's poignant sarcasm and TC's cruelty. Looks just Like Sid Vicious from the Sex Pistols. If he would not have been killed by Max, he would have surely died of an overdose. Poor bastard ...
What do you guys think about this?

That's good. I especially like the comparison to underground musicians

nope,
Bubba is like the XO in the ship, the brains and mover behind the scenes but not the captain. . The real charisma, the motivator is still the theatrical (if you must) Toecutter. Inspiration to loyalty, following, doesn`t come from success or good logistic planning, it`s more of a gut feeling thing, a father figure if you like,

1. Actually, it was Johnny the boy that was ranked #3 behind TC and BZ.
Remember, Johnny was oftentimes alongside TC and BZ when the other bikers
were not. Supposedly, the nightrider was the previous #3, but was replaced by
Johnny after Max killed him.
2. How do you know who is who among the miscellaneous bikers Clunk, Diabando,
and Starbuck? Their names are in the credits, but they are never mentioned by
name in the movie (at least not that I remember), and the actors that play
them are so minor that their pictures can not be found on the internet. Aside
from the biker gang members that I know the names of, I remember the
following ones:
#1. the beard-faced man that says "my favorite kind... female"
#2. the man with long curly blond hair that howls in the train station town
#3. the fat slobby-looking man in a grey suit, seen in the train station town
...How do any of these match with the 3 names?... #2 is probably Diabando, by
Bubba Fat's description.

I personally always felt that the Night Rider was the leader of the gang, and thus the gang's reason for morning his loss so much.
And I always got Johnny the Boy confused with Adam Ant (in looks,not attitude) .And Johnny is no Sid Viscious,Sid would've eaten him alive!
Cheers,
Step

...and one more thing, Johnny is obviously the Toecutter's personal bitch (can I say that?) and that's the only reason why Johnny has any status in the gang at all.

Well, Mudgut's and Cundalini's names are pronounced in the movie. We clearly know who is who.
Starbuck, is the bearded guy with the green jacket and the sheriff star.
Diabando is the blond squaller with the yellow helmet.
Clunk is the fat git who plays with the pink elephant (played by Bertrand Cadart, ex mechanician of La Parisienne Engineering).
