An alleged rebels biker who is famous for having been shot in the penis has been shot for the second time in 18 months.
That's right, the bikie who made headlines earlier this year after being shot in the penis has now been shot in the leg. And we're probably not alone in thinking that Chris Rymer has had a pretty rough 18 months.
On Tuesday 26 July, the father of two was shot between the hours of 7 am and 9:30 am. The alleged Rebels bikie was said to have driven himself to hospital - where he's currently in a stable condition in hospital in Sydney's west.

Police officers from Strike Force Raptors are now searching for the gunman in Bligh Park, situated in a quiet Sydney suburb where the shooting took place.
Chris' car was seized by police for examination, as was a burnt-out Ford Mustang discovered nearby on Bonner Road.
A police spokesperson said of the incident: "Raptor Squad officers continue their inquiries into the circumstances surrounding how the man came to be shot and are appealing for anyone who may have been in the vicinity of Agnes Banks between 7 am and 9.30 am on Tuesday morning to come forward," the spokesman said.
"In particular, detectives believe someone may have seen the distinctive red/orange Ford Mustang in the Bligh Park or Agnew Banks areas around the time of the incident."

The news came as a shot to local residents who told
7 NEWS Australia "I dropped my kids off at school, then I came home, just got in the house and then I heard this big bang."
That bang was Chris, being shot outside his home, which residents say is 'a nice quiet street'.
This is the second time in 18 months that Chris has been shot, the earlier eye-watering injury took place in Spring 2021.

On 3 March last year, the 31-year-old was shot in the back of a taxi in Riverstone.
One of the bullets hit his penis and the other his stomach; the taxi driver was also hurt but drove himself and Chris to the hospital.
Detective Superintendent Rob Critchlow condemned gang-related violence shortly after the attack: "You fire enough shots at someone you want to kill and you hit someone, and it is really unacceptable.

"People in Sydney should be able to go about their lives without some fool trying to shoot another."
Chris is allegedly part of one of those groups, the Rebels.
For those of you who aren't clued into Australian biking, the Rebels are an outlaw biker club founded in Brisbane. Over the years they've had a number of run ins with the law, rival gangs, and in Chris' case, bullets in penises.
