00:02Not your usual Thursday night. The pub. Over 100 muscle bikes, commuters and everything in between geared up to make
00:11history as part of this year's Red Centre Nats in Alice Springs.
00:15As you can see it's a tight space but that's not stopping these reference from attempting to make a world
00:20record.
00:22They only just missed the mark. 107 bikes tearing through, 18 short of their goal. But organisers still calling it
00:32a win.
00:33Where else do you shut down the centre of a town and ride motorbikes through a pub? That is just
00:39amazing. It's gotta be though. It's the only place in Australia I've ever seen it.
00:43Yeah, I was a little bit nervous to be honest. But yeah, it was honestly really cool. Something different and
00:49yeah, great atmosphere so pumped that I did it.
00:52Ah, that was an adrenaline rush and a half. It's great to be a part of something so big and
00:56we'll be back next year. We're gonna bring more followers so hopefully we'll beat the world record.
01:01It was so exciting. It was nervous in a good way. Happy that everything went well. Duh!
01:10Cars checked at scrutineering before a full throttle few days.
01:15So we're making sure that everything meets the road rule standards and there's also, you know, methanol cars that are
01:20doing certain things as well and all that kind of stuff. So everyone needs to do their part.
01:23It's just good all the old cars that come out and people drag their cars out. Like I did two
01:28days ago. Dragged out of the shed.
01:30And are you glad that it hasn't passed the muster for today? Yep.
01:34Ready to hit the road.
01:39Okay, I hope so.
01:40I was hoping that there's no idea of having new things as well.
01:40And there's things that you want to speak about life here.
01:40Let's see.
