Thebiggest endorsement ofhow muchfun
there is to be had at this event,is the number of
professionalswhoarelining up to come andride.
Icons of Australian motorsport who have done it
all (people who could be forgiven for being a little
jaded) are among the most stoked faces in the pits;
no appearance money, no red carpets, just a fun day
getting loose with mates new and old.
Brett Whale, former Kawasaki Australia MX team
manager summed the Dust Hustle up succinctly,
“Days like this are why we ride bikes.”
There’s no gender-based discrimination here,
with ladies making up a significant proportion
of entries and accountingfor some of the most
talented and accomplished riders on thegrid.
