More than 100 motorbikes tear through outback pub in world record attempt

A record-breaking event at Bojangles Saloon in Alice Springs saw 107 motorcyclists roar through the outback pub, falling just shy of the ambitious target of 125 bikes. The record attempt was part of Red CentreNATS, a festival celebrating horsepower that spanned four days and featured a plethora of car and motorcycle events. The deafening roar of revving engines filled the center of Alice Springs as riders in all manner of attire, from leather-clad enthusiasts to board-short-wearers, attempted to set the mark for the most motorbikes ridden through a pub.

Among the riders was David Walsh, also known as the King of the Desert, who led the charge, admitting he felt nervous but was exhilarated by the unique atmosphere. Bojangles Saloon owner Pearl Randhay expressed gratitude for the event, emphasizing the excitement and good vibes despite the record not being achieved. Despite the setback, Red CentreNATS organizers remain confident and optimistic, anticipating an even more impressive display next year.
