Party Time at Queensland Moto Park

On May 18th, our Royal Enfield riders tore it up at Queensland Moto Park in a dirt track extravaganza. It was a day of dust, mud, adrenaline, and sideways action that had the spectators yelling for more.

Risky Road Bikes

We wrangled up 4 of the keenest dirt track combatants riding Royal Enfield machines, to showed off their skills on the pro-level MX track. The rider spots were limited, but our Royal Enfield riders secured their places, representing the Royal Enfield community with pride.

Live Entertainment and After Track DJ’s

The excitement didn’t stop when the bikes did. Dust Hustle 16 delivered an evening of live entertainment and after-track DJ sets, ensuring attendees got the perfect soundtrack to their day of dust debauchery.

Food, Drinks, and Young Henry’s Legends

Feeling peckish? Fear not! Dust Hustle had everyone covered with loads of food trucks to satisfy cravings. And to keep everyone well-hydrated, the legends from Young Henry’s were on-site, serving up their finest brews. It was a party on two wheels, and we had the perfect recipe for an unforgettable day.

More Than Just a Race

Dust Hustle isn’t really a race; it’s a celebration of the spirit of motorcycling. From new riders to ex-GP pros, everyone is welcome to join the fun. It’s less serious, and more fun – an event that embraces the passion for riding, crazy bike builds, and wacky get-ups.

Meet the Royal Enfield Crew

Dust Hustle 16 was a big day for the Himalayan 450, but Dust Hustle is a great day for putting other custom bikes to the test. The Royal Enfield crew were showcasing just how tough their custom builds were, with Interceptors and 411 Flat Trackers ripping it up in the dirt.

Josh Farrell

Modified Interceptor 650 and Himalayan 450

Josh has been in the saddle of motorcycles since he was practically a babe in arms, manoeuvring through dirt trails before he took his first steps. As the proud owner of an equestrian farm, Josh seamlessly integrates his daily rides between paddocks and stables to hone his skills in a repertoire of stunts—wheelies, endos, jumps, skids and slides. Little surprise, then, that he’s rightfully crowned as the reigning monarch of the dirt, earning the title of Dirt King 👑

Jacinta Siracusa

Modified Himalayan 411

Known as “Moto Doll” in the online realm, Jacinta fearlessly embraces her distinctive identity and revels in kicking up some dirt on the race track whenever the opportunity arises. Her unyielding pursuit of new adventures not only defines her spirit but also sets a compelling example for others to trailblaze their own paths.

VINNY BROSNAN

Modified Continental GT650

Similar to Josh, Vinny’s motorcycle journey began before he could even take his first steps. Brimming with fearless confidence, Vinny is a daredevil who takes a classic cafe racer and transforms it into a dirt-slinging, power-sliding monster. We can’t help but admire his ingenuity, especially in the way he’s reshaped the Continental GT 650. Here’s to applauding the creativity that Vinny unleashes both on and off the racetrack.

Max Duff

Himalayan 450

Max believes that the best riders in the world are the ones having the most fun. As the founder of Akin Moto and Death Collective, he lives and breathes motorcycles and will ride anything with 2 wheels and a motor. When he’s not busy designing your favourite riding gear, he’s out there pushing it to the limit and having a damn good time along the way.
