Team Beta WA at Perth Motorcycle & Scooter Show

The Perth Motorcycle and Scooter www.perthbikeshow.com.au was held at the Perth Convention Centre Fri, Sat and Sun 11-13th. Team Beta WA conducted trials demos and interviews throughout the weekend. On Two Wheels covered the event www.on2wheels.com.au and also conducted public interviews with the team on the main stage each day throughout the weekend. In 2010 On Two Wheels starts up again on Foxtel Feb 22nd and a new series of Riding WA will be on a new free to air station West tv which I understand will be Channel 6 on Feb 2nd 2010. Neil, Alex and Luke Patane rode the event, Neil and Alex rode every day whilst Luke who was riding his first public demo under Team Beta WA rode on Sat only. I’m sure Luke would have been happy to have been there every day but logistics was an issue. Neil and Alex put on a top show. The prop trailer has been modified giving it a longer ramp thus reducing the angle allowing Neil to perfect his down hill nose wheelie flick turns. Check out the video clip. Alex celebrated his Aust Junior title with the crowd who acknowledge his achievement. Alex got a bit of a surprise when two sexy models came onto the stage during a interview to give him some congratulation kisses, check out the video on www.youtube.com/user/trialswa . Alex had been fighting off many girls who wanted to rip him to bits. Both Neil and Alex stunned the crowd with their back wheel antics and on the edge riding. Luke Patane had a brilliant ride considering it was his first ride on his new bike and his first ride at a major demo. It was a very successful weekend that wrapped up about 5pm.
