Pink’s husband and motocross legend Carey Hart paid a celebrity appearance to a WA motorbike dealership on Saturday ahead of the pop star’s second night performing in Perth.
Fans flocked to the Indian Motorcycle dealership in Kenwick on Saturday morning ahead of Hart’s appearance, in hopes of snapping a pic with the beloved former motocross competitor.
By 11am, the roar of Hart’s 23 Indian Challenger immediately turned heads as he made his entrance into the dealership’s parking lot, riding in on his bright red bike accompanied by the cheers of an excited crowd.
Hart was all smiles as he dismounted his motorbike, greeted by Indian Motorcycle staff who shook his hand and thanked him for stopping by.
Ahead of Pink’s second night performing in Perth, Hart said he was keen to check out WA’s motorcycle scene before heading back on the road for the rest of his wife’s world tour.
“I’m here for a couple of months with the missus and the family and it’s just a great opportunity to pop into some dealerships to meet the people,” Hart said.
“Hopefully we’re going to do a bit of riding today… It’s a beautiful country and I love the West Coast.”
Indian Motorcycle Perth general manager Martin Justat described the event as a “huge” moment for the WA dealership.
“Hart has plenty of fans among the Indian motorcycle riders, so it is great to see everyone who has come down,” Mr Justat said.
“We’re just happy to have another rider come along with us for the ride.”
An hour in, the line for Hart’s autograph hadn’t shown any signs of slowing down.
But some diehard fans were eager to wait, including motocross enthusiasts Justin and Leah who were hoping to add Hart’s signature to their collection.
“We have this really old vintage shirt which has been signed by a few motocross legends… one of them is from 2003,” Justin said.
Leah said the pair were thrilled by the opportunity meet him.
“We’ve never met him before, so we’re really excited and hope he can sign and add to the shirt,” she said.
Hemi, the 14-year-old who is ranked fourth in WA’s junior motorcycling State championship, said she was excited to meet the motocross legend.
“I heard about the event and I’m a fan of Carey so I was excited to come down,” Hemi said.
Hart, alongside his children, is accompanying P!nk during her 2024 Summer Carnival world tour, which kicked off in Australia in Sydney last month.
