The fun Harley tour Sydney was just for that – fun! Our passengers have done a Harley tour with us before, 2 years ago. They loved it so much they wanted to do another one so here booked for today.

They come from the northern beaches so caught a ferry over to Circular Quay. Our two Harley riders, Phil and Pat, met them there.

Centennial Park

Firstly, they rode through the lovely Centennial Park. 120 fields and venues, and 35+ different sports played in the Centennial Parklands. It is the largest community sports precinct in Australia! The history is also interesting: “Originally a swamp and then set aside as land for the water source for Sydney. Centennial Park was reconstructed as a public park and opened in 1888. Sir Henry Parkes’ vision was to create a ‘People’s Park’ in which the citizens of Sydney could ‘take in the air’ away from the Sydney town centre.”

Bronte Beach and Tamarama Beach

Next, they rode east to Bronte Beach and then north to the tiny but picturesque Tamarama Beach. It’s lovely to look out to the South Pacific Ocean from any of the beaches. So far, the fun Harley tour Sydney was just that – a lot of fun.

Bondi Beach

Further north they came to the famous Bondi Beach. Here they stopped for photos and why not with this view! Just to the left of this photo is the the world famous tower of the Bondi Lifeguards of the Bondi Rescue TV series. They stopped at the famous Bondi Beach for photos, when in Sydney it is one of the places you should visit. The beach is seriously nice (but not our favourite) and we usually stop near the lifeguard station, made famous by the TV series “Bondi Rescue”. Bondi Beach is one of the most visited tourist sites in Australia. Bondi Beach is recorded by the Australian Museum that Bondi means place where a fight using boondi sticks (nullas nullas or fighting sticks) took place. So far, and the whole way, the a Harley and trike tour in Sydney was a huge success.

Eastern suburbs

After there, they headed west through the posh suburbs of the eastern suburbs of Sydney, including the Bays: Rose Bay, Double Bay and Rushcutters Bay. Continuing on, they rode through the infamous Kings Cross, though it has calmed down a lot since it’s heyday – home of the famous and huge Coca Cola sign. Kings Cross is also home to nightclubs and ladies of the night though it is not nearly as raunchy as it was in the 1970s (apparently). Next, they rode through the inner eastern suburb of Woolloomoolloo and past the famous Harry Cafe De Wheels. Harry’s Café de Wheels has been serving customers for over 80 years. They make delicious pies, hotdogs and more.

However, the hour was nearly up so they rode past the Domain, through the city and back to Circular Quay. In conclusion, our passengers loved the fun Harley tour Sydney, you can see their smiles.

The Sydney Harley and trike tour was organised by Trusted Travel. They have organised many tours with us over the last few years. The passengers and companions/carers love our tour so the company keeps asking us to more. The passengers come from all around NSW for a holiday in Sydney.

We have plenty of experience with passengers who have a disability of some degree. Trusted Travel provides supported holidays which are a great way to meet new friends and share your experiences. They are also a service of The Disability Trust. There were 5 passengers this time (covid has a lot to answer for) so we organised two trikes and a Harley for the carer, all motorcycles with riders.

Our trike riders arrived at the hotel before the start time. They kitted the passengers with helmets and jackets before helping them onto the trikes. Firstly, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic.

Kirribilli

Next, after riding across the Harbour Bridge they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge. A perfect place to stop for photos.

The Kirribilli Loop

They rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool. So far, the Sydney Harley and trike tour was a huge success.

They continued riding on through North Sydney and Crows Nest before joining River Road. It is a fun road to ride on. River Road leads to Burns Bay Road which, in turn, leads to another bridge but not one of the main three.

Fig Tree Bridge, Tarban Creek Bridge, Gladesville Bridge

The Fig Tree Bridge opened in 1963 and spans the Lane Cove River. After that bridge, they continued on and crossed the second of the bridges Tarban Creek Bridge. This spans Tarban Creek, likewise, it has nice views east to the Harbour Bridge. Then they got to bridge #2 of the main 3 Bridges, the Gladesville Bridge. It has wonderful views along Parramatta River towards the Harbour Bridge and the city.

This bridge is on the main arterial thoroughfare of Victoria Road. They travelled along for a short while before turning off into the inner west suburb of Drummoyne. Following the shoreline of Iron Cove, which is part of the Parramatta River, they saw some lovely water views. It is part of the 7 km long Bay Run.

ANZAC Bridge

Our favourite bridge is the ANZAC Bridge. We think it is incredible, a work of art and design. It is main bridge #3. Similarly, it is also great to see without a roof over your head inhibiting the view.

Most noteworthy, the stay cable design concept development and final design for the new bridge were carried out by the Roads & Traffic Authority of NSW. Finally, the bridge was opened to traffic on 03 December 1995 as the Glebe Island Bridge.

The bridge was given its current name on Remembrance Day in 1998 to honour the memory of the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (known as Anzacs) who served in World War I.

However, time was nearly up so our riders dropped our passengers back at their hotel, a great way to see parts of the city only the locals know about. The Sydney Harley and trike tour was such a fun experience. The passengers could relax and just enjoy the feeling of freedom.

The 70th birthday present tour was organised by Maree’s sister as a surprise. Maree has never been on a motorcycle and Brigid thought it would be a different (and unforgettable) present. It was! Maree and her husband John loved their tour around the Northern Beaches.

Our trike rider Syl, picked them up from their home in Curl Curl. The passengers didn’t know what to expect, all they knew was they needed to be home. So you can imagine the look of surprise on their faces. ?

Queenscliff and Manly Beaches

Firstly they rode along the beautiful coastline to Queenscliff and along Queenscliff Beach. It really could be called North Manly Beach because they join each other. This lead them to Manly so they rode through Manly and past the famous Manly Beach. They followed the coastline part of the way until they had to leave it to drive over the Spit Bridge. The views from here are spectacular. So far, the 70th birthday present tour was taking our passengers to beautiful scenic places.

The Spit Bridge

The Spit Bridge is a steel and concrete girder bridge with a bascule lift span across the Middle Harbour. It was opened on 19 November 1958, taking the place of the first Spit Bridge was , a timber low–level bridge. Before the wodden bridge, there was a hand-operated punt service began in 1850 and continued until 1889, when it was replaced by a steam punt.

Balmoral Beach

Next, the rode to the gorgeous and much loved Balmoral Beach. It is a very popular beach for Sydneysiders, just around the corner from the Sydney Heads. Balmoral Beach is as expansive as most of the city’s ocean beaches, but its harbourside position means it’s shielded from winds and big waves, so the calm waters provide a sheltered swimming enclosure and lovely picnic spots.

However, the hour was almost up so Syl turned around and rode them back home. In conclusion, the 70th birthday present tour was a huge success. A very fun and memorable birthday present. Even though our passengers live in the area, the views look so different from the back of a trike!

The Sydney Harbour trike tour was booked by Kate for her birthday. She and Jeremy were in Sydney for the long weekend and wanted to celebrate. Our rider Syl, met them at Circular Quay. We emailed a map so they knew exactly where to meet.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic. It’s nicknamed ‘The Coathanger’ because of its arch-based design. It is the largest steel arch bridge in the world.

Kirribilli

Next, they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge. A perfect place to stop for photos.

The Kirribilli Loop

They rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool. So far, on the Sydney Harbour trike tour they were seeing great views and some Sydney icons.

Blues Point Reserve

Continuing on, they rode on through Milsons Point, did a left hand turn and rode up a few streets. This lead to Blues Point Reserve. The views over Blues Bay towards the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and the CBD are just stunning. All the more stunning because of the lovely weather.

Mrs Macquarie’s Point

After checking out the north shore, they rode back over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, past the Royal Botanical Gardens to Mrs Macquarie’s Point. It has beautiful views looking west towards the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. They ride past Mrs Macquarie’s Chair. Mrs Macquarie’s Chair is an exposed sandstone rock cut into the shape of a bench, on a peninsula in Sydney Harbour. It was hand carved by convicts in 1810, for Elizabeth Macquarie, the wife of Major-General Lachlan Macquarie, Governor of NSW.

However, time was up so Syl dropped our passengers back at Circular Quay to continue their celebrations. In conclusion, the Sydney Harbour trike tour was a huge success. Kate wrote:
“Hi Katrina!
We had a fantastic time with Syl, thanks.
Kate”
