Sydney’s northern beaches Harley – Graham 10.03.23

Sydney’s northern beaches Harley tour was actually a Christmas present for Graham. From Scotland, Lyndsay thought it would be a great gift to do when they were in Sydney. It sure was!

Testimonial

Hi Katrina,

Graham had a great time thanks, a very different experience for him! 

Best wishes 
Lyndsay 

Manly

Our Harley rider Pat, picked Graham up from Manly. We emailed a description and map of where to meet. Accordingly, they knew exactly where to meet our Harley rider. Manly has several claims to fame; it was the birthplace of surfing in Australia, the first place to legalise all-day bathing in 1903 and one of the world’s first Surf Life Saving clubs. Manly Beach was the location for the first World Surfing Championships held in 1964.

Freshwater, Curl Curl, Dee Why etc

Firstly, they rode past the famous and iconic Manly Beach. This leads past Queenscliff, which is really northern Manly. Then they rode past Freshwater, Curl Curl, Dee Why and Long Reef. All such beautiful beaches.

Narrabeen Lagoon

They rode via Narrabeen Lagoon (also referred to as Narrabeen Lake) is Sydney’s Northern Beaches largest estuary system located just behind the world famous surfing beach at Narrabeen. It is a haven for wildlife. So far, the Sydney’s northern beaches Harley tour was a lot of fun. Already Graham has seen so many of the beautiful places many visitors or locals to Sydney don’t get to see.

“Home and Away”

Then the tour went via Bilgola Plateau, Clareville, Careel Bay and Avalon before reaching Whale Beach. Between Whale Beach and Palm Beach is the Palm Beach Bible Garden. It has spectacular views over Palm Beach. After a stop for coffee, a stretch and a look at the view, they headed to Palm Beach. It is the home of the long running TV series “Home and Away”. However, the 3 hour tour was just over halfway done, so Syl turned around and they headed back to the Spit Bridge and their car.

Pittwater

Next, they turned right and headed along Mona Vale Road, Terry Hills. Certainly, this meant they would have new scenery and new roads to ride on.

Wakehurst Parkway

They did a big loop as this joins the Wakehurst Parkway. We love the Wakehurst Parkway because the legal speed is faster than most Sydney limits.  

Oxford Falls

After riding along a part of it, they rode up the Parkway to Oxford Falls. The Oxford Falls are two waterfalls on Middle Creek, which flows north to meet Oxford Creek. Meandering Creek flows into Middle Creek. Garigal National Park borders the suburb, to the north. However, time was almost up so it was through the northern suburbs and back to Manly. In conclusion, the Sydney’s northern beaches Harley tour was a lot of fun and a memorable experience, a great Christmas present!

Sydney Harbour Bridge tour – Ann + David 09.03.23

The Sydney Harbour Bridge tour was perfect for our African passengers. In Sydney for a holiday, the trike tour was a great way to see the two main icons of Sydney. There are plenty more icons but these are Sydney’s main ones.

Our trike rider Brian, picked them up from their hotel in Sydney’s CBD.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passenger to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic. This bridge is the eighth longest spanning-arch bridge in the world and the tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 m (440 ft) from top to water level. It was also the world’s widest long-span bridge, at 48.8 m (160 ft) wide, until construction of the new Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver was completed in 2012.

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. So far, the Sydney Harbour Bridge tour was a lot of fun and they have already seen so much.

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.

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. Another perfect place for photos.

However, the hour was almost up, so Brian rode back over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and dropped them off at their hotel. In conclusion, the Sydney Harbour Bridge tour was a great way to see the two icons – the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House across Sydney Harbour. Overall, a huge success and so much fun. Feel the Freedom!

surprise FIL Harley tour – Jodie + Reg 26.02.23

The surprise FIL Harley tour was organised by Eric for his wife and father-in-law. Our Harley riders picked the passengers up from their home on the north shore.

Blues Point Reserve

Firstly, they rode 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. A perfect place for photos.

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.

It was also the world’s widest long-span bridge, at 48.8 m (160 ft) wide, until construction of the new Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver was completed in 2012.

St Mary’s Cathedral, Woolloomooloo and Kings Cross

Then, they rode past St Mary’s Cathedral which is very impressive, even when riding past. It’s a Gothic Revival architectural building which opened in 1928. It took from 1866 to 1928 to build and has a height of 75m. 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. Then it was up the hill and through Kings Cross.

Eastern suburbs

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). After there, they headed east through the posh suburbs of the eastern suburbs of Sydney, including the Bays: Rose Bay, Double Bay and Rushcutters Bay.

North Bondi and Brighton Lookout

There are a couple of lookouts at the North Bondi headland. They all offer beautiful views of Bondi Beach and out to the Tasman Sea, part of the South Pacific Ocean. Brian stopped there for a few photos and so they could admire the view. So far, the surprise FIL Harley tour was a lot of fun. Our passengers have already seen many of the beautiful beaches and sights of Sydney.

Watsons Bay and The Gap

Heading north through some upper class suburbs, they rode to “The Gap” and stopped for photos. The view towards North Head and out to the South Pacific Ocean. Watsons Bay sits on the end of the South Head peninsula. The Gap is an ocean cliff which faces the Tasman Sea, is located in the suburb of Watsons Bay. Although the cliff is a popular tourist destination, it is infamous for suicides.

Bondi Beach

Next, they drove past the world famous Bondi Beach to the south side. Looking from the two ends of the beach give a different perspective. This is the beach where Bondi Lifeguards of the Bondi Rescue TV series is filmed. 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.

Tamarama Beach and Bronte Beach

Next, they rode south to the tiny but picturesque Tamarama Beach and further on Bronte Beach. It’s lovely to look out to the South Pacific Ocean from any of the beaches.

However, the 2 hours was almost up, so our Harley riders turned around, rode back through the eastern suburbs and dropped them back at their home. In conclusion, the surprise FIL Harley tour was a lot of fun, very scenic and a memorable experience. Feel the Freedom!

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Our trike rider Brian, picked them up from one of their homes in the inner west of Sydney. Firstly, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passenger to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic.

birthday Harley ride gift – Dennis 26.02.23

The birthday Harley ride gift was organised for Dennis from his wife Judy. Our Harley rider Phil, met them at Circular Quay where Dennis was kitted up with a helmet. It was too warm for a jacket and gloves.

Review

Good afternoon Katrina,

Dennis met up with Phil today for his bike ride and was so happy with the ride and service, Phil is a great asset.

Once again thank you we will be using your services very soon,
Judy

Later Judy also wrote,”Looking forward to doing another adventure with your guys”.

Centennial Park

Firstly, they rode through the huge Centennial Park, it is a lovely experience, they stopped for photos at one of the ponds. 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 birthday Harley ride gift was a lot of fun and very informative. Dennis has already seen many of the beautiful beaches and sights of Sydney on this tour.

Bondi Beach

Further north they came to the famous Bondi Beach. Here they stopped for photos (where this photo was taken) and why not with this view! On 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.

Sydney Mardi Gras parade – Mardi Gras 25.02.23

The Sydney Mardi Gras parade 2023 was fun. For those who don’t know, Mardi Gras is French for “Fat Tuesday“, reflecting the practice of the last night of eating rich, fatty foods before the ritual Lent season begins on Ash Wednesday.

The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras festival culminates in the renowned Sydney Mardi Gras Parade, an LGBTQIA+ rights protest and celebration of sexuality. The parade features more than 20,000 entrants this year, in colourful costumes and elaborate floats, who represent a community group, topical theme or political message.

The last 2 years the parade has been held at the Sydney Cricket Ground which is not quite the same. 2023 brings it back to it’s usual home (since 1978) on Oxford St. Since 2014, we have joined with People with Disability Australia (pwda) in the parade, with the exception of the covid years.

A long but fun day

It’s a long but fun day. The Mardi Gras organisers are very strict, which is a very good thing. ID, paperwork, permits, entry passes all have to be organised. People with Disability Australia organise all that for us. We joined the float at 2pm so when we arrived at the marshalling area, we were all together. After checking everyone’s ID and paperwork we took our place among the parade participants. We were #10 in the parade which was good, it meant we finished early.

Mardi Gras

Earlier, in the planning days, we received an email from the organisers, “Mardi Gras is just one of the many activities being held across the two-week festival. The eyes of the world will be on us! And as result of it WorldPride there will be approximately an extra 500,000 people from all around the world joining Mardi Gras this year – an event that usually has 200,000 participants and spectators.”

That’s a lot of people!

After waiting for many hours, the time came and off we went. It was a time of celebration, fun and acceptance, no matter who you are.

History

On 24 June 1978 a small group of gay and lesbian people operating as the Gay Solidarity Group staged a day of events in Sydney. The intention was to promote gay and lesbian culture and to encourage political activism against the discrimination they routinely experienced.

I (Katrina) was actually in Chinatown with my family and some family friends. We had finished eating, came out to the footpath to go home. Suddenly, a large tray truck drove by. On the back were semi-naked men in bondage leather costumes. As a 13 year old, it was something I had never seen before – actually something no-one had seen before. So, I have never forgotten but it wasn’t until decades later I realised it was the first Mardi Gras parade in Sydney.

We had 3 trikes in the Sydney Mardi Gras parade.

late Valentine’s Day treat – Ann + Patrick 24.02.23

Our passengers called this tour a late Valentine’s Day treat. They are from Sydney and Brian showed them places they had never seen before. They caught the train into Circular Quay where our trike rider met them and started the tour.

Review

Dear Katrina,

“My husband and I had a blast with Brian on the North Shore Skimmer tour to Manly. Despite living in Sydney for more than 20 years Brian shared new areas and interesting facts about the city, we’re lucky to call home.

Highly recommended and great fun. Thanks again.

We look forward to seeing Troll Trikes at the Mardi Gras.

Cheers
Ann and Patrick

Opera House + Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode to the Sydney Opera House. We can’t get very close but we know some good angles which give some great scenic views. Then it was 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.

lower North Shore suburbs

Continuing east, they rode through Cremorne, Mosman and down past the Taronga Zoo to Bradleys Head. Make sure you look for the koalas eating and sleeping in the gum trees. So far, the late Valentine’s Day treat is a huge success, very interesting and fun.

Bradleys Head and Balmoral Beach

Similarly, Bradleys Head has wonderful views across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the CBD. Riding on, they rode past the lovely posh Balmoral Beach. Everyone who comes here loves it! Balmoral Beach is not so well known by visitors and tourists, but the stunning natural beauty of the beach and surrounds make it well worth a visit. Crossing the Spit Bridge is fun, it has great views of Middle Harbour.

After Balmoral Beach they continued on past, Seaforth and Clontarf before stopping at Tania Park. Tania Park is on Dobroyd Head with stunning views looking across Sydney Harbour and through North and South Heads. Arabanoo lookout at Dobroyd Head is named in honour of Arabanoo, the first Aboriginal man to live among European settlers. It’s a great spot for whale watching, offering views over North and South Head and the Pacific Ocean. This is where the photo was taken.

Manly + Queenscliff

Then it was down the hill into Manly. They rode past Manly Beach and up past Queenscliff, which is really northern Manly. Up to Curl Curl to see one of our favourite beaches. However, the 2 hours was almost up so Brian turned around, and went back through the north shore using a different route. Back over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and they were dropped back at Circular Quay.

In conclusion, the late Valentine’s Day treat was a big success. Our passengers saw areas of Sydney that they had never been to before. Feel the Freedom.

Testimonial

Hi Katrina,
I had an excellent time this morning with Phil and his gorgeous Harley. They have always been a favorite of mine. My son and daughter in law gifted me this present for my recent birthday.

Please feel free to use a photo … I am thrilled with them. 
Cheers,
Wendy

However, the hour was up so Phil dropped Wendy back at Circular Quay. By the time this tour was up, Wendy wanted to go longer. As can be seen, the birthday Harley tour was a great one. In conclusion, it was lots of fun, informative and a memorable experience. Feel the Freedom!

Keith was waiting here for her.

In conclusion, the Valentine’s Day Harley tour was a big success. She loved the Harley ride, it was a memorable and special.
