First time Harley experience testimonial:

Thrilling Ride ?????

First of all, I have never ridden on a motorcycle before. Phil made sure I felt safe and took good care of me and after the whole trip I was having the time of my life. He had many interesting facts to share with me and pointed out interesting buildings and structures. I would definitely do this again when I return to Sydney. Thanks Phil!

Jacqueline 

It had always been a dream of Jacqueline’s to go on a Harley. We felt privileged that she chose us to provide her first time Harley experience. It was postponed because of the rain but finally today we could do it. The rain held off enough, so while it wasn’t a blue sky day it was safe and dry.

Our Harley rider picked Jacqueline up in The Rocks.

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 Bridge trike tours they were seeing great views and some Sydney icons. Then it was back over the ‘The Coathanger’.

Centennial Park

Riding through the huge Centennial Park is a lovely experience. 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, Jacqueline’s first time Harley experience was a lot of fun.

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.

Mrs Macquarie’s Point

Past the Royal Botanical Gardens to Mrs Macquarie’s Point was next. 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, the 2 hour tour was almost up so Phil rode Jacqueline to the drop off point. The first time Harley experience was a huge success.

The birthday celebration Harley ride testimonial:

Hi Katrina!!

We all had a blast on the Harley’s!!! Absolutely fantastic and would highly recommend to all our friends and family. Phil and the riders were great, big thanks to Phil for taking the photos. We all can’t wait to do it again!!

Thanks for all your help in organising the ride, we just loved it!!!

Kind regards 
Cindy 

Cindy was celebrating a special birthday so wanted to do something special and memorable. She organised the birthday celebration Harley ride for on her actual birthday. But, it was rainging so it was postponed until today. Our six Harley riders did the 1.5 hour ride, dropped them off at Bondi Icebergs. As the passengers walked in the door of Icebergs, it oured down so the riders got soaked. At least the girls stayed dry.

The passengers live in the western suburbs so caught a train into Milsons Point. Our Harley riders met the passengers there and took thme on a fun tour of this area and the eastern suburbs.

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. Even on an overcast day it is a beautiful city and harbour.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Then it was over the Harbour Bridge and into the city. 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.

Mrs Macquarie’s Point

To get here, you drive past the Royal Botanical Gardens and the Art Gallery of NSW. Mrs Macquarie’s Point 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.

Next, they rode past Harry’s Cafe De Wheels in Wooloomooloo. Lots of celebrities have been there and had their photos taken, it is always interesting. Harry’s has been serving customers for over 80 years. They make delicious pies, hotdogs and more.

Then it was up the hill and 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). So far, the birthday celebration Harley ride has taken them to a lot of different places in Sydney.

Then it was through the eastern suburbs of Sydney, including the Bays: Rose Bay, Double Bay and Rushcutters Bay. Continuing on, they rode north on the South Peninsula to the Gap.

“The Gap”

They stopped at “The Gap” for photos. The view is towards North Head and out to the Tasman Sea, part of the South Pacific Ocean. Watsons Bay sits on the end of the South Head peninsula. Although the cliff is a popular visitor destination, it has an infamy for suicides.

We then rode via Dover Heights to North Bondi Headland. They stopped for a stretch, some photos and to see the view. It has a stunning view which looks south, down the coastline and to the famous Bondi Beach. It’s probably the most famous beach in the world. 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

Next, it was fun riding past the famous Bondi Beach. In this area, onlookers always seem to wave. 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.

However, the 1.5 hours was up so the Harley riders dropped them at Bondi Icebergs to continue the birthday celebration. In conclusion, the birthday celebration Harley ride was a lot of fun and a huge success. Definitely worth it we were told.

Southern Harley tour escapade testimonial: “Fantastic trip today on Harley Davidson Southern journey Sydney to Kiama around coastal Wollongong area, Stanwell Tops – awesome views. Loved the cruise it was perfect thank you! Phil is a gentleman driver, very professional and thank you so much!! I got to places I haven’t seen in years including old locations and towns.

Breathtaking views and scenery to die for! Only on a Harley Davison can you can see the amazing views. Bucket list drive and a rare getaway.

Thank you Katrina and Trevor, I recommend the Southern Spectacular tour if you love to cruise ”
Gabriella

Gabriella organised the Southern Harley tour escapade for herself. Since Covid hit she has been run off her feet, work wise. She needed a break, even a short one, to forget about the daily grind and relax.

Sure, we can help with that. Gabriella has been on a trike with us before, with her Mum. This time she went by herself on the Harley. Our Harley rider Phil picked her up from home near Sydney University.

Firstly, they decided to get rid of any cobwebs, so to speak. Phil rode down the Princes Highway to Kiama. Yes, on a Harley you can often get to places faster without speeding, than in a car.

Sea Cliff Bridge

After there, they turned and headed north. One of the main attractions of this tour and of the area, is the Sea Cliff Bridge. The road used to have some scary moments. The potential of falling debris or subsidence into the sea made it necessary to close the road, but all is well again. The impressive 665 metre Sea Cliff Bridge is now in operation, snaking its way around the cliffs and over the water, offering a far safer but spectacular route.

Bald Hill lookout – Stanwell Tops

Famously well known, Stanwell Tops is known for its beautiful coastal, escarpment and cliff views. The hills that rise sharply from the coast to the escarpment with strong air currents make Stanwell Tops a prime spot for hang gliding and paragliding. It is the perfect spot to take a photo and admire the views of the ocean, the escarpment and the Sea Cliff Bridge. So far, the Southern Harley tour escapade was a perfect escape and a real success.

Royal National Park

Next, they rode through some of the Royal National Park. The Royal National Park was established in 1879 and spans 160 square kilometres. As Australia’s first National Park and after Yellowstone in the U.S.A. it was the second National Park in the world to be established.

Finally, after riding through the Royal National Park, the 4 hours was almost up. Phil rode Gabriella back to her home. In conclusion, the Southern Harley tour escapade was the perfect way to escape life for a little while.

Birthday gifts Harley tour testimonial:

“Thanks for the photos. The ride was enjoyable even though I had not been on a bike for years !
Phil was helpful and courteous. Ok to use any photo despite helmet looking a bit too big etc.
Cheers. Ian”

Ian’s granddaughter gave him the birthday gift Harley tour. He was so excited and enjoyed the Harley tour immensely.

Our Harley rider Phil picked him up from home in the inner west.

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.

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.

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. So far, the birthday gifts Harley tour was such fun.

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, the hour was up so Phil dropped Ian back home. The birthday gifts Harley tour was a great present. A fun and memorable experience. Also, a great way to see parts of the city only the locals know about.

Michael + Mirren did a trike tour with us in 2020. They would have done one again last year but covid got in the way. They booked the explore Sydney trike tours this time. Last time they did the North Shore Skimmer, tour. From out of Sydney, they come for a holiday and a change of scenery. We certainly can give them that! This tour explored the eastern suburbs of Sydney which they had never been to. Our trike rider Syl, picked them up from their accommodation in Sydney city.

Mrs Macquarie’s Point

Firstly, they rode through our fine city, past the Royal Botanical Gardens to Mrs Macquarie’s Point. Here they stopped for photos. It has beautiful views looking west towards the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. They rode 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.

Woolloomoolloo and Kings Cross

Stopping at Harry’s Cafe De Wheels for a look is always interesting. Lots of celebrities have been there and had their photos taken.

Continuing on, 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. Next 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).

Then it was through the eastern suburbs of Sydney, including the Bays: Rose Bay, Double Bay and Rushcutters Bay. The riders usually stop at either North Bondi or Bondi Beach for photos.

Bondi Beach, Tamarama and Bronte

Next, it was fun riding past the famous Bondi Beach. In this area, onlookers always seem to wave. 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 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 explore Sydney trike tours was a huge success.

Then, they rode past more of the lovely eastern beaches – Tamarama and Bronte. Tamarama is an eastern beachside suburb of Sydney, in NSW. It is affectionately nicknamed Glamarama (or Glamourama), as it is a beach where wannabe trend setters come to sunbathe and swim or simply try to be seen. ?

Watsons Bay and The Gap

Finally, they rode to “The Gap” and stopped for photos. The view towards North Head and out to the South Pacific Ocean. However, the hour was up so they rode to the drop off at Watsons Bay. From there, they could have a bite to eat and catch the ferry back into the city. Watsons Bay sits on the end of the South Head peninsula. In conclusion, the explore Sydney trike tours was a great way to see the city and eastern suburbs in all its beauty.

disabled passenger trike tour testimonial:

“Hi Katrina,

Thanks for a great adventure and thanks for the photos!! We love your suggestions – we will definitely keep them in mind for next time!

See you soon!

Jenni”

We have done a few disabled passenger trike tour for Trusted Travel. The passengers and companions love the tour so the company keeps asking us to more. The passengers come from all around NSW for a holiday is 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 4 passengers this time (covid has a lot to answer for) so we organised two trikes 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 was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool. So far, the disabled passenger 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.

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 disabled passenger trike tour was such a fun experience. The passengers could relax and just enjoy the feeling of freedom.
