The Harley ride around Middle Harbour was a present for Zen’s 28^th Birthday. It was from his friend David. Phil picked Zen up from his house in the inner west of Sydney.

the Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. As we always tell our passengers – look up. It’s not often you can see the amazing arches from this angle. There is no roof to block the view.

Secondly, they stopped north of the bridge at Kirribilli. It has a wonderful view across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Opera House. After that, they did the Kirribilli Loop. This means, they rode under the northern section of the Sydney Harbour Bridge so they could look up and see the underneath.

Bradleys Head

They finished the loop by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool. Continuing on, they rode down to Bradleys Head. This takes you past the zoo. Often you will see a koala lazily chewing a leaf. Similarly, Bradleys Head has spectacular views across Sydney Harbour.

Balmoral Beach

After that, was the famous Balmoral Beach. A wonderful place to swim with lots of good places to eat as well. However, there was no time to do it on the tour.

Continuing along Military Road, they rode to the Spit lookout. Again, more beautiful views. This one looks onto the bays and waterways of Middle Harbour, the start of the northern beaches.

best birthday present ever

However, the 1.5 hours was almost up. Phil took Zen back to his house. Zen loved the whole experience. In other words, the Harley ride around Middle Harbour was a huge success and one of the best birthday presents ever.

Some background history

Bradleys Head is a headland protruding from the north shore of Sydney Harbour. Above all, on the headland is an active lighthouse, Bradleys Head Light, constructed in 1905.

Balmoral is named after Balmoral Castle, Scotland. The Promenade along the Esplanade was completed in 1926 in response to the influx of new visitors travelling by tram – no trams there now. However, just be aware, if you drive and park around there, the parking fees are huge.

The Spit Bridge, a steel and concrete girder bridge with a bascule liftspan across the Middle Harbour. The Spit Bridge, completed in 1958, is of state significance. It is a substantial landscape feature that has played a crucial role. For instance, it allowed the development of the northern beaches suburbs to occur over the last 44 years. In addition, the Bridge is also extremely rare as it is the only lift bridge still operational on a major arterial road.

It was Hayden’s birthday and Vivian wanted to do something special. So she organised the Sydney trike birthday experience with us. Hayden got a huge surprise and loved every minute of it.

Craig picked them up from their hotel in North Sydney. They rode to Kirribilli. Kirribilli on the north side of the Harbour Bridge has a wonderful views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD. A view we never tire of. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge.

However, after looking at the traffic, Craig and the passengers decided to do the 3 Bridges ride. There was a lot of congestion going into the city. In other words, it’s always better to keep the wheels turning than to sit in traffic.

So they continued 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

It is the Fig Tree Bridge which 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. 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

They continued on riding onto the incredible ANZAC Bridge – bridge #3. Similarly, it is also great to see without a roof over your head inhibiting the view. Riding into the city is always interesting, however, time was up so Craig dropped the passengers near Madame Tussuades. Our passengers thought the 50th birthday trike tour was fantastic, a great way to see parts of the city only the locals know about.

In conclusion, the Sydney trike birthday experience was a huge success, another “best birthday present ever”.

The surprise Harley tour Sydney was organised by Barb’s cousin and wife. Barb is visiting them from South Africa and they know she loves Harleys. Barb rides a bike back home and she loves the sound of Harleys.

Jungle turned up at their place in the inner west of Sydney. Brian and his wife met Jungle out the front and asked him to go up to the house, knock on the door and yell out her name.

Surprise

Barb came to the door and Jungle said “Happy birthday, your ride has arrived”. Jungle said he’s never seen a jaw drop so far. ?

Firstly they rode over the wonderful ANZAC Bridge, it’s probably our favourite Sydney bridge. Next, was the fly over and onto the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. Look up to see the arches without anything blocking your view!

Sydney Harbour and Opera House

After that they stopped at Kirribilli for photos. There is a beautiful view across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Opera House and the city. Also, you will see a different perspective to the Harbour Bridge.

Continuing on, they rode down the Pacific Highway and along River Road to the Fig Tree Bridge. They rode under it to have a look at the Lane Cover River. Back onto Burns Bay Road and over the Tarban Creek Bridge and yet another bridge – the Gladesville Bridge.

The Gladesville Bridge and Callan Park

The Gladesville Bridge has wonderful views looking east towards the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the city. Travelling along Victoria Road, a main thoroughfare they turned off at Callan Park. It is a beautiful area that used to be The Callan Park Hospital for the Insane. It is now a heritage-listed former insane asylum and a college campus.

Finally, they rode past Orange Grove Organic Markets. They are extremely popular with people all over Sydney because of the quality and variety. However, time was up so Jungle dropped her back home. In conclusion, this was a fantastic surprise Harley tour Sydney. A great present and a memorable experience. Don’t forget, we can take you on a trike tour if your aren’t confident about going on a Harley.

The Harley tour around Sydney sights was a present for Teresa’s birthday. She and Chris came up from Wollongong for the day. To celebrate and to do the Harley ride.

Phil and Perry picked them up from Central Station. Firstly, they rode through the city and onto the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. As we always tell everyone – make sure you look up and see the arches. It is a great view without a car roof blocking your view. Continuing on, they did the Kirribilli Loop.

The Kirribilli Loop

We made this name up to describe this section of the ride. Most importantly, it is one of the most popular areas to take our passengers. We stop near Jeffrey Street Wharf, Kirribilli. The views across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are breath taking.

The Kirribilli Loop takes you under the north side of the Harbour Bridge. A totally opposite perspective than riding across it. After that, ride past the entrance to Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool.

Mrs Macquarie’s Point

Back over the harbour bridge to Mrs Macquarie’s Point. This is where Mrs Macquarie’s Chair is located but we can’t see it from the road. Next, they rode through Woolloomooloo and past the famous Harry’s Cafe De Wheels. Up into the infamous Kings Cross though it’s tamed down compared to its heyday. They continued on into the city. However, time was up so they were dropped off in Chinatown. Then they could keep celebrating with lunch.

The Harley tour around Sydney sights was the best present ever. In conclusion, this is an experience they will always remember – the adventure of a lifetime!

As of June 2017, Sydney’s estimated metropolitan population was 5,230,330 and is home to approximately 65% of the state’s population. Sydney is the most populous city in Australia and Oceania.

Our passengers wanted to a Sydney scenic trike tour. They are from the Philippines and holidaying in Sydney. Most importantly, our family knew we would give them a great experience and show them the main sights.

Pick up from Bondi Icebergs

Our trike riders, Brian and Kym, picked them up from outside Bondi Icebergs. Firstly, they rode through the city and as usual they received a lot of attention. It is a good way to see the city and for the city to see you. ?

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Next, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is a view and an experience we never tire of. However, make sure you look up to see the arches in all their glory. They are wonderful to look at without the roof of a car blocking the view.

The passengers wanted somewhere with a good backdrop to take photos. For instance, Kirribilli certainly provided the ideal scenery. So they stopped for photos and to admire the view. It is a spectacular view across Sydney Harbour towards the Opera House and the CBD. There is also an interesting perspective to the Harbour Bridge.

The Kirribilli Loop

They continued on, doing what we call “The Kirribilli Loop”. This takes us under the north end of the bridge. Pass by the entrance to Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool. Then it was back onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge. However, time was up so they rode back through the city and back to Bondi Icebergs.

In conclusion, the Sydney scenic trike tour was a huge success. Our passengers loved the whole experience and our riders enjoyed taking them.
