Colin + Mark 23.02.19 – surprise 60th Harley ride

The surprise 60th Harley ride was a present to Mark from Colin. They were celebrating Mark’s birthday before going on a Tall ships dinner cruise with
their wives.

Jungle and Phil picked them up the Rocks area and rode them through the city to the eastern suburbs. The first one was nice Bronte Beach followed by the small but lovely Tamarama Beach which is in a small, scenic cove.

No tour to the east of Sydney is complete without calling in to the famous Bondi Beach, where this photo was taken. They continued onto Rose Bay, Double Bay and Rushcutters Bay. All lovely bays in the east. This took them to the infamous Kings Cross which led through Woolloomooloo and past the iconic Harry’s Cafe De Wheels.

They then rode back to the pick up place ready to go to the Tall Ships for dinner. Phil our rider wrote: “We all got soaked. but we were able to go home and have a shower. Felt a bit sorry for the guys who weren’t able to as they were going out for dinner, but they seemed OK with it. They had fun”.

A surprise 60th Harley ride is a great present to give someone who has everything. An experience of a lifetime not a possession. On the Harleys, anyone over 9 years of age is allowed as long as they can touch the footrests. So it is a great present for anyone of any age. https://www.trolltours.com.au/product/design-your-own-ride/

Cindy 21.02.19 – Northern beaches Harley ride

A northern beaches Harley ride was recommended by Cindy’s friend. Cindy is on holidays from Texas and staying with her friend who has done a ride with us before.

Our Harley rider Phil picked her up from the house at Millers Point and the first thing they did was ride over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We never get tired of looking the the bridge without a roof to construct our view!

Then they did the Kirribilli Loop. It has wonderful view across the harbour to Sydney Opera House. They then rode under the northern section of the Harbour Bridge which is a very interesting view. They continued on past Taronga Zoo to Bradleys Head. There is another great view of Sydney from there.

Next was a popular Sydney destination – Balmoral Beach. It really is a lovely area. They then rode over the Spit Bridge which has beautiful views of the harbour. Cindy really wanted to buy a Harley t-shirt so Phil took her to a Harley dealer at Brookvale.

They then rode past the lovely beaches of Curl Curl and Manly before heading back over the bridge to Millers Point. Cindy reckons the Northern beaches Harley ride was a fantastic experience.

The northern beaches is a beautiful coastline which curves from Manly to Palm Beach, also called Summer Bay, a popular destination for fans of TV soap Home and Away. Enjoy the casual ambience and natural beauty of the Northern Beaches, one of Australia’s most famous surfing meccas. You’ll find deliciously enticing places to eat and drink, too.

If we drop you off at a beach to go swimming, always swim between the red and yellow flags; surf lifesavers have identified this area as the safest spot to swim in the water. It’s also a good idea to always swim with a friend.



Hou + Jia 16.02.19 – 3 Bridges Harley ride

Our passengers are a Chinese father and daughter who are on holidays here in Sydney. They just wanted to have some fun so organised a Harley tour with us. They decided on a 3 Bridges Harley ride and they were so happy with it.

Our Harley riders Jungle and Phil picked them up from Circular Quay. Their first part of the adventure was riding over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is so much fun looking at the structure, the rivets and the arch without any constrictions, except perhaps the helmet.

The next interesting part of the ride was the Kirribilli Loop. It travels past Jeffrey Street Wharf and behind it is a wonderful view across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Opera House. They then ride under the northern section of the Sydney Harbour Bridge so they can see the underbelly of it.

They finished the loop by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool. They continued on into the lower north shore suburbs of North Sydney and Wollstonecraft. They rode along the lovely River Road into Lane Cove. Next was the first bridge but not one of the main three.

It is the Fig Tree Bridge which opened in 1963 and spans the Lane Cove River. They continued on and crossed the second of the bridges Tarban Creek Bridge. This spans Tarban Creek. Then they got to the second 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. They followed the shoreline of Iron Cove which is part of the Parramatta River. They stopped for photos at Rodd Point so they could have a proper look at part of the 7 km long Bay Run.

They continued on to the incredible ANZAC Bridge. It is also great to see without a roof over your head inhibiting the view. They rode ino the city before being dropped back at Circular Quay. Our passengers thought the 3 Bridges Harley ride was fantastic, a great way to see parts of the city only the locals know about.

Pauline 15.02.19 – Sydney city Harley tour

Pauline thought a Sydney city Harley tour would be an exciting experience and it was. Perry picked her up from her hotel and rode her around the city. They rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge to Blues Point Reserve. They stopped for photos and to admire the beautiful view. It really is a lovely view across Sydney Harbour to the Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House.

They explored more of the northern suburbs before heading to the Royal Botanical Gardens and Mrs Macquarie’s Chair. This area also has beautiful views towards the harbour and the iconic sights of The Bridge and Opera House.

Next they drove through Woolloomooloo and past the original and iconic Harry’s Cafe De Wheels. The story of ‘Harry’s Café de Wheels’ goes back to the depression years of the late 1930’s. It is known for its delicious pies and hot dogs. It is an interesting read so there is a link to the site at the end of this tour description.

From Woolloomooloo they rode up into the infamous Kings Cross. Woolloomooloo and Kings Cross are the start of the eastern suburbs. Kings Cross became known as Sydney’s night entertainment and red-light district, however many nightclubs, bars and adult entertainment venues closed due to the Sydney lockout laws.

Perry rode through the city with Pauline before dropping her back at her hotel so she could continue exploring our wonderful city on foot. A Sydney city Harley tour really is a great way to see a lot of the famous sights in such a short time.
https://www.trolltours.com.au/product/design-your-own-ride/

The phrase ‘Café de Wheels’ came about as the city council of the day insisted that mobile food caravans move a minimum of 12 inches a day. Harry dutifully obeyed and thus the name was expanded to Harry’s Café de Wheels. https://www.harryscafedewheels.com.au/history

Jackie + Geoff 15.02.19 – Sydney sightseeing trike ride

A Sydney sightseeing trike ride is definitely the best way to see the sights. From the UK, our passengers are here on a holiday for a short time. Steve picked them up at Circular Quay and took them on the Harbour Bridge Ride. Of course, the major attraction is the Harbour Bridge. It is great to ride over it without a roof blocking the view.

This way the structure of the bridge is more evident and impressive. Their first stop was Blues Point Reserve. There are wonderful views across Parramatta River where it joins Sydney Harbour. There is also a lovely view of the Harbour Bridge from the west side, looking east, with the Sydney Opera House in the background.

Next they did the Kirribilli Loop before heading back over the Sydney Harbour Bridge to the Royal Botanical Gardens. It has a a fabulous view in reverse. At the forefront is the Opera House with the Harbour Bridge in the background. Steve dropped them back at Circular Quay so they could catch the ferry back to Manly where they are staying.

A Sydney sightseeing trike ride is definitely worth doing especially if you have only a short time here. We can take you to the eastern suburbs or the northern beaches. To the Southern National Park or the Blue Mountains. It is really up to you.

The Parramatta River is an intermediate tide dominated, drowned valley estuary. Basically this means it is a drowned river valley that remains open to the sea. With an average depth of 5.1 metres (17 ft), the Parramatta River is the main tributary of Sydney Harbour, a branch of Port Jackson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parramatta_River

The beautiful Blue Mountains are a mountainous region and a mountain range located about 50 kilometres (31 mi) west of Sydney city.

Qu Family 15.02.19 – trike touring around Sydney

Trike touring around Sydney was the best way to see Sydney in such a short time frame. They organised the Eastern Panorama tour with us. Firstly they had a lovely lunch at the Sydney Fish Markets at Pyrmont. Then Craig picked them up from there and took them on the tour.

They rode under the Sydney Harbour Bridge at Dawes Point, it has lovely views across the harbour to Luna Park. There are also great views of the Opera House across Hickson Road Reserve. It is the area where the ferries come and go past which we find interesting.

Next they rode around the Royal Botanical Gardens and past Mrs Macquarie’s Chair. It also has lovely views of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, from a different perspective. They continued through Woollomooloo and through the infamous Kings Cross.

Next stop was Rose Bay where the seaplanes take off, it is a lovely scenic area. They continued further into the eastern suburbs and of course they had to visit the famous Bondi Beach. They saw a few other sights before heading back into the city. They were dropped off to continue exploring by foot. Trike touring around Sydney definitely is a fun experience and you will definitely get to see an overview of certain parts of the city.

Dawes Point is located on the north-western edge of the Sydney central business district, at the southern end of Sydney Harbour Bridge, adjacent to The Rocks. It has a lot of first settlement history. Lieutenant William Dawes (1762-1836), was an astronomer with the First Fleet. The point was renamed in honour of Dawes. In 1788 it was the site of the first guns mounted in Sydney by Dawes. It also contained Sydney’s first cemetery and later Dawes Point Battery.

John + Sarina 14.02.19 – Valentine present trike tour

A romantic, John organised a Valentine present trike tour for his lovely wife. Steve picked them up from their home in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. He took them on a romantic ride through the eastern suburb where they stopped to look at the famous Bondi Beach which was still busy in the late afternoon, as it always is. They continued south along the coastline and rode past the lovely beaches such as Tamarama and Coogee.

Steve then turned around and rode them back through Centennial Park and some of the inner eastern suburbs to a local restaurant in Woollahra. The Valentine present trike tour was an unusual but very fun experience to do on Valentine’s Day. It doesn’t have to be for Valentine’s Day, we celebrate love everyday of the year.

Bondi Beach is a popular beach and the name of the surrounding suburb and is located 7 km (4 mi) east of the Sydney CBD. Bondi Beach is one of the most visited tourist sites in Australia.

The Tasman Sea and Coogee Bay along with Coogee Beach lie towards the eastern side of the suburb. The beach is popular among families and famous for its safe swimming conditions.

Woollahra is an Aboriginal word meaning meeting ground or a sitting down place. It was adopted by Sir Daniel Cooper, 1st Baronet (1821–1902), the first speaker of the legislative assembly of NSW, when he laid the foundations of Woollahra House, Point Piper in 1856. Cooper and his descendants were responsible for the establishment and progress of the suburb. The suburb name was taken from his house name.

Woollahra was the home of John McGarvie Smith, a metallurgist and biochemist who produced the first preservable anthrax vaccine.

Doreen + Narelle 10.02.19 – 50th birthday Harley tour

It was Doreen’s 50th birthday so Narelle bought them both a 50th birthday Harley tour. They live about an hour south west of Sydney so came up especially for the ride. They heard the Harleys roar up the street way before they could see them. Jungle and Perry picked them up from Surry Hills and took them on the ride of their life.

They rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge to Kirribilli where there are wonderful views across Sydney Harbour towards the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. After photos they rode around some of the lower north shore suburbs.

Next they rode back over the bridge to the Royal Botanical Gardens. They stopped so Doreen + Narelle could go for a short stroll to see the beautiful views. The riders then took them back to Surry Hills so they could go out for a nice lunch and continue the 50th birthday celebrations.

Doreen had ridden pilion on a Harley many times in the past and loved it. She mentioned how much she missed it to Narelle who thought it a great idea to organise a 50th birthday Harley tour to celebrate. It was a hit, Doreen loved it.

Jennifer + Joy 09.02.19 – 90th birthday party trike transfer

Joy’s son organised a 90th birthday party trike transfer from the whole family. It was a great surprise for her and it was something Joy had never thought about doing before. Jennifer, Joy’s daughter, came along on the ride as well.

Kym our trike rider picked them up at home and even though the destination was only a few kilometres away, they went on a one hour adventure. Kym knows the south eastern suburbs of Sydney very well so they had a really fun time. They rode past places such as Cronulla State Park, Taren Point and San Souci.

Finally the time arrived when Kym dropped them off at the surprise birthday party. It was a huge and unexpected surprise but reaching 90 is such a milestone and one that needs to be celebrated. The whole day was a great fun.

The 90th birthday party trike transfer was such a great idea and a huge success. We can organise a trike transfer for you as well – and you don’t have to be 90! ?

Cronulla State Park is a lovely area with a good beach walk to do. Walk south and you’ll reach Oak Park ocean pool and barbeque area, and just a little further on you’ll take the small incline up to Bass and Flinders Point. The monument will give you information about these two explorers from Captain Cook’s ship, who explored and named the Port Hacking in 1796 in their little rowing boat called the Tom Thumb II.

The Cronulla Beach Walk follows more than four kilometres of coastline south from Wanda Surf Lifesaving Club to Bass and Flinders Point, where the Hacking River meets the Tasman Sea. You can start the walk from any point along the Esplanade. We can drop you there after a Harley or trike ride.

USA Friends 08.02.19 – trike adventure around Sydney

A trike adventure around Sydney was exactly what our passengers from the USA wanted to do. They wanted to do something out of the ordinary so we took them for a ride on the northern beaches.

Firstly our three Harley trike riders took the three couples over the Sydney Harbour Bridge to Kirribilli. We always stop there or at Blues Point Reserve because of the views. Both places have wonderful views over Sydney Harbour towards the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.

They then continued travelling north along the northern beaches. First stop was a “secret” lookout at Balgowlah. Almost no-one except the locals know of its existence. There is a great view looking down on the Spit Bridge and the boats moored. The view also looks towards Clontarf and the Heads, we can almost see Balmoral Beach.

The beaches north of here are beautiful, just riding past them makes us feel relaxed. We reckon they are heaps nicer than Bondi Beach but it is up to you to make your own mind up. Next stop was Dobroyd Head with its fantastic views towards the Heads – north and south. The view betweent eh two heads is of the South Pacific Ocean.

They travelled as far up as Narrabeen before turning around and heading back. There are four beaches along the Narrabeen stretch of beach, North Narrabeen, Narrabeen, South Narrabeen and Collaroy beach. They did ride back on a different road, a road which has one of the fastest speed limits in Sydney. It is surrounded by trees and nature on both sides. Sometimes kangaroos and wallabies are seen on the ride.

They continued south to the inner west where they travelled over the next two bridges (of the 3 bridges ride). We love the three main bridges (Sydney Harbour Bridge, Gladesville Bridge and the ANZAC Bridge) of Sydney so we reckon this is one of the best rides we do. We reckon our passengers had the ultimate ride – the northern beaches and the bridges all in one!

If you’d like to do this trike adventure around Sydney or something similar contact us to organise it. We can adapt it to go wherever you have on your list of places to see.
