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.

Gloria always had a dream that her grandson would buy a Harley when he grew up. Then he could take her on rides. It never happened so he, his wife and child organised the birthday Harley Davidson ride for her.

They live on the Central Coast so drove down to Sydney and met Jungle at Circular Quay. They rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and stopped for photos at Kirribilli. There are wonderful views across the Harbour to the Opera House and the city.

They continued on to do the 3 Bridges tour. This meant they rode through the lower north shore suburbs to the inner west. Over the interesting Gladesville Bridge and along Victoria Road, a main arterial road.

Soon they turned off Victoria Road to follow the Bay Run. People come from all over Sydney to walk or run the 7 kms of the Bay Run. It is part of the inner western suburbs and really is a pretty area. The Bay Run travels around the Iron Cove Bay, part of the Parramatta River.

Then they rode over the incredible ANZAC Bridge, through the city and back to Circular Quay. Gloria loved the roar of the Fatboy Harley and she had such a fabulous experience.

A birthday Harley Davidson ride is always one of the best presents you can get someone. Contact us and we will happily help you organise the experience of a lifetime.

The Bay Run is a 7-kilometre-long (4.3 mi) shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians that encircles much of Iron Cove and is located in the inner-western suburbs of Sydney. The Bay Run is particularly popular with joggers, walkers, roller skaters and cyclists who enjoy the pleasant waterside scenery whilst participating in exercise. The shared path passes through the suburbs of Rozelle, Lilyfield, Haberfield, Five Dock and Drummoyne.

Warren’s 83rd birthday Harley tour was a surprise organised by his daughters and granddaughters. They drove him into the city to Dawes Point near the “Still Life with Stone and Car”. They told him to go and ask the Harley rider who was waiting there to move up. Warren said there was plenty of room so wouldn’t ask him that but wanted to talk to the rider anyway.

So Warren got out of the car and went to talk to the Harley rider who just happened to be Jungle, our rider. The rest of the family got out of the car and followed him. After Warren and Jungle had been talking for a while the family told Warren he was going on a ride.

To say Warren was happy was an understatement. He had never ridden on a Harley before and had always wanted to. He used to ride Indian motorcycles, he learnt to ride while in the army, training for the Korean War. It was over before he got to go but he has always used the riding skills he learnt. He and his family used to ride trail bikes.

So Jungle took Warren on the ride of a lifetime. They did the ‘3 Bridges Tour’ with a surprise detour. Firstly they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge to Blues Point Reserve where they stopped for photos. Next they rode through the lower north shore suburbs. This led them to the Gladeville Bridge in the inner west. It has wonderful views to the city.

Then Jungle decided to do a detour to the Indian dealership on Parramatta Road. Warren didn’t realise they were still being made and he loved looking around and seeing how much they have changed since he rode one.

They continued on the tour and over the incredible ANZAC Bridge. We never tire of the design of it, just amazing. Jungle rode through the city and back to the drop off point in Dawes Point.

Jungle loved the ride just as much as Warren did. One thing our riders do like is the amazing and interesting variety of people they take on rides. Warren was one of them, Jungle loved hearing his stories. So for a fun 83rd birthday Harley tour or any other birthday, contact us and we will make it happen.

Wayne is living in Sydney at the moment and decided a Sydney Harley tour would show him parts of Sydney he hadn’t seen. It would also help his orientation of the city and inner suburbs. Perry picked him up from the CBD and took him on a tour around the city and the outer Sydney area.

They did the 3 Bridges Tour with extra detours. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is always great to ride over. It is so impressive and famous. The lower north shore suburbs are nice to see and they join the inner west suburbs. The inner western suburbs has lovely English architecture dating back to the 1800s.

They went for a ride through the wealthy area of Hunters Hill and stopped to admire the view of Sydney across Parramatta River. It is from a perspective most visitors to our city don’t get to see.

Wayne love the Harley ride with Perry and reckons a Sydney Harley tour is the way to go. It is a fun experience and definitely a good way to see different areas of Sydney. https://www.trolltours.com.au/product/design-your-own-ride/

Hunters Hill is a suburb in the North Shore of Sydney. It is located nine kilometres (five point six miles) north-west of the CBD. The area’s Aboriginal name is ‘Mookaboola’ or ‘Moocooboola’, which means meeting of waters.

Hunters Hill was named after John Hunter, the second Governor of New South Wales, who was in office between 1795 and 1800. The area that is now Hunters Hill was settled in 1835.

One of the earliest settlers was Mary Reibey, the first female retailer in Sydney. Reiby Street is named after her. During the 1840s, bushrangers and convicts who had escaped from the penal settlement on Cockatoo Island would take refuge in Hunters Hill.

In the early 20th century, there was an industrial area in Hunters Hill. One of the industries was a radium and uranium refinery operating from 1911 to 1915. The concentrated ore was transported over 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) from Radium Hill in South Australia, 100 km west of Broken Hill. At the time, uranium was considered a byproduct, but very small quantities of radium (which had been discovered in 1898) were very valuable.

The area has many heritage listed sites as well as such an interesting history.

A school holiday trike experience was a great experience for the kids. Vicki organised it as a surprise and it certainly was a great one. The kids were smiling the whole time. Craig and Steve picked them up from Vicki’s house and rode them over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We never get tired of this amazing structure and it is great to see without a roof obstructing the view.

They rode around the Royal Botanical Gardens, past Mrs Macquarie’s Chair before heading back home. This is a school holiday trike experience that the kids will never forget and will tell all their friends when they go back to school!

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a heritage-listed steel through arch bridge across Sydney Harbour that carries rail, vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic between the Sydney central business district (CBD) and the North Shore. The dramatic view of the bridge, the harbour, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is an iconic image of Sydney and Australia itself. The bridge is nicknamed “The Coathanger” because of its arch-based design.

Under the direction of Dr John Bradfield of the NSW Department of Public Works, the bridge was designed and built by British firm Dorman Long and Co Ltd of Middlesbrough and opened in 1932. The bridge’s design was influenced by the Hell Gate Bridge in New York City. It is the sixth 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.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge was added to the Australian National Heritage List on 19 March 2007 and to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 25 June 1999.
