Champion Salespeople come to Sydney as their reward and pick Harley and Trike rides as one of their rewards - James and his Dad Paul

The weather was looking decidedly outcast and the forecast was thunderstorms.
At least we weren't getting Cyclone Ita which Far North Queensland was about to get.

The original meeting place was the Sydney Hilton Hotel but was change in the morning to the Opera House. Parking here is always interesting. The Motorcycle Highway Patrol had set up a place for the Harleys and Trikes to do the pick up. The Officers were great and it all worked out so well.

So to make this one easier its mostly pictures.


This is pre the meeting as we tried to get parking after being stopped from being at the Opera House.

Getting into the wet weather gear to ward off the rain.

This policing business never ends.

I meet up with James and he decides to ride on the pretty bike aka Show Pony.

Up until the birth of his baby (I never found out the gender) James used to ride Sportsbikes.

This is going to be a shook to his system, on the BACK of a HARLEY.

 

James and I ready to roll.

Let's go, we need to see Bondi Beach and the scenery there!

Enroute and caught behind Greg Hellrider!

James thinking, so that's why it doesn't go round corners, too much chrome weighting it down.

Now pretend you are enjoying yourselves.

James is ready to go it alone but where's the helmet and jacket?

Some other achievers. So, this is how you ride a Harley and sidecar.

Having the Harley life explained.

And that's how it is.

And one last point.

Having now been told, Paul is ready to ride.

Helmets on and soon we are travelling again.

Hangin' loose on the Show Pony.

Homeward bound for the Hilton.

The weather stayed very kind to us, I think the raincoat helped.

The ride was with Troll Tours- just click the Troll to link.

Additional photos through the generosity of Greg Hellrider.

The Show pony is a 2005 Harley Davidson Deluxe.
