Chinese visitors enjoying what Sydney has to offer with a bonus of a Harley ride. Should I mention the rain?
Still in the double demerit points weekend and there is a Tourist Job on.
Let's add more fun to the mix. The weather bureau has been forecasting rain. The morning is glorious and you wonder there is no way there will be rain.
Well rain it did, the rain poured and as departure time from home approached, I checked with the organiser. 'Yes, it's still on as they have spent a lot of money of this'. I am told.
Wrap up time. 'Dry as a Bone' 3/4 jacket, Harley wet weather pants (they have a cloth patch where the exhaust pipe might touch), overboots, waterproof gloves and a visor on the open face helmet. Bad choice of helmet but I am awaiting the arrive of the new Sena 20S so the helmets and fittings have be reorganised. The helmet choice was only mistake when the rain blew under the visor, past my glasses and into my eyes. I never knew rain went around corners but now I do.
So here are so pictures and video from the night.
