Troll Tours www.trolltours.com.au organised a ride for a Chinese group to travel from Watsons Bay to the Shangri-la Hotel via the North Head Lookout. Not quite a straight line. Just to make it more interesting the weatherman said it was going to rain.
I prepared 'Show pony' and put the Oilskin Coat which normally wards off the rain weather.
Once underway I travel to meet Kym of Trike Trips enroute and go to Watson's Bay for the pick up.
Kym has his Trike back on the road and this will be its first outing after the stick went through the radiator. We are travelling well but at Bondi Junction, Kym advises the trike is not running properly. No power under throttle so he stops to phone Trevor at Troll Tours and advises he is not going to make it. As I still have to be there, I leave Kym to phone for a Tow Truck which I later discover he does and bad fuel was the cause of the problem.
An easy pick up and we are soon on our way.
The plan is to go to North Head for the view but that is a plan B which is Tania Park at Balgowlah Heights.
With the rain and the traffic Plan B is activated and so we find ourselves at Tania Park which are where the follow pictures were taken. Sorry no scenery shots today due the weather and I am sure you do not want to look at low lying clouds.
After the pictures and quick explanation of the scenery and Sydney Harbour from this vantage point and through the rain, we mount up and return to the road and their hotel, The Shangri-la Sydney.

Equipment:
2005 Harley Davidson Deluxe AKA Show Pony or Silver depending on the situation.
Samsung Galaxy S5
Water from the sky aka Rain.
