We rode around Sydney to get photos of us and the bikes. We got some video of us riding over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The first thing that you should know is that the road s unbelievably rough it’s like you’re driving on corrugation, but let’s face it if you’re going to ride your Harley in Sydney it’s something you need to do. The photo in front of the Opera House was funny because we had to get permission from the AFP, but once again but they were happy to oblige they even took the photo for us. And to cap it of the Bikes on Bondi.
We then headed to Trivett Harley for my new front tyre, but as usual nothing had gone quite to plan. The tyre had not arrived, so I waited around whilst Alan caught up with some friends in Sydney. Eventually the tyre did arrive, boy was I relieved!!! I couldn’t stand the crap I would get if it didn’t get done. The best thing about getting my bike tyre fitted at Trivett was that they also cleaned my bike and boy did my bike need it.
I rode to Parramatta and it was the most painful experience I have ever had, it took about an hour and it’s only about a 13Klm’s drive. Now most people that know me, know that on a bike I don’t believe in traffic jams, I lane split all the time!!! But in Sydney it’s almost impossible given the lanes are very, very narrow…
I met Alan at MCAS in Parramatta, I can guarantee that MCAS is the best accessory shop in Australia, it has everything you could possibly imagine and they will ship anywhere in Australia for $8. I bought a new Gear sack as my original one leaked, not bad for one that was over 10 years old. We then went for dinner with George at the café strip in Parramatta, it’s exactly what you would want good food. The biggest surprise for me was the Papua New Guinea team’s singing at the Café across the road.
When we finished dinner we rode back to Sydney at night, I love riding at night as it’s a completely different feeling. Having said that Alan and I rode down the bumpiest road I have ridden on, I thought that there was something wrong with my bike at first!!! But then realized it was the concrete road, it was literally like riding on corrugated metal.
Tip of the day.
If you want bike stuff check out MCAS
