Host: MIKE WHITNEY
We all know that escaping for a weekend away is one of life’s greatest pleasures, and it starts with that long drive to your chosen hideaway.
But instead of driving, why not be driven? – on the back of a Harley!
Yep, Mike’s strapping on his helmet and hitting the open roads on a Harley Tour … and at the end of the road is a secluded hinterland hideaway that’s prefect for recharging the batteries!
Wild Ride – Harley Tour
Wild Ride Australia is one of the most popular Harley and Motorcycle Tour companies in Sydney and the Blue Mountains. Their chauffeured tours are a great way to see Sydney and it’s surrounds from a whole new angle. Prices start from $99 per person.
There’s a massive range of locations and tour types to choose from. Whether you prefer Katoomba and the Blue Mountains or the North Coast of Sydney, Wild Ride is sure to have a tour that’ll hit the spot.
Rides can also be organised with just a few hours notice. You don’t need any experience - Wild Ride will provide a helmet and they’ll look after you.
If you’re not ready for a 2 wheeler experience then why not do the Harley trike tour instead? It’s just as much!
The Sydney to Terrigal Harley tour starts with a pick up from Sydney city.
You’ll then head north over the Sydney Harbour Bridge along the Pacific Highway before turning onto the F3 Freeway.
Then Wild Ride will open up the Harley and thunder along at 110kph in most parts up to Brooklyn on the Hawkesbury River. Stop for a break and some photos before heading north at a more relaxed pace along the scenic Pacific Highway. Then you’ll stop at Pie in the Sky (famous for its pies) to have a snack and a drink. Then it’s back on the bike and onto the F3 for the ride to Terrigal.
The tour lasts about 1.5 hours and is $150 for one person. Three or more people is $135 per person. Just mention Sydney Weekender when you book.
