A Harley Ride is like a Lick of the Ice-cream. Once you have done it, only then will you understand why you needed to come out for a Harley Ride with us . Listen to what Charli, the host on Getaway chatted with John about on the ride they took for the episode which went to air recently.
The Dream is to share an experience which will change the way people see Melbourne, and perhaps their life, differently after experiencing a Harley Ride - Taking people out of their comfort zones - making them realize that all they know about mototcycles are but Myths!

Where do our Customers come from?
Our customers come from all over the world to take a Harley Ride Experience with us. It constantly amazes us how diverse that group can become. Last month we were fortunate to have been chosen by a corporate group from Shanghai China, here for an Incentive/Reward trip to take their staff out for a group ride.
As you can see from the reactions captured in the video, they had a great time. That's pretty standard fare whenever we take anyone out for a Harley Ride.

The Problem with TripAdvisor - Don't Get Fooled
Here at HD Chauffeur Ride Pty Ltdwww.harleyrides.com we have a TripAdvisor rating that would be the envy of any other tour company. But, lately I have noticed an anomaly that doesn't seem to sit quite comfortably with the TripAdvisor philosophy of recommending the "right" to the "best quality" attraction.
Take a close look at this and you will see what I mean:
To my great shock, I recently noticed that there seated in the middle of my TripAdvisor page is a Google Ad that takes the reader straight to my nearest competitor. I am left to wonder how much business I am losing because someone clicks on this link, thinking that its my company they will be booking with.

| TripAdvisor Ad |
I have nothing to do with Adrenaline. We do know something about the company who supplies Harley Rides for them - but its not our company and we know that they don't have a TripAdvisor rating.
So, don't be fooled by the ads you see on TripAdvisor. They are not endorsed by them, they are chosen by Google. The quality of the companies in these ads isn't measured by TripAdvisor - but TripAdvisor do get paid every time someone clicks on one of these ads.
Just a thought that we would let you know about :)
And who are Adrenaline? What is their Trip Advisor Rating? I found this example on Trip Advisor, who have a terrible rating for one of their product listings:

And it would seem that HD Chauffeur Ride are not the only victims, as can bee seen in this example. I checked to see if there was a relationship between Peek Tours and Tours to Go - and there is none:

We now Produce a Video for most of our customers.
Recording the joyful looks on the faces of our customers has become much easier over the last few years, with the advent of modern technology. And, we can proudly say that we are the only Harley Ride company in Melbourne who provide this service.
Only, this past weekend we filmed three girls we took out for a sidecar ride.
The previous Friday it was a group from Singapore - here for the Longest Lunch - sponsored by Tourism Australia.
And the previous weekend it was another person we took for a ride down the Great Ocean Road to the 12 Apostles.
And one more when we took two out for a ride around the City.
Yes, we now have a large collection of videos, and will be adding another to the collection this coming Saturday when we take a 75 year old girl down the Great Ocean Road to Apollo Bay. She is ticking off things on her Bucket List.

Not All Operators Are The Same Quality
Not all Harley Ride operators in Melbourne are the same and we take pride in being the trend setter in the industry. It may surprise people to know that our industry is very small, and that we all tend to work together.
But, there is one the operator in the Melbourne Harley Ride Industry who has been used by us on one of our group rides in the past. BUT, that was in the past, I now no longer use him because he doesn't come up to the high standard my company has become known for.
Only this past week he was involved in an accident that appears to have led to his motorcycle being written off. On a job he attended in December 2014 he was seen arriving with two dogs in his sidecar, which then remained in the sidecar while his passenger sat on the back of his bike for a group ride out to a local Yarra Valley winery. Recently one of our customers, who had been out on a ride with this other operator told us about a frightening experience they had with him, when the axle nut on his bikes rear wheel fell off, and they almost had a serious accident. Shen chose not to come out with him for her next ride. We were not surprised.......
There are a number of Internet Agents Sites for whom this other operator is a supplier. These site supply a wide range of adventure activities. It may interest anyone reading this to know that none of these agents do quality or safety checks on their product suppliers.
Our business is about "making people happy". If I was in it for the money, then I certainly wouldn't be doing it. Motorcycles are my passion and sharing that experience with our customers is why I am in business. All the riders I use service and maintain their machines to the highest standards. Safety is the priority.
Examples of the type of Internet Agent sites are Red Balloon, Adrenalin and Experience Oz (this last company were the ones who used my Harley Ride images without my permission last year).
Here are some images from some of our recent rides, where we put a huge smile on their faces.
The standard that we apply is that all the bikes we use are regularly maintained and serviced by Authorised Harley Davidson mechanics. The individual in question services his bike by himself and he is not a Harley Davidson qualified mechanic. Next time you are comparing products on the internet, ask yourself, "Does the low price equal quality?" You get what you pay for - if it is cheap then there is normally a very good reason why.
