While remoteness is a big part of the attraction to this end of the earth island – not everyone has the time on their hands to BYO bike which involves getting to Melbourne and then a 10 hour one way ferry across the Bass Strait. Solution? Southern Riders Tasmania. We’ll have you FIFO Har- ley-ing as you soon as you hop off the plane. We picked the Harleys best suited to the terrain – the Road Glide Special, Heritage Classic 114 and Sports Glide. All with the Milwaukee 8 engine, with plenty of power to get you up the long mountain passes and shorter hillside twistys even when riding two up with a week’s worth of luggage. Adjustable mono-shock suspension provides re- duced vibrations transferring from the engine through to the new stiffer softail frame adding greater comfort and manoeuvrability. Plus – perhaps most importantly, you get the cool factor, and Instagram snaps to impress. Local Tasmanians renting latest model Harleys and giv- ing our tips on the best rides, pit stops and hidden gems. What are you waiting for?
