Electra Glide® Down Under


Mission Statement:- Electra Glide Down Under comprises a team not particularly committed to ongoing customer satisfaction, nor are we interested in providing quality, value for money, products and services. We can’t say we’re all that determined to ensure success for stakeholders, promising to deliver profitability, growth, job fulfilment, nor have a positive impact on the community with an emphasis on peace, unity and human rights, whilst remaining environmentally and socially conscious. While we think of it let's throw in a couple more expressions like bench-marking and world’s best practice; whatever the hell that means. We can’t believe you took the time to read this Mission Statement, but it makes us feel responsible, warm and fuzzy to know we have one.

Corporate Plan:- We never really thought about having one (the above-mentioned just about sums it up). Do you know there are organisations out there, in the private and public sector alike, who actually pay people to write crap like this?
 

Welcome, this website is dedicated to Harley-Davidson Electra Glide touring of Australia's highways and country back-roads, including details of Aussie adventurers worldwide and a look at FLH's around the globe.  For those visitors uninitiated to Harley-Davidson folklore, the FLH is the chassis series the Milwaukee factory have based their big tourers on for over 40 years now.  If your choice of touring machine is the mighty Electra Glide, Tour Glide, Road Glide or Road King then enter the website and travel Australia with us.  The site has grown from an idea of introducing Australia to the motorcycle touring world and showing you why you should seriously consider touring Down Under.  It has often been said that Australia has the best roads, spectacular scenery, perfect weather and friendliest inhabitants.

I welcome contact with any thoughts or suggestions for the site, or for any particular pics or stories you may have for Electra Glide Down Under website.  Please leave a message in the Guest Book and I'll get back to you.  I once had my email address on the website for contacting me directly; unfortunately the insidious bulk email advertising spamming cretins put an end to that.

WEBSITE ENDORSEMENTS

Local thespian and football team owner Mr Russell Crowe of the NSW North Coast remarked "I've always relied on the FLH when it comes to the Harley range and, as a matter of fact, I own about a dozen of them.  Look, I don't mind the job you've done on the website boys, but it's a pity it took a pair of bloody limp-wristed, poodle-walking, blouse-wearing shandy-drinkers to put it together!"

Mayor of Dululu (2001): "Our local community had become a ship of lost souls, adrift in a sea of despair, unemployment and human hopelessness.  Then Paul passed through our little town on his 2001 Queensland Goodwill Tour and made Dululu a social inspiration and symbol of hope in rural Australia.  Do Lulu… get it?"

International supermodel Ms Elle MacPherson (2007) stated, "I love the website and your choice of colours.  Make mine an FLH has got to be one of my favourite expressions, Paul.  I'll catch up next time in Wauchope; still at the same address?"

When recently interviewed by the Wauchope Bugle a Ms Pamela Anderson of Los Angeles commented, "My life was on a constant downward spiral - staying up late, drinking gin, smoking cigarettes and dancing.  Then Paul and the Electra Glide Down Under team took me under their wing, changed all that and made me the success I am today."

Academy award winning actress Ms Nicole Kidman - Sydney (2006), "You know, when Tom and I were together he'd never buy me a Harley FLH; a bit too rugged he said.  Paul, I think that's why I've always been attracted to both you and your lifestyle."

Recording artists and June Dally-Watkins graduates Ms Kylie & Ms Dannii Minogue - London (2007): "You know, our lives were so quiet, so mundane, excruciatingly boring.  Then someone suggested we send away for the Electra Glide Down Under Prepacked Highway Touring and Party Kit ($149.95 at selected outlets).  Our Saturday nights now last all week and we're never alone.  Thanks Paul, thanks Colonel."
