I don't know if its because I do more pleasure riding these days rather than commuting, but I have noticed over the last couple of years that here in Surrey there seems to be a lot more vintage British bikes on the road, some of them beautifully restored. At one of my local bike haunts there are nearly always at least a couple turn up. I wasn't disappointed  yesterday morning when these two showed up.20150822_112223_zps59kuywxc.jpg

I would call then vintage, that's usually  flat tankers, but they are very nice and I do appreciate all bikes

Ferry at Ardrossan will take you to Arran. I think theres a ferry at Loch Ranza will take you to tarbet (loch fyne) then about 30mile down to Campbeltown (although why you want to go there is anybodies guess)

I may see you in the passing then bud
