Ferry information:
Western ferries Between Hunter's Quay (Dunoon) & McInroy's Point (Gourock) Every 20 mins, £3.50 per motorcycle, need to confirm if this includes rider but dont think so. £3.50 per passanger. Calmac ferries, Dunoon - Gourock. 1 per hour (10 to the hour) £4.10 per m/c + £2.90 PP = £7 Ive emailed both companies asking how many bikes they can transport and any chance of a discount (worth a try) i'll let you know when they reply. |

I've now got almost all the bits I need to get the bike back on the road, assuming the forks are OK and they've only turned in the yokes and there nothing broken inside the bikini fairing that I can't see.
![]() I'd really love to come on this as it would be my last rideout with SV Ecosse before I move down to England permanently on the 1st March. I'm back home the week before the rideout, every evening will be dedicated to bike fixing! |

In words - 1. South out of Largs on the main A78 Greenock road for a mile or so to turn off for A760 Kilbirnie Road Must mark this junction!! 2. 9 miles of deserted country road to downtown Kilbirnie. Right at first wee roundabout, then third exit at next wee roundabout onto B780 signposted Dalry/Irvine. Must mark these junctions!! 3. What shall we say, half a mile or so, bear left onto B777 Beith road. Must mark this junction!! 4. Coupla miles to the main road - A737 - outside Beith, the Manrahead Roundabout. Second exit onto the A737 signposted Paisley/Glasgow. Must mark this junction!! 5. Pay attention! Else you'll end up in Paisley and we don't want that. Just under a mile it's right turn off the A737 back onto the B777, signposted Gateside/Lugton. Must mark this junction!! 6. 4 miles of B Class racetrack into the beating heart of metropolitan Lugton. Left onto the A736 signposted Glasgow. Must mark this junction!! 7. Last 6 miles of giving it the business. After entering Barrhead and before the Main Street roundabout, disused (I think) petrol station just after Tesco - Regroup. Don't want anybody getting lost in Barrhead, you haven't got the form. 8. Follow-me-I-know-the-way over a couple of roundabouts, signposted Glasgow A736, mile or so outside Barrhead, The Tobey Carvery Hurlet. Presto! Prestoni! Half a shandy all round. So it's follow the signs for Kilbirnie, Dalry, Paisley, Lugton, and Glasgow. In that order. Any questions? Last edited by Tiger 55; 13-02-09 at 05:58 PM. |
