Homecoming

This summer (mid-august) I'll be going to Lanarkshire, Scotland for a family reunion. I've never been to Scotland before, spent a long weekend in London last year, and have never ridden outside of the U.S.

How feasible is it to rent a bike (Triumph or otherwise) in the UK? I'll be flying in and out of London, have a week, would love to tour the countryside on two wheels. I've driven on the wrong side of the road before (Japan) but never on a motorbike. I have heard from some of you Brits that London isn't exactly the most friendly place to ride, but how about the rest of the countryside? There must be a reason you all own Triumphs!

Anyhow, it is a long ways off, just thought that if anyone on the other side of the Atlantic was bored this winter they could offer some advice.

Cheers!

I saw your post and did some searching. I have relatives there, too, in Western Scotland (McDonald) and wish I could do the same. The last link had some useful things. Best of luck and enjoy the trip!
