I will, and I'd sooner do it there than in Switzerland, but I'd restrict my journey to autobahns where possible as a means of getting across the country to somewhere further east (where they probably still report you to plod but you can bribe your way out of trouble at a more reasonable rate) -- ogden | gsxr1000 | rgv250

I'll check out some interesting > places if TOG hands over the reins to Colin. I've considered Belgium and Holland in the past, the difficulty being the distance from home in the time available. Plus the factor that, while 200 miles in the rain is a PITA, 400 miles is worse. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Triumph Street Triple Honda CB400F Suzuki TS250 Suzuki GN250 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools
