Hi ya,
yep, I know Basel. Last time we stopped in Bad Sackingen just east of there (not an overly nice place but the other lads enjoyed having the penthouse suite in the hotel
)
If you've not ventured out too far, get up past Mulhouse, and find the D431 toward Gerardmer. Its the road up over the Grand Balon. It might have a lot of overbanding on it but it is a cracking road. Pretty much all of the D roads around that area are good.
The other road I mentioned is north west of Todtnau. It is apparently closed to motorbikes at the weekend as it is so good/popular
I guess it really depends on what types of roads you like. We look for the twisties (more technical) with the occasional high speed stuff. The 500 is defo high speed stuff, 120+mph sweeping bends in places
Last time a guy on a Yam XJ was lifting his inside foot so his footpeg could fold up to give a bit more clearance
I'm getting excited just thinking about it. Only 4 weeks to go
I'll look out where we are staying and let you know via a pm with my mobile number.
There is a group of about 10 of us, and the hotels are already booked apparently (i'm not organising this trip).
Cheers,
John.

I know the road you mean I think. Runs from near Schonau down to Todmoos. We did that one last time over, and will be doing it again this triplengster1 wrote:John w

That road sounds interesting. You'll have to let me know which one it isdo mulhouse/colmar etc regular,there is a belter round there and on a friday night the locals keep of the road its a bike night,should have about 10 lads over here by then aswell.oh i cant wait.whats the 500?
We've stayed in Colmar and done a lot of the roads around that area too.
Actually done far more over that side of the river than in the forest.
The B500. Runs from Waldshut up to Baden Baden. In a couple of places its number changes, but if you have a look at the map it is easy to figure out.

Just a humble plumber? You picked the right job! If Pimlico Plumbers are anything to go by, I've never seen such a collection of private plates that are on their vans. "Loo 1" "Bog 1" "A 8OILER" have all been round to my place.
