roads in france
 

planning a trip over to france only 4 days.we are getting the train over anyone done this if any ideas about good bike roads bearing in mind only got 4 days cheers robo

France is full of good roads Robo, keep off the main roads and explore some of the 'D' roads and you won't go far wrong. Most of my favourites are in the hills from Mulhouse on the edge of the Alps or down near the pyrenees-a bit far for a 4 day return trip maybe.

Monty, you are a real connaisseur.

Best roads in France are the whole of the East border of the country. Alsace/Vosges, Jura and Alpes: perfect tarmacs and real corners the whole way long :D

Lovely roads there!

You can easily get there in one day (I've done Reading-Milan in 16 hours :D)

Best get your little tush down here, then!! :D

Have done the following Ducati based roads in Normandy and south...

D748
D999 (watch out my mate wrote his 748 off on that one...emergency services based road too!)
D916

Get the gist?

Wishing you a speedy recovery with the hand, hun.
Nigel got bashed off his bike at the end of April, sadly the SV is a complete write-off, luckily Nigel wasn't, although he is still hurting... :mad: . Still waiting on the outcome re insurance. Would love one of those multistrada thingies, we had a go on a friends, and it makes a great pillion bike :D .... but just can't get to grips with the looks....

Tell Nigel to get well from me.
Jo agree's on the multistrada as a pillion bike-she reckons it is more comfy that the ST. Trouble is the aircooled engine is not really powerful enough for the riding I like to do-hence me ordering the new 1098 powered one-roll on next year. :devil:
