We haven't worked out our route yet. If you let me know whereabouts you are in Switzerland, I'll see if we can swing by en-route to Italy.

Cheers

The largest town near to me that you see on a map is probably "ZUG" - it has a large lake attached to it called the "Zugersee". Look dirctly south of Zurich. Be glad to see a fellow Brit Ducatista.

Are you moving back permanently to UK next week - or will you be coming back to the delights of Dübendorf?

ath748 · 12-Jun-2006, 21:58

I am in discussions at to whether to move out here permanently or not....in which case the bike will be coming too! So it might be a possibility at the end of this year.... Mind you, not in the snow!! Keep you posted.

The Swiss have blown up the mountain side and announce that the offending rock face is now safe and so will open the Gottard Motorway to traffic from Friday morning at 5am.

That's good news for bikers as the "over the mountain passes" will be clear of all the recent diverted traffic - so on Friday morning I'm off over the mountains for a short day's dash n fun in northern Italy - the Sud Tiröl and Merano.

Anyone from Blighty coming this way get in contact - I'd be glad to see a UK Ducatisti

Lovely spot Montreux - pity you don't have the bike there as we could meet one grand sunny day in the Wallis
