Any bikers in Alsace/Lorraine?

[Bob W.]

Was wondering if anyone ever heads to or lives in the area?

First biking season there and the roads are fantastic. Will also shortly be checking out the track day options at Anneau du Rhin near Colmar.

Keeping the bike on its German registration as it makes 152bhp.....as I live and work over the border in Germany during the week I don't think I am doing anything illegal as I am technically just visiting.

Cheers

Agreed, the roads in the Vosges are particularly good.  We've camped near Gerardmer on occasions and toured the area, Ballons, route des Cretes.  Always nice to take a trip across the Rhine and up the thumpity thump autobahn to Freiburg.  Beautiful city, great shops, nice market.

OK Bob, you have us guessing. 152 bhp, my first guess is a BMW K1200GT. Am I close?

Nah, Bob's got his numbers mixed up - it's a 125, innit.....?[;-)]

Ducati 998s modified for track with 54mm pipes, ECU, airbox and and intakes - dyno'd at 152 at the rear wheel.

I have a collection of exhausts etc to let me do road outings, and a very friendly TUV (German MOT) guy
