Hmmm...it's a bit dead in here, isn't it?
Maybe we should hold a séance?

Mags - just plotting Day 2 in the ole Zumo 099. It used to be a 660 till I mounted it incorrectly...
Anyhow, I can follow your Goggle map almost perfectly, except for a couple of places that may indicate a one-way system. Or me being cack-handed. Nothing to worry about, either way, really, as I still get 153 miles, same as you.
I'll post the file(s) here if anyone wants them for reference purposes.
Quick question, mein hairy - is the E62 a motorway? In any event, do we HAVE to buy the vignette things when we enter Swissland, even if we don't use motorways?

i haven't really been paying attention to these threads as i thought they were just about routes.
as i am firmly in the "let the local man be my guide" camp i have largely ignored them. so just to recap for the idle feckers whispering at the back of the class, do i have to decide anything here, or can i go back to reading the NME behind my desk?

In the earlier days, yes, there was a debate about where, who, and how we get there, but I think the general view now is for Magnum to get an idea of preferences of where we all want to kip, so he can book it for us.

Right folks I've taken into account everyone's preference for rooms at the Hotel Alfa and I'm pleased to say the rooms are now booked 
I told the hotel what everyone wanted room-wise and this is how the Hotel can accommodate those that are staying there.

You can fight eachother for rooms but I told them what you wanted and this is the best fitHotel Alfa said:

Made me larrff that did mate
I was wondering why you kept going in the opposite direction to every one else last time we were out
Aye, the E62 is a motorway, but only heretics and those with limp wrists will be using them on this tour
You can buy the Motorway vignette at all border crossings for CHF45 but you do not have to buy one unless you intend using the motorway network. We obviously use motorways whilst living here and I've never been asked for mine. You are supposed to fix them to your vehicle, even on bikes, but nobody does. I just keep mine in my wallet.
Incidentally everyone in Switzerland is expected to carry their registration document - Carte Grise - with them at all times. This is the equivalent of your registration document but also lists Insurance details too. You are also expected to have your driving licence and don't forget your Green Card insurance document.
So in summary these are the documents I recommend everyone brings :-
Driving Licence
Registration Document
Insurance Certificate
Green Card Insurance Certificate
Motorway Vignette (if required)
There was a choice of accommodation for this overnight stop so it would be useful for everyone to at least decide this aspect of the trip. Most are staying in the Value option so I've put you and your Mrs in there mate
If I don't hear from anyone I'll put them in the value option (if there is a choice) and assume there are no objections to my proposed route

Erm...I think part of your route is using the E62 - between Gampel (ish) and Visp? Or is that just a mapping thing?
Oh...meant to say...I'm pretty sure I was snapped by a Talivan at more than 40% over a 60mph speed limit last Friday, in the car.
That'll be a ban, then.
We are both right mon ami. The road east of Sierre to Visp is the E62 and it isn't a motorway. It is a motorway west of Sierre. Confusing innitErm...I think part of your route is using the E62 - between Gampel (ish) and Visp? Or is that just a mapping thing?

Don't get banned Yoy, otherwise we'll have to forge you a new set of documents. Can you still ride one of these without a licence?

Fingers' crossed.
Not had a NIP or Summons, yet, but there's still time.
Not proud or clever, but it was great conditions, lovely day, no traffic, sweeping bends, in the groove, etc etc.
