MMM, might be up for that!
I live in Germany and the UK, and my partner and I love the Rhine/Mosel area.
We are already going to the Thunderace Treffen (meeting) in the Westerwald in May, the V Strom Treffen probably in August, location unknown, and doing the Alps and Dolomites as a holiday trip.
Don't see a reason why we couldn't squeeze another few days ! assuming of course the TDM is up and running by then.
RTT07 - Ruppertshofen, Rhine Valley, Germany.

Is there any camping available?
Is there a tent camping around? Can`t plan that far in advance. Tents need no planning...
I`d love to get down there. But hard to tell. I`ll try to make it a long weekend perhaps.
If thing goes according to plan, I`ll move into my new flat 1.July.
Anyone else from up-north going?

Sounds interesting. Depending on finance and possibility of days off there's a very big probability of me being there. Might also lure some other biker friends with me, non TDM though (good oppurtunity for converting I guess).
Spent a couple of trips around the Mosel Valley but not this much south and inland yet, it explains the Swiss interest though

Wednesday to Wednesday does seem a bit of a weird one.
Won't know until much nearer the time if I can go or not. I would be camping. Is there camping on the site you are thinking of using, or would it be at a different location?
