Feel gutted for you, John. Pot holes and all.
I've spent the last few days in the south of France, Jura mountains and Black Forest. In my CLS55 AMG not on bike. But Mein Gott, the tracks - sorry, roads. Route Napoleon, B500 SchwarzwalderHochStrasse, etc etc. They seem to go on forever. Great very fast open sweepers with amazing sightlines and straightlining. Then 2nd gear 180' hairpins ESP lights flashing on the exit. Zig Zag up and down mountains. Great road surfaces. Horrendous fuel consumption and tyre wear.
Sunday roads in the Black Forest were full of Swiss bikers. One told me that they come and play in Germany as they are just jailbait in Switzerland. Interesting observation: very few fully faired supersports out there. Mainly new(ish) supernakeds like Tuonos and MT10s. Bloody fast guys though.
a ride out yesterday.
Sounds like heaven. I wish we had decent roads out here. It makes you wonder if some of our EU money goes on keeping their roads in tip top condition. I'd better stop now and get off my soap box. 
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.
