Organized touring is about to be banned in South Tyrol, and Italy's motorcycle federation FMI is pushing back — as someone who loves to travel, this news is a little painful. Consideration for congestion and noise is necessary, but uniformly restricting the freedom to ride feels wrong. Beautiful mountain roads are exactly what should be protected through both rules and understanding. I hope a middle ground gets found through dialogue.

This regulation looks like it'll hit hard in areas with a strong group-touring culture, so it doesn't feel like someone else's problem.

FMI reaching out even into politics shows a pretty serious level of pushback.

There's probably a background of a tourist area struggling to balance locals' daily life against visitors.

Banning group touring outright feels like a pretty heavy-handed way to regulate.

Depending on how 'organized' gets defined, this might not even affect solo touring.
