In January this year, the local governor of the Haut-Rhin called for a ban on motorcycles riding the Alps in his area. The ban was supposed to be for the weekends only and would forbid motorcycles from riding the twisting roads to the mountain peaks.

This brought a very loud outcry, not only by motorcycle riders all over Europe, but also from the biker rights lobby groups like the FFMC. Since this goes against the freedom of movement, a fundamental human right in Europe, the local government quickly caved in and stated that this is a non-issue.

I am sure the hotels and camp sites wouldn't have been too pleased either. What's the matter with these people:censor:

Looking forward to being back in the Alps in June:cool:
