While the FIM has a long history of involvement in the sporting side of motorcycling, FIM also has a long history of activity and support for street and touring riders. They have been active in international gatherings and classic events for many years and in more recent times the Commission for Leisure Motorcycling (CML) has focused some of its attention on providing information to individual riders and groups who want to travel to other countries but lack some key motorcycle-related information they need to facilitate the journey. As a result CML created a website Touring-on-Line or http://www.ridefim.com.

Motor Cycling Ireland, through the all-island MCUI, is the south of Ireland affiliate to the FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme), the world-wide motorcycle sanctioning body based in Geneva, Switzerland.
