But if you're touring... don't you want the windy mountain roads? And the little towns, where no one cares if you camp for a day? It feels like the kind of thing that could disappear during my lifetime.

Clothes repairs are pretty straightforward, but altering for fit is a tricky business. In your case, going smaller/removing material/kind of going size L -> size M is doable. And stuff that is more luggage/upholstery oriented is even easier, because it's fixed to a rigid frame, not a dynamic body.
