Risk
- Randy Komisar
“And then there is the most dangerous risk of all—the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.”
Travel
- Ibn Battuta
“Traveling—it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.”

Freedom

Beach's Motorcycle Adventures, Ltd.

We Turn Dreams Into Memories

Owned and operated by Rob & Gretchen Beach, Beach's Motorcycle Adventures is a specialized boutique agency that—since 1972—has been creating and conducting remarkable motorcycle riding and driving adventures in countries throughout the world.

Rob & Gretchen personally guide most of Beach's tours, pursuing their passion for travel and motorcycling on a day-to-day basis.

In 2018 Rob Beach completed his 200th tour.

 


Why travel with the Beachs?

Fully supported—guide optional—tours

Each and every Beach tour features a guide on a motorcycle, and a support driver in the luggage van. On most European tours the guide duty falls to Rob & Gretchen Beach, the masters of Alpine motorcycle touring.

Ride with the guide daily, if you like. The pro is there at your service! And if you don't, the Beachs—more than any tour company out there—have worked hard to gather and present you with information, routes, points of interest, and other details so you may head off on your own, riding the route of your choice on your own schedule. Enjoy the ride your way.

The folk at Beach's don't dictate, but encourage. They don't lead, but advise.

Riding BMWs since 1969

Amazing motorcycles, brilliant tours. They go hand in hand.

For all these years the Beachs have been riding BMW motorcycles. With all of the new, remarkably varied, and interesting models in today's BMW lineup, that has proven to be a wise decision.

Our guides love the itineraries

... and we know you will too! Everyone at Beach's Motorcycle Adventures has a passion for traveling in Europe because it really is the best place to ride motorcycles. Sport-bike riders love the curves and challenges, touring riders revel in the scenery and enjoy the amenities. Everyone is awestruck by the mountains!

The routes and itineraries presented by the Beachs are through the best riding areas in the world. The Alps are their speciality—for 49 years Beach's Motorcycle Adventures has been associated with Alpine Adventures.

The World's oldest motorcycle tour company

... and a family-owned and operated business to boot! Rob is second-generation. Bob & Elizabeth Beach conducted the Beach's first tour of Europe in 1972.

Since that time they have operated from the same location. You are generally touring with the CEO.

Rob Beach first traveled the Alps as a passenger with his father in 1973, rode his first complete European tour in 1977, conducted his first Alpine Adventure in 1978, and created his first tour—the British Bat— in 1986.

Knowledge comes from study, expertise from experience. Other companies may train their guides, but it takes decades to develop the expertise found on every Beach tour.

50+ years of Alpine experience

It takes time to find "Rob Roads..." and time-and-time again Rob and crew are on the road making sure that it is as good as it was the last time.

Join them for the "Ride of a lifetime."

BMW Motorrad certified guides

Beach's tours feature graduates of the BMW Motorrad International Tourguide Academy.

Wide choice of BMW models

Most models of the BMW motorcycle line are available for your European tour. A ride with Beach's Motorcycle Adventures is a great way to take an extended test ride of a new BMW.

What our Clients Say!

I have ridden with the Beachs for over 20 years and every experience has been superb. Great people, routes, motorcycle, food and accommodations. What else can one say? I would love to ride with them every year.
If you love riding a motorcycle then you love motorcycle people. With the Beach family you get it all. A lifetime experience.

What our Clients Say!

It was the best trip of our lives! We loved every single day and night on our Classic Alpine Adventure. We never laughed so hard. It was surreal thinking we were really in Europe and had adrenaline dripping out of our ears at the gorgeous scenery and those twisty switchbacks that were a blast! Thank you Rob and Gretchen for the memories!

What our Clients Say!

Rob and Gretchen work their tails off, so that all we have to do every day is suit up and enjoy the terrific scenery and cultures. Rob and Gretchen are resourceful and possess a good sense of humor too. I recommend them every chance I get — the experience is wonderful. I’ve been twice and hope to go again in 2019. (He did!)
