This isn't some catered-lunch-my-martini-is-too-dry vacation. You are an active participant in an adventure that can never be replicated. Your day-to-day decisions make your trip different than anyone who has been on this trip before you. With over 200 of these tours under his belt, Rob knows the secret roads that the others don't, that even hide from the locals.
Travel, computers, trails riding, good food, friends, darts, listening to music, good beer, curves, finding the line, and whatever is just around the corner. In the short time that Luke Doggerty travelled with us he made hundreds of friends around the world. It was an unexpected shock to us all.
Luke was his usually bouncy and happy self up to the day before his spleen burst, never exhibited any distress, and passed peacefully in Rob & Gretchen's arms on the lawn of the vet in Switzerland surrounded by beautiful mountains.Thank you, Luke, for bringing so many smiles to us all!

Rob & Gretchen Beach have the opportunity to travel where they please, and the place they keep coming back to, with enthusiasm and energy, is Europe. The Classic Alpine Adventure covers an area of the Alps that has been the core of tours with Beach's Motorcycle Adventures since the beginning, in the 1970s.
When one thinks of stunning views of the sea, few places in the world outshine Sicily and the Amalfi coast. Italy's coastal mountains and limited space require devilishly serpentine roads. Combine this with a Mediterranean climate and you have a locale that is simply perfect for a motorcycle ride. Join us in discovering this beauty on the Sicilian Sojourn, a magical tour beginning outside Rome, appropriately, with a night in a castle.
Learn a lot! Ken Condon, master riding instructor with Riding in the Zone, is on tour as resident riding coach. The Island Interlude is French and Italian cultures and Mediterranean sunshine packaged into two glorious weeks of motorcycle riding pleasure! Beginning and ending in the Tuscan hills, the Island Interlude is a unique adventure spanning a variety of cultures, terrain, and history.

Great BMW motorcycles, breathtaking roads & scenery, awesome owners of the best motorcycle adventure tours you can imagine. Rob & Gretchen Beach are true professionals and adventure tourers who deliver more than your expectations and fulfill your fondest dreams.
I joined them on their Alpine Adventure West tour (Aug. 2019) and road the Alps in Switzerland, France, and Italy - truly an unforgettable experience.
