Gerold Betzler

Hello, I’m Gerold – founder and tour guide of EXIT TURN, professional model builder and proud family father from Kammeltal in Bavarian Swabia. My passion for motorcycles began in my youth, and to this day I love day trips, weekend excursions and long adventures on two wheels. I am particularly fascinated by planning new routes and discovering unknown places. I look forward to sharing unforgettable motorcycling experiences with you!

Hello, I’m Björn, EXIT TURN – Tour Guide, IT expert and family man from the beautiful Bergstrasse – also known as the “Tuscany of Germany”. My passion for motorcycling has accompanied me since childhood – whether in the Odenwald, the Alps or on tours through southern Germany’s low mountain ranges. I have been guiding tours for EXIT TURN since 2025 and love discovering new places and meeting people who quickly become a close-knit community. For me, motorcycles are more than just machines – they are the key to freedom, adventure and true connection.

Hello, I’m Matthias – tour guide with EXIT TURN.

After many motorcycle tours as a guide for one of the largest tour operators, I consciously decided to take a different path: away from mass production and toward genuine, authentic tours with a personal touch. For me, motorcycle tours are much more than route planning and counting the kilometers: It’s about stories, characterful stopovers, genuine encounters, and the feeling of experiencing something special together. Whether Alpine passes or long-distance journeys – I bring experience, a sense of responsibility, and an eye for detail. And I’m always delighted when a group of strangers becomes a true motorcycle family.

Hi, I’m Joachim. Tour guide with EXIT TURN. I’ve been riding motorcycles for over 30 years now. Whether it’s a quick after-work ride, a weekend at the racetrack, or longer trips abroad. I love riding in the Alps, often in Trentino and at least once a year in Sardinia. I like to explore the area on my bike and avoid the standard routes and destinations. The main thing is curves, scenery, and people. When a beautiful day on the bike follows up with a company of fellows, it’s a perfect day for me. Come ride with us!

Hello, I’m Michael, Tour Guide with EXIT TURN. Since childhood, thanks to my parents, who jointly owned and ran a small travel agency in the Ruhr area, I’ve been immersed in and passionate about travel; since the age of 18, this has also included motorcycling. I’ve meanwhile explored many motorcycle regions in Europe, racking up six-figure kilometers, usually as a tour guide for my fellow riders. Whether it’s day trips or longer multi-day tours, it’s always fun to plan routes and then see that the time invested in planning was worthwhile for the wonderful hours spent on and off the motorcycle. So, I’m looking forward to great tours and enjoyable times with you, and I hope we’ll meet in person soon and have a great time together!

Hello, I’m Thomas, a tour guide with EXIT TURN. The motorcycle shop next to my elementary school infected me with the motorcycle bug early on, and I’ve been a passionate motorcyclist for over 40 years now. I live in Ulm – the Swabian Alps are my second home. From a young age, I planned and led excursions and holiday tours for my friends. Due to its geographical proximity, I spend a lot of time in the Alps, preferably off the beaten track. For the past few years, I’ve been increasingly drawn to the low mountain ranges of France. I’m always thrilled to discover fantastic routes with little traffic. I’d love to take you along on future adventures – true to my motto, “the journey makes us happier than the destination.”
