For Marcio Pizanelli, motorcycles have never simply been a hobby — they have been a way of life. Marcio has been riding since the age of four, and over the years his passion took him into motocross, enduro, rally racing, and road racing in the United States.
But beyond competition, motorcycles gave him something even greater: a way to explore the world. Travel and motorcycles have always gone hand in hand for Marcio — the freedom of discovering a new road, experiencing a different culture, and sharing those moments with other riders eventually became the foundation of what Just Ride Motorcycle is today.
Marcio started organizing motorcycle trips for a small group of friends. One trip led to another. Friends invited friends, the groups became larger, and what started as casual weekend rides grew into day trips, monthly adventures, and international journeys lasting 10 days or more — sometimes bringing together groups of 20, 25, or even 30 riders.
It became clear that people weren't simply looking for another motorcycle ride. They were looking for an experience.
In 2018, Marcio transformed that passion into Just Ride Motorcycle, creating a professional motorcycle touring company built around the same philosophy that started everything: bring great people together, discover incredible places, and take care of the details so riders can truly enjoy the journey.
Today, Just Ride creates motorcycle experiences throughout North America, South America, Europe, Morocco, and destinations around the world. Every route is designed around more than simply getting from one destination to another — we search for unforgettable roads, breathtaking landscapes, local culture, great food, and places riders may never have discovered on their own.
Because for us, traveling by motorcycle isn't about how many miles you ride. It's about the people you meet, the places you discover, and the stories you bring home.
Five principles that shape every trip we run, from a five-day loop to an eleven-day international crossing.
We route toward the roads worth riding — mountain passes, desert crossings, coastal curves — not tourist loops.
What started as a group of friends riding together has grown into a worldwide community of riders. Many return trip after trip, together.
A support truck and an on-call mechanic travel with every group. Gear, fuel stops, and logistics are handled.
Every road is pre-ridden and timed by our own team before it goes on the calendar. No surprises, no filler miles.
Every guide, mechanic, and driver on our team rides for the same reason you do — this isn't a job for people who don't love it.
When you travel with Just Ride, you're not joining a traditional tour group. You're becoming part of a riding community.
Every stop is scouted and booked in advance, from the first mile to the last night's hotel.
Bring your own bike or ride one of ours — either way, the transport and support are handled.
A support vehicle and guide travel with you the entire way, handling anything that comes up.
Photos and videos along the route, so you can ride the moment and still bring the story home.
Ride together. Explore the world. Create memories that last a lifetime.
Marcio plans and rides every tour route himself, and is on the road with your group from the first mile to the last — reading weather, calling route changes, and handling anything that comes up so you don't have to.
