The owners were so nice and helpful and we had a great time on our scooters (we don't have motorcycle licenses). The price was great and we didn't even have to pay for gas. The owners were the nicest people we met in Alaska so far!

Rick and Merri are wonderful to work with - very down-to-earth and flexible. Shop is just a short walk from the dock. Paperwork is done quickly. They provide any gear you need and took their bag off the back so we could use our backpack. We were there on a sunny day and it was great! They ask you not... More

My wife and I were on a cruise and wanted to rent a bike to take an "off the beaten path" tour of the area around Ketchikan, but were at first hesitant because of the weather. After an hour or so of strolling around the town, we decided to go for it. The proprietors of Panhandle Motorcycle Adventures were fantastic.... More

Thank you so much for the great review. I am so glad that you decided to go for a mootorcycle ride in spite of the rain. Most riders don't ride in the rain on purpose but, here in the Tongass National Forrest we do. Our area is still awesome rain or shine. Thank you again. More

My husband and I stopped in on the last minute chance we could rent a couple of motorcycles. Rick was very nice and did everything to make it happen even though it was late afternoon. We then mentioned we would also like to get out on a float plane but thought we just didn't have the time. Rick was great... More

The afternoon on a Harley Davidson softtail in Ketchikan was awesome. I booked this ride as a surprise for my husband. Merri at Panhandle was really helpful and answered all my questions. Our guide was great. We saw things off the beaten path, an eagle sitting on a tree branch just over the road, a waterfall with salmon swimming upstream... More

On a recent Alaskan cruise, as we docked portside in Ketchikan and looked over our balcony to the shore, very surprised to see "Motorcycles for Rent" sign for the Panhandle motorcycle adventures. Rearranged our plans for the day and had an awesome time on the bike, very accommodating customer service, softtail Harley was in prime condition and I had an... More

These folks are wonderful! They are located very close to the pier, have swell motorcycles and a really nice shop. Mary gave us great directions and of course the scenery was delightful. I recommend Panhandle Motorcycle Adventures and had a really great time.

got off the cruise ship, headed right to the motorcycle rental, hopped on a bike and we were off! Great way to see Ketchikan when you are sick of the usual tour bus/train. Good way to get out of town and see as much as you can in a day. We rented for the whole day by ourselves. Rick is... More

These are nice bikes and a lot of fun. There's not a whole lot of road here, but its a good way to see what there is. My only regret is not negotiating a lower price!

Saw previous reviews on-line before we left for our Alaska Cruise. When we arrived in Ketchikan (on 8/17/2012) the weather was perfect, so I got off the ship as soon as we docked and walked the short 5 minutes to Panhandle. Less than 20 minutes from having walked off the ship, with no previous reservation or contact, I was cruising... More
