Beachside Moto Club (BMC), founded in 2021, is a community focused Motorcycle Club based out of Santa Monica. Built up of 20 team members, BMC hosts monthly Saturday group motorcycle rides ranging from 100-150 motorcyclists. The experience begins at a local mom and pop coffee shop where riders can socialize with friends and meet new riders. Following that comes the parade ride which ends at a different local establishment each month, providing a fun atmosphere for all the riders to celebrate over lunch. The BMC experience offers a diverse and inclusive community of motorcyclists which makes it a friendly social environment for riders to find camaraderie.

Adam Plax

Co-Founder of BMC

Adam Plax, 27, currently resides in Culver City, CA and is a High School Basketball Coach at Shalhevet High School and a personal basketball youth trainer. On his off time, he manages Beachside Moto Club as the primary event planner, co-host and social media manager. His motorcycle journey started in 2021 at his family home in Kernville. After going on a coastal trip with his father on their motorcycles, he was driven to get more involved in the motorcycle community. After being inspired by events like VVMC Sunday rides, LA Moto Social, and other motorcycle events, he took the leap with Franco to create Beachside Moto Club which has grown beyond expectations. He currently owns a 2020 Triumph T-120 Bud Ekins edition and a 1975 BMW R75/6.
