From 1970 onwards he devoted over four decades to documenting motorcycle journeys around the world, personally visiting the most celebrated motorcycle travellers in Denmark (1991), Britain (1993), the United States (1994) and Australia (1999-2000). He compiled the world's largest database of round-the-world motorcycle journeys, covering over 249 documented expeditions from 1912 to 2014. He founded the Globetrott-Zentrale in Simmerath-Hammer, Eifel, Germany, which served as a reference point and community hub for generations of long-distance motorcyclists worldwide. He organised the annual Tesch Travel Treffen from 1977 onwards, a yearly gathering of motorcycle world travellers. He developed the Tesch aluminium panniers, which became standard equipment for long-distance motorcycle expeditions. He gave 45 survival courses for travellers and managers in the Eifel forest between 1978 and the 2010s. He authored numerous books on motorcycle travel and published an extensive library of over 185 motorcycle travel titles
