TOPIC:

A discussion about motorcycle travel skills that any rider would benefit from or perhaps really need before leaving on a motorcycle adventure. Also how to be mentally prepared for travel, bureaucracy, change, being out of your comfort zone and adaptability. Understanding what your trip is really about, travel schedule, commitment to a destination or time. All this and more on this month’s RAW.
