Fear can be paralyzing and it can stop you from doing many things including travel. But are those fears legitimate? And what constitutes a RTW trip? Is it the number of miles ridden or how many countries you pass through? On this episode of RAW the panel discusses some of the top fears that motorcyclists may have when it comes to travel and if those fears are justifiable, and what constitutes a RTW motorcycle adventure.

Top Fears of Motorcycle Travel Include:

1. Falling victim to robbery, theft and other scams.

2. Not being able to speak the language.

3. Vulnerability of solo travel.

4. Not having enough money.

5. Falling ill or being involved in an accident.

ARR RAW round-table discussions with motorcycle adventure travellers - featuring Grant Johnson, Sam Manicom, Shirley Hardy-Rix, Brian Rix, Michelle Lamphere and Jim Martin.
