Travelling can sometimes be challenging when finding necessities, especially in foreign countries where options may differ from what you are used to or might not be easily available. Common concerns include finding food you enjoy and managing allergies. Another important aspect of motorcycle travel is ensuring quality fuel, maintaining oil and filters, and dealing with tire issues. In this episode of RAW, the panel discusses how to source supplies and manage mechanical needs while on the road.

Breakdowns and visa expiry? What would you do if you were on your way out of a country, with your Visa and Temporary Import Permit expiring in a few days, if you broke down and couldn’t leave with your bike? If your visa and TIP can’t be extended, what would you do?
