Fear is a natural part of adventure motorcycling, but how we handle it can make all the difference. In this episode of RAW, the panel digs into the fears many riders face—riding solo, tackling tough terrain, getting lost, dealing with mechanical issues and more—and how to manage them. We’ll talk about when fear protects you versus when it holds you back, how to build confidence through training and preparation, and the mental tricks that help in the moment. Whether you're a seasoned rider or just starting your adventure travel journey, this conversation is packed with insights to help you push past doubt and ride with more confidence.

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