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.

On this episode of RAW, we will discuss getting second chances for our past trips and riding in areas with heavy traffic and large vehicles. Given what you now know, is there a trip or part of a trip you’ve taken that you would do differently if given the chance? If so, what changes would you make and why? Furthermore, riding dynamics change significantly in areas where the size of vehicles determines the right of way and traffic rules are not strictly followed. In these areas, motorcyclists often find themselves with minimal rights on the roads, which influences how they ride.
