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.

Overpacking is a common issue for riders, and the art of packing only what you really need is refined through thought, trial and practice. Experience alone won’t teach, unless you consciously recognize what didn’t work well, then imagine and attempt new methods or procedures to improve. This is about reducing all load including weight, bulk and complexity. But before you even start thinking about reducing your load, there’s another key component that you need to consider first.
