Motorcycle Podcasts Adventure Rider Radio & RAW
What is the absolute minimum mechanical knowledge you should have before going on an extended trip? And how do you choose a travel mate?
Jim Martin and the co-hosts on ARR RAW talk about what you need to consider when looking for a place to put your head down for the night, and how to handle doing maintenance on your bike when travelling.
The RAW panel focuses on motorcycle travel, covering topics like using trains and ferries, securing bikes, and common problems faced. They also discuss the trend of asking for accommodation and help while traveling, including etiquette and responsibilities for both hosts and guests. They share their top three tools for trips and exchange ideas for tasty pannier lunches.
The discussion covers a few key topics related to motorcycle travel. Firstly, there's the practice of lane splitting and filtering, which is common in many countries but not allowed in the US and Canada. We talk about the safety aspects and how to handle it if you encounter it in other places. Then, we discuss basic repair skills and tools you should have in case of a breakdown, like changing a tire or adjusting the chain. Lastly, we touch on wildlife encounters, including potential dangers and ways to stay safe, like carrying sprays or deterrents.
