Motorcycle travel roundtable discussions with ARR RAW is a spin-off from the very popular Adventure Rider Radio Podcast and Radio Show.

Adventure Rider Radio RAW Motorcycle Roundtable Talks

For many people, a long motorcycle trip or a journey around the world is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It may be their first adventure, or it could be the only trip they ever get to take. While many are content to go solo, some prefer to travel with a partner—whether for companionship, security, or other reasons. This partner could be a good friend, a relative, or a life partner. Or they might need to find someone to join them on their adventure. Choosing a riding partner may just be one of the most important aspects of their travel plans. So, what are some things to consider in a riding partner?

107: How to Choose a Riding Partner for a Long Trip

Motorcycle travel involves eating, sleeping, and finding a place to “go”—the true trifecta of adventure. Sometimes, choices feel like a gamble, ranging from gourmet dining to street food that might challenge you later, and from luxurious hotel rooms to campsites that turn out to be gravel pits. Bathrooms? You’ll encounter everything from lavish bidets to bushes that test your creativity. Eat, sleep, poop. It’s messy, unpredictable, and unforgettable.

On 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.

1: Premiere RAW Episode: Moto Travel and Exploration

We also touch on the importance of medical coverage for travelers, what you really need, and how to avoid common mistakes when buying insurance.

2: Bribes, Bling and Medical Coverage for Travellers

Understanding what counts as an emergency is crucial. Devices like SPOT and InReach let you call for help and alert others about your situation, potentially saving your life. But when do you really need rescue versus just some assistance? We discuss different methods for handling emergencies and consider how some countries charge for search and rescue. Planning ahead, like getting to know people on forums, could be helpful in areas where rescue costs money or isn't readily available. Additionally, we talk about micro adventures for those with limited time and tight budgets, exploring the best destinations for the most rewarding experience without breaking the bank.
