ARR RAW Round Table Discussions With Motorcycle Adventure Travellers Featuring Grant Johnson, Brian Rix, Shirley Hardy-Rix, Sam Manicom, Graham Field and Jim Martin.  ARR RAW February 2018 Topics:When you're on a trip, you still need to look after home responsibilities, how do you do that when far from home? Have you ever had an "aha moment", when you realize just why you're doing this crazy trip? And sometimes travel can be a bit much and you start thinking about getting back home, should you end your trip? And what about border crossings? Are they really that scary? Border Crossings: Which countries are easiest to get in to, for people that are concerned about border crossings, the hassle, etc? Keep Travelling or Go Home?: Did you ever have a moment where you thought, 'I just want to go home!'  Aha Moments: Describe a moment from a trip where that moment inspired you to think 'Yes! This is why I'm out doing this!'  Listener’s Question: Dealing With Normal Life While on an Adventure Mike Samsen: How do you deal with all the details of so called "normal" life while on an extended trip...house rental, mail, bills, prescriptions, etc?

There’s a certain kind of conversation that happens after the helmets come off and the maps are spread out on the hood of a truck-unfiltered, practical, and drawn directly from the road. That’s the spirit captured in Adventure Rider Radio RAW-Motorcycle Roundtable. This monthly podcast gathers a rotating panel of seasoned adventure riders, long-distance travelers, and industry insiders for deep, unrehearsed discussions. You’ll hear them tackle the real stuff: the nuances of planning a complex overland trip, the gear that truly survives the abuse, and the riding techniques that make a difference when the pavement ends. It’s less about polished presentations and more about the collective wisdom and sometimes conflicting opinions of people who live for two-wheeled exploration. Episodes delve into the mechanics of adventure motorcycles, the philosophy of travel, and the unexpected lessons learned from life on the move. Tuning in feels like pulling up a chair at a campfire where the talk is as substantive as it is spirited, offering actionable advice and honest stories from the world of ADV and dual-sport riding. For anyone who dreams of distant horizons or simply wants to be better prepared for their next weekend escape, this roundtable provides a vital, engaging resource.
