Adventure Rider Radio RAW – Motorcycle Roundtable

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.

What is Adventure Rider Radio RAW – Motorcycle Roundtable?

ARR RAW is a monthly adventure motorcycle roundtable from the creators of Adventure Rider Radio, featuring real conversations about adventure riding, motorcycle travel, trip planning, gear, rider skills, and life on the road.

Each episode brings together experienced adventure riders, industry experts, and long-distance travelers to share practical knowledge, honest opinions, and hard-earned lessons from the world of ADV and dual-sport motorcycling.

From packing and bike setup to route planning, riding techniques, and stories from remote trips, RAW covers the topics adventure motorcyclists actually talk about when they get together. It’s informative, unscripted, and built for riders who want to travel farther, ride better, and understand the why behind what they do on a motorcycle.
