ARR RAW - Roundtable talks about motorcycles, travel and much more. RAW is the longest running show of it’s kind and is in in it’s 9th year of continuous production. Hosted by top names in adventure motorcycling.

Adventure Rider Radio RAW Motorcycle Roundtable Talks

How has motorcycle travel changed over the past ten years — not just the gear and tech, but how does constant exposure to other riders’ trips and highlight reels reshape our motivation? Comparison is everywhere now, whether we want it or not, and it has a way of steering our travel choices without us noticing. The panel reflects on what first sparked their desire to travel, how that spark has evolved, and how to stay grounded in their own reasons for riding instead of chasing outside influence.

Listener Question from Briah Grohs: For your 10th anniversary show of RAW, ask each member of the panel what stands out in their mind that they learned from being on the show.

119: RAW's 10th Anniversary: How Motorcycle Travel Has Changed Over the Past Ten Years

This episode digs into why so many riders never take the big motorcycle trip they dream about. What’s a real reason not to go — and what’s just fear or over-planning? Are we putting too much focus on the bike instead of the experience? And if you love the idea more than the lifestyle, is that okay? The group wraps with what “leaving” really means: chasing freedom, time, and the adventure you actually want.

118: Why Most Riders Never Set Off on the Big Trip — and Maybe They Shouldn’t

Adventure motorcycling isn’t just about the ride—it’s about everything that comes with it: the borders, the gear, and the unpredictable moments in between. Ever had your gear raise an eyebrow—or a full-blown alarm—with airport security, police, or border agents? From tools to camping gear that triggered searches, the RAW panel shares stories of harmless objects that looked anything but, and the tense moments when curiosity met authority. And when the road itself turns uncertain, determination can clash with reality—storms rolling in, daylight fading, instincts warning “not today.” In this episode, we explore the judgment calls that separate grit from recklessness, the gear that got us flagged, and the rides we didn’t finish but will never forget.

117: Suspicious Objects, Red Flags and Gut Feelings

What does “motorcycle adventure” really mean? Is it risk and danger, discovery and learning, or just stepping outside your comfort zone? In this episode, we talk about how riders see adventure, how those views shift with age and experience, and whether it’s about pushing limits, finding purpose, or embracing the inner journey.

116: Unpacking Motorcycle Adventure

On this episode of RAW, we discuss recognizing and resolving conflicts while travelling, whether it’s with someone you started the trip with or someone you meet along the way and decide to ride with. Common sources of conflict include differing riding styles, daily routines, decision-making, or budget mismatches. The panel talks about how to communicate effectively on the road, ways to compromise, when to take space, and how to reset after tension or disagreement.

Listen to the episodes on ARR featuring two riders who faced issues while travelling from Atlanta to Alaska together. They ended up parting ways and didn’t remain friends. Each appeared on the show in separate episodes to share their side of the story.
