  • Love It!

    Been listening for over a year now after switching from street riding to adventure riding. Great interviews, instruction, and topics discussed. I tend to have a short attention span for podcasts but this is one of three that I actually subscribe to and financially support. I highly recommend AAR and ARR Raw podcasts; support them to keep them going. Extra proud it is a Canadian podcast!🇨🇦

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Deep Trouble – Motorcycle Traveller Abducted in Mexico
Q: How did the SOS button influence the outcome of your situation?
Activating the SOS beacon connected my daughter and emergency networks, provided a lifeline, and contributed to eventual police involvement and rescue, though the attackers tried to maintain control for a while longer.
Deep Trouble – Motorcycle Traveller Abducted in Mexico
Q: What happened when you reached the suspicious area and encountered the roadblock?
Two guys at a roadblock with machine guns halted me; I tried to pass by, stayed calm, and decided to blast through to continue my route rather than surrender, which was a high-stakes call in a tense moment.
RIDER SKILLS: The Power of the Dab
Q: Like, can you explain when you use the dab and what it would feel like?
A successful dab is a brief foot contact that stabilizes the bike and buys a moment to push off and upright the motorcycle using a coordinated push from the leg, hips, and handlebars; a hand dab usually signals a crash and is not used to save the ride.
From Boardroom to the Sahara: A Late-Life Reset Through Motorcycle Travel
Q: What motivated you to start this six-month motorcycle journey after retirement?
A desire to mark a transition with a meaningful, freedom-seeking experience and to relive youthful joys through riding, while building resilience and redefining what travel means.
The Motorcycle Sidecar Journey That Changed Everything
Q: What was the plan for this trip? Where were you going and what was the idea?
The plan was to ride with Polly toward the Palmier Mountains, let Polly run freely in nature, and include Mongolia as a horizon dream, while keeping the route flexible enough to adjust to weather and mood.
