ARR Motorcycle Podcasts - Adventure Rider Radio
What do you do when your adventure bike is buried in sand, lying sideways on a slope, or wedged deep in a rut miles from help? In this episode, Jim talks with Clinton Smout, Adam Owens, and Chris Birch about the mindset, techniques, and recovery tools riders use when things go wrong off-road. From smart trail-side decisions and energy-saving recovery methods to simple techniques that can turn a bad situation around, this episode is packed with practical knowledge every adventure rider should hear before they need it.
Clif Holland shares a father-and-son motorcycle adventure that took an unexpected turn shortly after arriving at Big Bend National Park. After a 700-mile ride to reach the start of their backcountry route, the decision to explore before staging their gear set the tone for what followed. Riding a heavily loaded BMW R1200GS on remote backroads, Clif quickly found himself facing the challenges of sand, weight distribution, and the limited margin for error on big adventure bikes, which led to DEEP TROUBLE. We talk about backcountry riding and the importance of preparation, training, and testing your setup before tackling routes like the BDR.

RAW Motorcycle Podcast Episodes - Adventure Travel Round-Table Talks
On this episode of RAW, the hosts are diving into adventure rides across North America that push you just enough to make them unforgettable — the kind that test your skill, endurance, and mindset, but reward you with incredible scenery, real solitude, and that hard-earned feeling of “I did that.” These aren’t extreme-for-the-sake-of-it routes — they’re rides the average rider can take on with the right mindset, where the challenge actually gives something back. If you’ve ever wondered which rides are worth the effort, this one’s for you.
Adventure motorcycle travel means stepping into the unknown—and sometimes the unexpected happens. In this episode of ARR RAW, the panel looks at the kinds of emergencies riders can face on the road, from political instability and sudden border closures to medical issues, extreme weather, and the occasional bureaucratic nightmare. Drawing from real-world experience, the group discusses what these situations can actually look like when you’re traveling by motorcycle and why thinking about them before you leave can make a big difference.
