A rider is descending a mountain pass in Colorado when something moves in the brush.
Two seconds later everything changes.
This episode explores how quickly things unfold on a motorcycle — and what riders can learn about wildlife encounters, emergency braking, and what happens when a trained search-and-rescue responder arrives moments later.

The concept couldn’t have been simpler.

In December 2019, Lisa and Simon Thomas paused their long-term motorcycle travels, expecting to return within months. They never did.

A thousand kilometres up the Dempster, two riders were fighting fog and mud — while the third wasn’t fighting fog at all. Same conditions, completely different visibility.
Fogging is something riders often just tolerate, even though it’s a safety issue. We often crack the visor, wipe with a glove, and hope it clears.
This episode breaks down why fogging happens, what works, what doesn’t, & why so you can choose what fits your riding.
RAW #118 looks at why so many riders never set off on the “big trip” they talk about. And whether some riders might actually be better off not going.
Clear, practical discussion, without the usual clichés.
