Adventure Riding Without Illusions - Online Course: rtw-adventures.com/new-online-course-1.html
Most riders spend months researching gear before a long trip. Helmets, jackets, boots, motorcycle modifications. But there is something way more important that nobody in the motorcycle world talks about.
One wrong decision can put you in serious trouble that is very difficult, maybe even impossible, to solve. And the dangerous decisions rarely look dramatic in the moment. They feel like clear logic. That is what makes them dangerous.
I have been riding for more than 35 years and traveling by motorcycle for more than 15. In this video, I share real situations from my own trips where the wrong decision was the problem, not the gear.
Gear is the last line of defense. Decisions are the first. And most riders invest everything in one and almost nothing in the other.
