| 6/19/26 | ![]() Ted Simon on Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance | Why Robert Pirsig’s Famous Motorcycle Book Mattered to Him — And Why it Didn’tTed Simon is best known as the author of Jupiter’s Travels, one of the most influential motorcycle travel books ever written. Robert Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is another book that has long held a strange place in motorcycling culture: widely known, often recommended, and perhaps just as often left unfinished. In this conversation, Ted talks about finally reading Pirsig’s famous book and why it matters to him in a way listeners might not expect. Is it really a motorcycle book? Why has it stayed in the minds of riders for so many years? And what does motorcycle maintenance mean when the machine beneath you is not just a symbol, but the thing that determines whether the journey continues? What begins with one famous motorcycle book soon opens into Ted’s own memories of travel, breakdowns, repair, and the very practical reality of keeping a journey alive when there is no easy answer and no one else to do the work.🔗 Show Notes & Links: Find photos, links, and resources related to this episode on our website at Adventure Rider Radio.🎧 Subscribe & Never Miss an Episode: We release new episodes of ARR every week on Thursday and of RAW on the 21st of every month—full of inspiring stories, expert advice, and insight from the world of adventure motorcycling.

German engineers Bea Höbenreich and Helmut Koch set out to prove that real motorcycle adventure isn’t about horsepower or gear—it’s about mindset. From Australia’s punishing outback to Cape York’s legendary Old Telegraph Track, they battled bike drownings, deep sand, brutal creek crossings, and relentless headwinds on the smallest machines in the landscape.🔗 Show Notes & Links: Find photos, links, and resources related to this episode on our website at Adventure Rider Radio.🎧 Subscribe & Never Miss an Episode: We release new episodes of ARR every week on Thursday and of RAW on the 21st of every month—full of inspiring stories, expert advice, and insight from the world of adventure motorcycling.

| 2/5/26 | ![]() The Edge, the Motorcycle and the Road Back | There’s something about being on a motorcycle that just feels right — in ways that are hard to explain, but easy to recognize. Not long ago on the show, cognitive scientist Mark Changizi, author of Motorcycle Mind, talked about how riding a motorcycle is unlike anything else we do, because the physics involved mean the bike responds directly to your body — your balance, your inputs, your movement — reacting instantly, almost like a hybrid of human and machine moving as one. That connection sharpens focus and pulls you fully into the moment, and according to Changizi, it can change how our brains process space, motion, and risk. Those changes don’t necessarily stop when the bike is shut off, and for some people, riding becomes a place to return to — a way forward when other things aren’t working, a focus when life is closing in — and that idea sits at the center of today’s episode, as Rusty David shares his story.This episode contains a brief reference to suicide. Listener discretion is advised.🔗 Show Notes & Links: Find photos, links, and resources related to this episode on our website at Adventure Rider Radio.🎧 Subscribe & Never Miss an Episode: We release new episodes of ARR every week on Thursday and of RAW on the 21st of every month—full of inspiring stories, expert advice, and insight from the world of adventure motorcycling.

| 1/30/26 | ![]() DEEP TROUBLE: The Day an SOS Was Ignored on the Pony Express Trail | Adventure riding has a strange relationship with risk. We prepare, carry tools, research routes, ride with friends, and do everything we can to stack the odds in our favour on adventure motorcycle rides. But every now and then, something appears that wasn’t on the map or in the plan, and it shows up faster than we can process it. In those moments, the problem isn’t just the obstacle itself, but what happens next. This story takes place on a remote stretch of Nevada’s historic Pony Express Trail, a well-known backcountry route for adventure riders—experienced riders, familiar terrain, and a route travelled for generations. It’s the kind of ride where preparation feels like it should be enough, until it isn’t, and decisions suddenly matter in ways you don’t expect when riding far from help.🔗 Show Notes & Links: Find photos, links, and resources related to this episode on our website at Adventure Rider Radio.🎧 Subscribe & Never Miss an Episode: We release new episodes of ARR every week on Thursday and of RAW on the 21st of every month—full of inspiring stories, expert advice, and insight from the world of adventure motorcycling.

| 1/23/26 | ![]() RIDER SKILLS: Four Lessons for Control and Confidence in Gravel | Gravel riding makes many motorcycle riders uneasy — not because the bike is out of control, but because it doesn’t behave the way pavement has trained us to expect. The front wanders, the bars move, braking distances grow, and the instinct is to hold on tight and slow down — usually making things worse. On this episode of Rider Skills, we break gravel riding down into four clear lessons: how to let the bike move without panicking; how throttle, braking, and electronics change traction on loose surfaces; how to read gravel roads and choose lines intentionally; and why braking and cornering with limited traction is not only possible, but fun.🔗 Show Notes & Links: Find photos, links, and resources related to this episode on our website at Adventure Rider Radio.🎧 Subscribe & Never Miss an Episode: We release new episodes of ARR every week on Thursday and of RAW on the 21st of every month—full of inspiring stories, expert advice, and insight from the world of adventure motorcycling.

| 1/16/26 | ![]() Riding Cambodia: When a Guided Motorcycle Trip Goes Off Course | In 2003, Bryan Jones and his wife, Max, joined a guided motorcycle tour through Cambodia, expecting a challenging but well-run adventure motorcycle trip through jungles, villages, and remote roads. What they got instead was something very different — aging bikes, a guide who kept disappearing, and a journey that quickly became unpredictable.🔗 Show Notes & Links: Find photos, links, and resources related to this episode on our website at Adventure Rider Radio.🎧 Subscribe & Never Miss an Episode: We release new episodes of ARR every week on Thursday and of RAW on the 21st of every month—full of inspiring stories, expert advice, and insight from the world of adventure motorcycling.

| 1/9/26 | ![]() More Than Miles: What Happens When Long-Term Motorcycle Travel Ends | In December 2019, Lisa and Simon Thomas left their motorcycles and gear in the United States, planning to return after a short trip home to the UK. More than six years later, those bikes are still there — and their lives have gone in a very different direction. This episode lives in the space between what was planned and what actually happened. We talk about building a life around long-term travel, what happens when health intervenes, and the emotional cost of stopping after years on the move. Lisa and Simon share what it’s like to lose — and rebuild — identity, confidence, and purpose when the thing that defines you suddenly disappears. And through it all, we explore why motorcycles still matter.🔗 Show Notes & Links: Find photos, links, and resources related to this episode on our website at Adventure Rider Radio.🎧 Subscribe & Never Miss an Episode: We release new episodes of ARR every week on Thursday and of RAW on the 21st of every month—full of inspiring stories, expert advice, and insight from the world of adventure motorcycling.

| 1/2/26 | ![]() DEEP TROUBLE: Rider Down Utah | Cody Weber and a small group of experienced motorcycle riders set out on a planned day ride near Green River, Utah, traveling through canyon country, dry riverbeds, and remote desert terrain. The ride appeared well prepared: riders who knew each other, a route that seemed manageable, and time taken beforehand to organize motorcycles, gear, supplies, and navigation.What unfolded next isn’t unusual in the world of adventure motorcycling. Terrain gets misread, bikes go down, and riders get injured—especially in remote environments like Utah’s canyonlands. What makes this story worth paying attention to is not the crash itself, but what happened afterward.In the minutes and hours following the accident, a series of decisions were made under pressure, shaped by limited information, physical injury, environmental conditions, and the realities of being far from help. Those decisions made sense at the time—but they also raise important questions about risk assessment, group dynamics, emergency response, and decision-making in remote motorcycle travel.This story offers practical lessons for riders who travel off-road and in isolated areas: what to consider after a crash, how judgment can shift under stress, and what might be done differently when plans unravel. It’s a reminder that preparation doesn’t end when the ride begins—and that the most critical moments often come after everything goes wrong.🔗 Show Notes & Links: Find photos, links, and resources related to this episode on our website at Adventure Rider Radio.🎧 Subscribe & Never Miss an Episode: We release new episodes of ARR every week on Thursday and of RAW on the 21st of every month—full of inspiring stories, expert advice, and insight from the world of adventure motorcycling.
