Bret has traveled through 49 countries, most of them by motorcycle, and with very few overpayments, bribes, or harassment.  He discusses the following points that he has learned from his extensive travel, and through his mentor, Miguel.  Topics discussed in this episode are: 1) How to address and use fixers/helpers, 2) Attitude, 3) Professionalism.

Unfortunately, crashes are a significant reality for motorcyclists.  The good news is most crashes are our fault.  In Washington, 75% of fatalities were riders in a curve, with no other vehicles involved, which means they had complete control over the situation.  For off-road riders, nearly all crashes are caused by the rider.  Topics discussed in this episode are 1) Being in a position to take care of yourself, 2) How to reduce injury in crashes by adjusting your attitude and practicing on dirt bikes.
