Common concerns include finding food you enjoy and managing allergies. Another important aspect of motorcycle travel is ensuring quality fuel, maintaining oil and filters, and dealing with tire issues.

97: The Dark Side of Long Term Motorcycle Travel

Being self-reliant can be likened to having insurance—an ability to take care of oneself if things go awry. There's nothing inherently wrong with accepting help; it's a human instinct, and in the context of motorcycle travel, assistance often leads to friendship and discovery. However, it raises the question of wisdom and responsibility to travel as a dependent, relying too much on others. In this episode of RAW, we discuss ways to become a self-reliant traveler with topics including camping and accommodations, route planning, financial preparedness and repairs, and more.
