Summary

With their three sons grown and moved out, Petra and Anders felt what they called boredom, that loss we all feel when we’ve worked and lived to raise our families, and then being needed comes to an end. So they came up with a plan to ride their motorcycles around the world. A lot of riders struggle moving their bikes around, loading them on to trailers or vehicles, into hotel lobbies around their garages or even just parking them. On this episode of Rider Skills, we discuss the mechanics behind handling your bike in these situations. More motorcycle travel episodes available on Adventure Rider Radio at adventureriderradio.com.
