Riding an adventure motorcycle through mud can go from manageable to trouble in seconds. Hidden rocks, roots and ruts can send the motorcycle off course, while slippery surfaces and deep mud can leave you stuck. Off-road instructor Clinton Smout joins Jim Martin to discuss riding techniques, maintaining control, choosing the right line, and getting through mud without going down—or getting stuck.

Show notes
Think about the last time riding your motorcycle when something surprised you on the road or trail and you had to get on the brakes—hard and fast. What did that feel like? Was it unnerving? Did the motorcycle suddenly feel like something you were fighting to control? It doesn’t necessarily have to feel that way. Maximum braking is a skill, but there are things to understand about your motorcycle before you even get to practising it. Clinton Smout from Smart Performance Centre takes us through what riders need to know to become more comfortable, confident and capable when they really need to stop.

We spend a lot of time making motorcycle travel easier. More reliable bikes, GPS navigation, online bookings and help that may be only a message or a call away. Jacqui Furneaux has spent years travelling very differently. Her old Royal Enfield has broken down, she's relied on maps and strangers for directions, and she often leaves room for not knowing exactly what happens next. Some of the experiences she values most happened precisely because something didn't go according to plan. So as motorcycle travel becomes safer, easier and more predictable, what are we gaining — and what might we be insulating ourselves from? Are we engineering some of the adventure out of motorcycle travel?

Why a motorcycle first aid kit should be part of your riding gear — and why the kit itself is only part of being prepared.
A motorcycle first aid kit often gets treated like an extra — something for remote trips, cautious riders, or people with medical training. But if riding motorcycles carries risk, then first aid should be part of the preparation. Not just a small pouch of bandages, but a kit that makes sense for motorcycling, the places we ride, and the situations we may come across.

Balance on a motorcycle is often treated like something a rider either has or does not have, but low-speed motorcycle balance is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and refined. Clinton Smout from SMART Performance Centre and host, Jim Martin, examine what happens when the bike slows down, how riders manage balance through steering, peg weighting, body position, acceleration, and foot placement, and what putting a foot down can reveal about motorcycle control, confidence, and riding skill.

How to Choose the Best Camping Setup for the Way You Ride
Before you start comparing motorcycle tents, sleeping pads, stoves, chairs, pack sizes, and weights, there is an important question to answer. In this episode, Ben Williams from Moto Camp Nerd talks about a simple way to think through your motorcycle camping setup before you start buying gear, so your choices are based on the way you actually ride and travel, not just someone else’s packing list. Michnus and Elsebie Olivier of PikiPiki Overland and Turkana Gear also share lessons learned from years of motorcycle travel, including what they've overpacked, what they've replaced, and what has earned a permanent place in their kit. It's a practical conversation about choosing gear with purpose, not just following the latest trends.

Why Robert Pirsig’s Famous Motorcycle Book Mattered to Him — And Why it Didn’t
Ted 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.

Eva Strehler had already learned what drew her to the road on a motorcycle: freedom, movement, and a way of living outside the usual shape of things. Then she built a sidecar for her dog, Polly, and headed east. What followed was meant to be another long motorcycle journey — through Turkey, into Iran, and across landscapes that changed as quickly as the people she met along the way. But somewhere during the trip, the journey became about something else entirely. This is a conversation about travel, companionship, risk, solitude, and the moments that quietly change the meaning of a journey while you’re still inside it.

Clif Holland shares a father-and-son motorcycle adventure that took an unexpected turn shortly after arriving at Big Bend National Park. After a 700-mile ride to reach the start of their backcountry route, the decision to explore before staging their gear set the tone for what followed. Riding a heavily loaded BMW R1200GS on remote backroads, Clif quickly found himself facing the challenges of sand, weight distribution, and the limited margin for error on big adventure bikes, which led to DEEP TROUBLE. We talk about backcountry riding and the importance of preparation, training, and testing your setup before tackling routes like the BDR.
