How to Manage Fear

Bret Tkacs discusses a subject that every ADV motorcyclist has faced – how to manage fear.  This is a subject that’s widely discussed, but only in general terms – until this podcast.  Learn specific strategies to work specifically with a paralyzing fear of heights while riding.

Guest: Kerry Haggerty, a Patreon subscriber and a former student of Bret’s ADV Camp.  She rides Triumph 900 and reached out to Bret for advice after experiencing some paralyzing fear while riding with some friends at Crater Lake, Oregon.

Discussion Points:
1.  Is fear a good thing or a bad thing?
2.  How can I work on my fear while riding?

Key Takeaways:
– Fear can be reasonable, unreasonable, or fatal.
– The objective is not to eliminate fear, but to not become debilitated by fear.
