Right, my name is Jackie Furno. I've been on a bit of a trip which took me seven years on a motorcycle.

It's an Enfield 500 C.C. bullet. CC Bullet. What is it about change that scares humans so much?

If you think about it, everything that ever came to

you that you consider to be good right now came to you through a change, whether

it's a person you're married to or you're going out with you live with or a job that you love or a career.

Some sort of change had to make that happen.

Something had to change in your life.

Yet most of us go through our entire lives hoping that nothing changes.

Why do we fear it so much when there's so much

opportunity in it? There's so much excitement in it. Really the essence of life, the

real juice, is change. But usually we regudgingly accept change, and then

only afterwards we realize just how fantastic it was. My marriage had fallen apart.

My marriage had fallen apart and the children had grown up and left home and I thought

what shall I do now and so I just went on a whim. I got a flight to Bangkok and bright side of everything you're always down about it.

Well, Jackie Freno probably wasn't looking for change either, but you can hear in her story

the change was probably the best thing that ever happened to her and completely changed her life

for the better.

It's a great story.

After that, we're going to talk with Nate Hudson, who's out riding across the United States in an effort to raise awareness for motorcycle safety.

Nate has some startling statistics that's, wow, you're really going to be shocked when you hear it.

And what's Nate trying to achieve in all of this? Well,

change. I'm Jim Martin and this is Adventure Rider Radio. Do what you want every night every night
