Hi, I'm Jim Martin.

Before we get going here, I just want to say that this show is built on a model of

advertising and listener support, the two of them, to make the whole thing work.

That's the reason that we're able to do this after all these years is because we have some advertisers and we have some people

who support the show.

But it's not enough.

There's only a fraction of the people, I mean a really tiny fraction of the people that listen

every single week choose to support the show.

Please don't sit back and expect somebody else to do it.

Drop by our website adventure rider radio.com and click on support.

Thanks. In Mexico, around this time a year, the end of October 1st, November,

Mexicans celebrate what's called The Day of the Dead.

It's a time to remember their loved ones and their friends that have passed on.

But the Day of the Dead isn't about mourning. It's not sad. It's a celebration. A celebration of those that once lived. And through that celebration, Mexicans remember, rejoice, and the day of the dead reminds them that death is not to be feared, that it's sort of a gateway into another world,

and that releases them to enjoy life and what they have on earth and what they still have right now.

But I think for a lot of us, it often takes a dangerous or threatening predicament, a brush with death,

or what could have been possibly death if things didn't go our way

to remind us just how beautiful life really is like when some motorcycle travelers find

themselves in a precarious situation where they feel death as imminent or at least highly possible.

And in the end, they're fortunate enough to come out with their life and maybe some incredible stories from those close calls.

Migness and Elsby Ullivir are sort of in the thick of things down in My

L-B-Ulevir are sort of in the thick of things down in Mexico right now.
