Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-The Law Abiding Biker Crew is heading out for a June trip from Washington State to Colorado this year! We will be heading through Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado during this trip. Due to scheduling and other obligations, only four of us will be making the journey. Indian John and Lawdog are in the studio with me and we break the trip down for you. We throw out some Patron information in case you'll be in the area and maybe want to hook up. Patrons can contact us if you think you'll be in the Colorado area in late June and we can talk specifics.   Later in this episode, we congratulate Indian John, who is the newest full patch member of the Sworn Few LEMC! We get some insight from John about his experience and why he wanted to be with our club.   New Patrons:   Steve Shumate of Charlotte, NC Shane Cruzan of Ashland Missouri Darren Folkes of Liverpool, Austrailia Kim of Mound, Minnesota Pat Savage of St Albert, AlbertaI Kelvin Raeford of Cary,

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-We received a computer voicemail from David Schwarz of Israel and that spurred this very podcast episode. David wondered if there is a standard or a specific time frame on when we should be replacing our motorcycle helmets. So, we busted our butts like usual for you Bikaholics out there and researched this very topic.  We came up with some surprising information & best practices for you. As usual, you'll really need to listen in to this podcast episode to get all the specific details. We also talked about several other things, but this was the main topic.   A Must Listen to Podcast Episode & Article on Motorcycle Helmet Ratings and Testing: (Get in the know)   LAB Episode #94-Motorcycle Helmet Ratings | DOT, ECE, SNELL-What does it mean for bikers?   Do as you like for your personal safety or course, but we believe that our information here is cutting through all the smoke and mirrors for you. Certainly helmet manufacturers would like you to rep

Official website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this podcast episode, we discuss that fact that Iron Order Motorcycle Club member Derrick “Kong” Duran has been cleared of any wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of Mongols MC member Victor “Nubs” Mendoza that occurred on January 30, 2016 at the Motorcycle Expo at the National Western Complex in Denver, Colorado. You absolutely must listen in to the episode because we go over a ton of details. We give much insight into the incident and this recent press release from the District Attorney's Office stating there will be no charges filed whatsoever. There are many reasons for this turn of events that the pitiful basement bloggers won't tell you. Don't worry, Law Abiding Biker™ Podcast & Media is here to give it to you straight based on the evidence and known facts. We'll also point out many unique and interesting things you'll get from no other source! Sponsor for this Episode: (Biker Supporters!) Biker Planet Use our Special Law Abiding Biker Link He

We talk about his 2012 Harley-Davidson Road King and some of the immediate projects he wants to do. He is thinking of putting a detachable batwing fairing on it and he has researched multiple companies. We also talk about the pros and cons of 16" ape hangers versus smaller 14" ape hanger handlebars. Much information sharing goes on over in the Private Patron Only Facebook Group! It is really better than any motorcycle forum out there, as you know the people in the group and who is actually giving you advice and tips. In the group, there is a "search" bar. Any topic can be searched and it will result in all discussions and information on a related topic.   We shared a very cool, cheap, and easily made Harley oil filter spill tray using a plastic liter-sized pop bottle. Patron James Dimitrious is to thank for sharing t

Official website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode we talk about Rick (Big Daddy) Kane's 2001 Harley-Davidson Road King project. He has some great stories and tells where this bike actually came from. Every used bike has a story and this one is pretty cool, so you will want to listen in for sure. This is a secondary bike for Big Daddy, who has a 2014 Harley Ultra Limited for those long cross country trips. He basically shares the older bike with his father.

Rick has done quite a few things to this Road King to make it look like a "Cholo" bike with a Mexican low-rider type influence, which is why he calls it "project Chola". He did it all very affordable and used local resources.  For obvious monetary reasons, he couldn't  just go out and buy all new parts for the transformation. Listen in as we break the entire project down. He learned a lot of things and sh

Official website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-Upon popular request from our audience, we will discuss & review four major brand name speaker and amplifier systems for replacing the stock Boom Audio speakers & adding an amplifier on 2014 & newer Harley-Davison touring motorcycles equipped with the Boom™! Box Infotainment system. We have spent time with each of these audio systems and have tested them heavily in many different real world environments. We are bikers through and through, so our tests are for the average day to day biker out there. We did not test in some sterile controlled environment like many manufacturers do.     The four systems we are comparing are: (2014 & newer touring models)   Note: If you appreciate this information and it is helpful, please consider purchasing any amp and speaker kits through one of our below affiliate links. No additional cost to you, but we get a small kickback should you click through and purchase. It helps us bring more content like this

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-Hang on as we have another law abiding biker motorcycle club interview for all you Bikaholics.  In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Randy "Jake" Patton, who is one of the founding members and the President of the Immortal Knights Public Safety Motorcycle Club (IKPSMC). Also along for the interview ride is Steve "Pirate" Bills, who is the IKPSMC Sgt. At Arms. The Immortal Knights MC is based out of the Salt Lake City, Utah area. We really break it down from how the Immortal Knights MC came into existence, their struggles, their accomplishments, their ideologies, their beliefs, and just what makes them tick.  We dive further into what it may take to become a member of their club and how to get in touch if you are interested.   All law abiding biker clubs should be jumping on this platform and setting up a simple podcast interview, so we can all learn from each other. Clubs that do so get on the exclusive Law Abiding Biker Club Page. And

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode we talk about the inability of the Harley Boom!™ Box Infotainment system to pair "directly" with a wireless Bluetooth motorcycle headset.  We speak the truth based upon facts, research, & testing that was done. We discussed all of this via a Live Blab session. On the mics with me were Rick Kane of Law Abiding Biker™ and Community Patron Member Darwin Cheng of California.  These are the kind of things that go in the forums in the Private Patron Only Facebook Group!  Darwin conducted his own testing and on his own came up with an affordable workaround for "limited" connectivity from the Boom Box to his Sena Bluetooth headset. He shared all the information with us some time back and we finally got around to putting it together into a podcast and video. Darwin himself will tell you that his setup is a workaround and a hack of sorts. He can get some functionality, such as pushing the Boom Box audio to his Sena headset, but he cannot give

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode we start out with a post from a Patron member of Law Abiding Biker private Facebook Group. That private Facebook Group is growing quickly and it is all about bikers helping bikers. The only way to get in is to become a Patron Member of the show. NEW FREE VIDEO-Touch up paint chip or scratch on Harley Davidson Patron member Carl Lingelbach posted a question about motorcycle torque cones for exhaust headers and their effectiveness. He put true dual exhaust on his Harley and now doesn't have enough back pressure and his bike is not performing optimally.  Luckily, I had mechanical advisor Oscar on the microphone and he answered this very question. At the end of the day, he's not a big fan and doesn't think that torque cones are all that effective. There are much better options for performance out there like getting other exhaust aside from true dual pipes. You'll just have to listen to get all the details.   Next we cover an email from Nora

Official website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode we really break things down in reference to the fatal biker club shooting on January 30, 2016 at the Motorcycle Expo at the National Western Complex in Denver, Colorado. Information is that a member of the Iron Order, a proclaimed law abiding biker club, shot a member of the Mongols MC, a proclaimed 1%er outlaw motorcycle gang (OMG). The evidence & research we have done supports each club's proclamations at this point. I have already written several articles on this incident with a fair and balanced perspective, unlike the rarely read articles the basement bloggers are releasing. The mainstream media can't report correctly either because they are obviously and likely unknowingly being fed bad information by special interest. Mainstream media will never have an insight into biker clubs and culture like we do. Related articles we reference in this episode: Read Original Colorado Biker Shooting Article for details and many resources Iro

Official website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-We are all super stoked to celebrate our 100th Law Abiding Biker™ Podcast episode with all you Bikaholics out there! We actually have 117 episodes out, because we covered several Sons of Anarachy seasons, but those episodes were not officially numbered.   We were live on Blab and had a blast with community members jumping in and grabbing a Blab seat when we could (call in). We had quite a few of our beloved Patrons join and say hi! We even had numerous giveaways of items from the Official Law Abiding Biker Store, such as Biker Gripper cell phone motorcycle mounts & support shirts! It was our way of thanking everyone for the awesome support everyone has shown us.   Sponsor for this Episode: (Biker Supporters!)   Biker Planet Community (Browse for Free)   Use our Special Law Abiding Biker Link Here!

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-There are so many things to think about before heading out for a long motorcycle trip.  It is important to pack key items, but not too many unnecessary items. And so, it becomes a delicate balance.  We all know how limited space can be when traveling on a motorcycle. That is also one of the reasons we love it so much. Pack what you can fit on your bike and ride into the sunset! Free your mind and soul!   This episode is spawned from an internet voicemail we received from audience member David Schwartz from Isreal. He is planning a long motorcycle ride here in the United States very soon and wanted to know what to pack. He wanted our thoughts, experience, and insight into packing for motorcycle trips and that's exactly what we give everyone in this podcast episode.   David Schwartz of Israel also mentioned how pleased he was with our Harley oil change and maintenance video. He has saved a ton of money doing his own oil changes and routine maintenance.  

official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-We received a voicemail from community member Greg Ehring. He purchased a 2014 Harley Davidson Ultra Limited equipped with the 6.5 GT Boom!™ Box Infotainment System.  He noticed that the version of maps in his GPS were dated from 2012 and wanted to know why his new bike had old maps.   Harley-Davidson partnered with Harman Kardon to design the Boom Box and with NaviExtras to handle the map portion of the GPS in the larger 6.5 touchscreen models. The smaller 4.3 non-touch screen Boom Box does not have GPS.  No, neither Harley Davidson nor local dealerships are going to check to make sure you have the current GPS maps in your Boom Box upon purchase of your new  brand new Harley. Quite honestly, even if you asked your dealership representative they would not have a clue how to check for that or even how to update it. Yup, Harley has done a poor job on this matter and you're on your own. But, I'm here for you to keep you informed on this stuff.   Quite hone

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this podcast we tell a very cool story of Patron Cody Case of Myrtle Creek, OR. He called in and bought us pizza before we went live for this episode. He wanted to feed the Law Abiding Biker Media crew & we appreciate it very much. We also play a recorded phone conversation we had with Cody. If you haven't experienced the Live Broadcasts, make sure to do so. We have live chat and it is a whole different experience.   On hand via Skype was special guest Gregory Gaxiola from California. Greg became the very first Patron supporter of Law Abiding Biker™ Media several years ago and is now a top-tier supporter! We met up with Greg Gaxiola a few years ago on our summer motorcycle trip to California. He even took a short ride with us and attended a barbecue at a private residence we were staying.   Greg has many years of experience inside the general law abiding biker scene. He has been riding most his life and has owned a plethora of bikes. Everything f

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In no way does Law Abiding Biker™ Podcast & Media promote or support activities by any outlaw criminal motorcycle gangs (OMG's). We are simply reporting on the recent one hour CNN special called "Inside the Mongols Nation", which was hosted by Lisa Ling. We had numerous emails requesting we cover the story and put truth and perspective to it. We listened to our audience and recorded this podcast episode for that reason.   We take a fair and balanced approach & have much insight and perspective into what is fact and what is fiction based on our experiences. There were many facts that were reported in the CNN special and also many things that make little or no sense. To be fair to Lisa Ling, she has no experience with OMG's and that makes it much harder to decipher the truths.   biker planet logoSponsor for this Episode: (Biker Supporters!)   Biker Planet Community (Browse for Free)   Use our Special Law Abiding Biker Link Here!

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this episode we talk about Dyna Cycle Semi-Synthetic oil we recently tested. The company sent us some oil earlier in the year asking us to check it out. So, in true Law Abiding Biker Media style we went full throttle at it. I put Oscar as lead on the project and he is on the mic  in this episode to tell you everything we learned. Oscar is a wealth of knowledge on oil and oil testing.   This episode is packed with useful information for the average day to day biker out there.  Oscar has useful tips he shares that all bikers can benefit from. You can learn a ton about what is going on inside your motorcycle engine with fairly affordable oil testing.   We tested Dyna Cycle oil in one Harley and Amsoil in another. Both bikes have the same motors, were riding the same distance, and in the same environments. Oscar gets into more depth about how the tests were initially set up. Oscar took oil samples before and after our tip to Sturgis, SD this year and sent them o

Official Website:  In this episode we talk in-depth about the different motorcycle helmet ratings out there & that crazy sticker on the back of your helmet. This can be confusing and not everyone completely agrees on every aspect of motorcycle helmet ratings and testing. As usual we break through all the smoke and explain it in a way bikers can understand. No longer will you need to be confused on helmet ratings and what they mean for the average every day biker out there. We got your back on this and you need to listen in to get the complete breakdown. This episode was spurred from a post that one of our Patrons, Dar Cheng, left in our Private Patron Only Facebook Group. Become a Patron and get in on that group. At the end of the episode we do a rountable and give our thoughts on all that surrounds mandatory helemt laws.  You'll definietly want to hear this.  Below are some notes and points we hit on in this podcast episode. If you purchase a new helmet or any motorcycle gear, please consider doing so th

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this episode we dive into everything surrounding the Harley Davidson V-Rod Muscle and Night Rod Special. We have Bid Daddy Kane on hand, who has personally owned one of these bad ass bikes. He has intimate knowledge of it and even tricked it out. He has since sold that bike, but misses it in many ways. Although the V-Rod seemingly has less interest than many other Harley models, it certainly has earned a place among many bikers. There are some pros and cons to the V-Rod and much of it has to do with personal taste and style. We reveal why you might be interested in this bike and why you may not be.   We dive into the specs of the V-Rod and its history dating back to 2001. It has some amazing history and was produced to compete with Japanese & American muscle bikes. The V-Rod uses a Revolution engine, which was developed jointly with Porsche. This was the first time Harley used overhead cams and liquid cooling. What looks like the gas tank on a Harley V-R

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com   Podcast-This episode is dedicated to breaking down the Vance & Hines Fuelpak 3 motorcycle electronic fuel injection (EFI) tuner. We have tested this motorcycle EFI tuner on multiple 2014 and newer Harley Davidson motorcycles for many months now. Oscar is on hand in this episode to dive into the technical aspects. We break it down into an easy to understand guide for bikers/motorcyclists out there. This is a follow-up to podcast episode #81 where we talked about the Dynojet Power Vision vs. the Fuelpak 3. Admittedly, on that episode we stated that we were further testing the Fuelpak 3. Wow, we have learned much more about this EFI tuner since then and we wanted to share it all with you. As we have said many times in the past, if you change the pipes, mufflers, or air intake on your Harley Davidson like so many do, then you will need to tune your electronic fuel injection for optimum performance. And we think the Fuelpak 3 is a very good option for bikers t

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-The main topic of this episode is a discussion and our thought on the recent History Channel's "Outlaw Chronicles: Hell's Angels" series. This is for entertainment purposes only and in no way do we support any sort of illegal behaviors or activities by any motorcycle clubs. This story seems to be very one sided and it is based on ex-member George Christie Jr's recollection of events. There seems to be no verification by any other sources about some of his recollections.  Christie is said to be the longest serving President the club has ever had. He was heading up the Ventura, CA chapter when he left the club and has been ordered to have no contact with existing club members. Based on Christie's website and other activities on social media it appears he is trying to go full steam ahead to cash in on his experiences.  Listen in as we discuss the series and give our take on things. It is a great conversation we had. Other Topics: We also have special guest
