A new movie in the Marvel Universe, Thunderbolts, brings together a team of assassins, outcasts, and fallen heroes who must work together after realizing they’ve been betrayed by their employer, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. With nowhere to turn and the odds stacked against them, they must find a way to survive—and fight back. In the film, we see the 149-horsepower Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 ST perform incredible, scene-stealing stunts without CGI.  SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Some bikes make history. Others rewrite it. In 1988 and 1989, Willie G. Davidson rode early Fat Boy prototypes into Daytona, seeking direct feedback from riders and igniting a legacy that would span generations. By 1990, the Fat Boy was born, quickly becoming one of the most legendary models in Harley-Davidson history. Now, 35 years later, the new 2025 Fat Boy Gray Ghost charges forward, bringing that legacy full circle. Inspired by the riders who made it an icon, this tribute honors the past while

In this episode I'm joined by Lurch and we talk about his new 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide.  We talk about the buying experience and how I may have made it way too complicated.  You see, we like to bust each others balls a bit.  Hijinks ensued and I had a bit of fun at Lurch's expense.  We also talk about what he has done to the bike so for and what he plans to do to it in the future.  SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide has bold redesign driven by performance enhancement and aerodynamic efficiency.  There was a significant power upgrade via the Milwaukee-Eight 117, with better cooling and less weight.

In this podcast episode, we talk about Figurati Designs magnetic dipsticks and the newly released 2025 Indian Challenger and Pursuit Elite Models.  We discuss what the Figurati Designs magnetic dipstick is and the benefits of using one.  The 2025 Indian Challenger and Pursuit Elite Models look great and we say they are comparable to Harley's CVO models.  SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Figurati Designs Magnetic Dipsticks are engineered to elevate your engine's protection by actively removing harmful metal particles from your oil. Unlike standard dipsticks, each one features a powerful suspended Neodymium rare earth magnet that captures microscopic debris caused by normal engine wear, preventing it from recirculating and causing premature damage.

Whether for your engine or transmission, they provide an easy way to monitor oil health and

In this podcast episode, we call out a dishonest company called Winx Wheels, which continues to deceive riders and violate the biker code by stealing content from creators like myself and others.  I have retained evidence and proof in the form of video ads they've run and email communications I've had with them. Who is Winx Wheels? Winx Wheels is aggressively pushing cheap bicycle and motorcycle products through social media ads. You’ve probably seen them pop up in your Facebook or Instagram feed. They claim to be a company that supports the motorcycle community—but their actions say otherwise. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Here's what makes them dishonest: They hide their true identity.  No legit address. No real names. No transparency. They’ve repeatedly stolen intellectual property.  Including copyrighted segments of my YouTube videos, without permission. They fake legitimacy. Their website shows they're “featured” on unknown publications—one of which is a bicycle company in

In this podcast episode, we talk about the Mueller Power Clutch 2.0.  If you've ridden a modern Harley-Davidson motorcycle equipped with a cable clutch system, you probably know how fatiguing that clutch pull can get—especially during slow-speed maneuvers, stop-and-go traffic, or long days in the saddle. In this article, we’ll introduce you to a game-changing upgrade: the Mueller Power Clutch 2.0. We’ll also walk you through the key elements involved in upgrading your cable clutch system without getting bogged down in every bolt turn. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE If you're riding an '18 and newer Softail or '21 and newer Touring model, chances are your clutch cable includes a cheap plastic inline adjuster. Not only is this piece prone to failure (and can even leave you stranded), but it also offers minimal fine-tune capability—just a red button that automatically adjusts based on spring tension. It’s more “auto-manual” than anything else.The Solution: Mueller Power Clutch 2.0 We

In this episode, we talk about motorcycle riding jeans.  We give you some options of jeans we have tested at varying price points and options.  Wearing protective motorcycle riding jeans is one of the smartest things you can do for your safety and comfort on the road. Here's why: 1. Abrasion Resistance Regular denim shreds in seconds during a slide. Motorcycle riding jeans are reinforced with abrasion-resistant materials like Kevlar®, Dyneema®, or Aramid fibers that can withstand a crash at high speeds—helping protect your skin from painful and serious road rash. 2. Impact Protection Many motorcycle riding jeans come with CE-rated armor in the knees and hips, which helps absorb and distribute the force of impacts, reducing the risk of broken bones or bruising during a crash.

You don’t have to compromise style for safety—perfect for co

In 2021, Harley-Davidson made the controversial switch from their robust hydraulic clutch system to the antiquated cable clutch system. As a police motorcycle officer and instructor, I can confidently say that the hydraulic system was superior in terms of consistency, reliability, and ease of use. However, if you're stuck with a cable clutch system on your Harley, don't worry—there are ways to make it great again. We walk you through everything you need to know about upgrading your cable clutch system with high-quality Fat Baggers & PSR Lever components, ensuring better control, comfort, and overall riding experience. All the products discussed are available in the Law Abiding Biker™ store, along with detailed installation videos to guide you through the process. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The stock clutch system on a Harley-Davidson is designed to accommodate a broad range of riders. However, it’s not tailored for individual preferences, which can hinder optimal control a

In this episode, we talk about motorcycle battery tenders.  Motorcycle batteries are expensive, and every rider wants to extend their lifespan as much as possible. In this guide, I’ll walk you through some trusted battery tenders and maintainers that I personally use on all my motorcycles. These products are not only reliable but also available in the Law Abiding Biker™ Store. Let’s dive into the details to help you make the best choice for your bike's battery care. Why Battery Maintenance Matters Battery maintenance isn’t just a winter task. Even during riding season, motorcycles can sit idle for weeks at a time, draining their batteries. Consistently using a quality battery tender ensures your battery stays healthy year-round, saving you money and preventing inconvenient breakdowns.

In this podcast episode we discuss several topics.  Indian Motorcycle sales were down for the forth quarter of 2024, Harley-Davidson dealing with tariffs, and motorcycle jump starters.  Indian Motorcycles, founded in 1901, is one of America’s oldest and most iconic motorcycle brands. After dominating the market in the early 20th century with models like the Scout and Chief, the company struggled and ultimately ceased operations in 1953. Over the next five decades, several revival attempts failed until Polaris Industries acquired the brand in 2011. Polaris successfully relaunched Indian, preserving its heritage while expanding with modern designs and a broad lineup of seven motorcycle families. The introduction of the FTR1200 in 2019 marked its only major innovation in recent years. The brand reestablished itself as a serious rival to Harley-Davidson, especially in the North American market, where it achieved record sales of 43,219 units in 2022.

I had the privilege of attending the 2025 Harley-Davidson press event in Austin, Texas, where the motor company unveiled something truly extraordinary. Behind closed doors, away from prying eyes, sat a motorcycle never seen before—until now. By the time you read this, the embargo will have lifted, and I can finally introduce you to the 2025 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR, a machine that takes inspiration straight from MotoAmerica King of the Baggers racing. This is not just another touring bike. The 2025 CVO Road Glide RR is a limited-production, handcrafted masterpiece, designed for those who demand top-tier performance and exclusivity. With only 131 units being produced and sold exclusively through select U.S. dealers, this is a collector’s dream. Before you dismiss the $110,000 price tag, consider what this bike represents.

In this episode, we talk about the 2025 Harley-Davidson Cruiser lineup. I had the opportunity to attend the press event in Austin, Texas, and ride these new cruisers.

All six received the Milwaukee-8 117 engine and rider safety enhancements.  SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Test Ride Impressions Street Bob 117: A Lightweight & Agile Cruiser Ideal for shorter riders: At 5'8", I found the ergonomics to be comfortable with mid-controls and a well-positioned handlebar.

In this podcast episode, we dive deep into motorcycle heated riding gear. Riding in cold weather can be uncomfortable without proper gear. Over the years, I’ve tested a range of heated gear—from budget to premium—and have real-world experience as a police motor officer and personal rider. In this guide, I’ll walk you through heated gear options, share insights, and explain why Gerbing gear stands above the rest. 1. The Problem with Cheap Heated Gear White-Labeled & Generic Gear Many low-cost heated gear products, like Mobile Warming, are white-labeled items from platforms like Alibaba. These products appear across Amazon and eBay, rebranded and sold under different names. The Issue: Cheap materials lead to quick failure, poor battery performance, and safety concerns. Flimsy Batteries & Chargers Cheap heated gear often uses low-quality lithium-ion batteries. Problems include: Fire hazard concerns. Poor charge indication (no light or status). Chargers that break quickly. Batteries don't last and wil
