Law Abiding Biker | Street Biker Motorcycle Podcast

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode we break down the old myth that you should go out during the winter every so often to start your motorcycle and let it idle for a bit to warm it up. Many think this will keep things lubricated and that it is good for the motor to do this. Heck, I used to do it because that's what my father always did with sitting cars. This particular subject matter came up in the Patron Only Private Facebook Group. If your not in this group you should consider it, because a ton of reliable information and discussions are in there. Many bikers can't ride during certain snow months and head out to the old garage, fire up their motorcycle, drink a beer, maybe have a cigar, and let their bike run for 15-20 minutes. They shut her down and head back into the house.  Is this a good practice? Now that I am more educated, I realize this is actually a bad thing to do to your motorcycle's engine or any engine for that matter. You're better off just letting your mo

Box Infotainment System. Yes, we have the best solutions for Bluetooth wireless headsets and the good old wired 7-pin DIN plug in headsets. You'll really need to listen in to get all the information. Let me be VERY clear........No, there is absolutely no wireless Bluetooth headset that will pair "directly" with the Harley-Davidson Boom!™ Box Infotainment System. It doesn't matter if you have a 2014 or a newer 2017 Harley with the Boom Box as it is the same exact version of the Infotainment system and no changes in hardware have been made by Harman Kardon, maker of the Boom! Box.  Let me, a biker, show you all the tips, tricks, and hidden menus, so you can get the most out of your system. Less time stressing, more time riding!

Official Website: Podcast-In this episode we discuss the Discovery Channel series called Sacred Steel Bikes. The show released in late 2016 for a 6 episode run. At the time of this article, Discovery Channel has yet to renew Sacred Steel Bikes for a second season. Nobody is sure if the show will even be renewed. Sacred Steel Bikes is based out of East LA and is about a group of guys that are part of a motorcycle club called Douche Larouche.  It seems the members have full-time jobs and after work and on weekends they get together to build bikes in a shared shop space. Jason Wilson is the organizer of these custom bike build jobs and is a union sheet metal worker by day. He is trying to take Sacred Steel Bikes to the next level as a business, but can't seem to drum up any buyers.  The bikes Sacred Steel build are old school custom choppers. They are really cool to look at and much respect goes out to these guys for their talents. However, in a saturated market of custom bike builders, it's going to be hard to

The unreliable motorcycle forums are full of bad information because nobody actually researches the matter. Well, I did that for you and talked to many sources inside Harley-Davidson dealerships. Some of these rumors got started because recently the Screamin Eagle Super Tuner was banned by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Harley-Davidson was fined $12 million dollars. So, nothing is new with the new 2017 Milwaukee-Eight 107 or 114 ci motors in regards to warranties. For years, all Harley owners have been at risk of having a warranty voided for installing aftermarket exhaust, removing catalytic converters, or adding EFI tuners. Clearly, dealerships are not

Official Website:  http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Note: Law Abiding Biker™ Media is not recommending you use any oils in your Harley engine that are not officially approved and/or recommended by Harley-Davidson. We are only relaying information that is known to many in the biker community. You are solely responsible for what you decide to do to your bike. Okay, so you're out on a motorcycle road trip and don't have any synthetic oil or "approved" oil for your Harley-Davidson, but need some suddenly. There are no close stores for motorcycle oil, but the local truck stop has heavy duty 15W-40 diesel oil available. Can you throw some of that into your Harley motor and be on down the road? Maybe you are you on an extreme budget and can't afford full Synthetic motorcycle oil, such as 20W-50 Amsoil, which we use here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media in all our bikes.

He is an awesome photographer and does video too. He has much experience with using and mounting GoPro action cameras to motorcycles. LawDog was also on a mic and as a beginner had a ton of great questions to ask Russell and I. I think he asked questions many of you out there want to know and how to get started from the ground up. We reveal how you Bikaholics can get started with action cameras when out riding your motorcycle. Of course, we use high-end camera, audio gear and lighting here at Law Abiding Biker Media for many projects. But, we also utilize GoPro cameras to capture footage depending on the particular project. I do all my moto biker vlogs with GoPros and iPhones.  You can see our free videos on our YouTube Channel.

Russell is very involved and supportive of Law Abiding Biker™ Podcast & Media. Many of you know him and see him post in the Private Patron Only Facebook Group!  Russell is a professional truck driver and when he learned he had to make a drop in Seattle, WA, he gave us a shout.

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-We went on a 6-day motorcycle trip to Colorado from Washington State in late June of 2016 for a total of 2700 miles. As usual, we wanted to meet up with any Patrons members in Colorado while we were there and we put out the info ahead of time. Patron Al Long got involved right away. He even took a day off work to meet and ride with us. He was our official guide. We met up with Al and he gave us a grand tour around the Denver, Colorado area. He took us on some nice twisty roads and through some beautiful areas. We even visited the grave of Buffalo Bill at 987 Lookout Mountain Rd, Golden, CO. Anyways, we stopped in Idaho Springs, CO and had a nice lunch & cold beer at Tommyknocker Brewery. This is a definite place to visit if you're ever in the area. Al, Indian John, and I had a nice conversation over beer and food, biker to biker. That is exactly what this podcast episode is all about. We pretty much talked about everything and you get to listen in.
