Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-This episode is based on an email we received asking the question, should I buy a new or used Harley Davidson motorcycle? In the email, Rodney Martinez of the San Francisco Bay area says it is his first Harley he will be purchasing and wants us to give our opinions and experiences on the matter. So, are you in the market for a Harley Davidson motorcycle? There are a ton of makes, models, and years to choose from. There are also a ton of local and online markets & services for buying and shopping for used Harley's. Of course new Harley's are only sold at certified dealerships and we have done a past episode on that.

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode we dive in deep to a recent incident in Hood County, Texas where William Crum, 68, swerved his car left and over the center line where a biker was trying to pass him.   Biker Eric Sanders, 37, was attempting to pass Crum on his Kawasaki motorcycle and had his girlfriend Debra Thompson, 38, as a passenger. They passed one car fine, but when they tried to pass Crum he swerved left and cut them off. Sanders struck the left rear of Crum's car and went down hard. Both were injured, but passenger Thompson was very seriously injured and she ended up in the ICU.  I did an article and posted a video of this incident immediately when it first happened.

There is a ton of useful information over there and I encourage you to take a look before proceeding here. This podcast episode is a follow-up on that basic information. We get deep into the Harley Boom Audio amp and speaker kits and you really just need to listen in. We answer many questions in this episode. Should you get a Harley Boom Audio Stage 1 or 2 system? Which years is this system for? Can you upgrade from a stage 1 to a stage 2 later on? Is the system worth the money? Do you need a dealer download into your Boom Box after you upgrade? Can you install the system yourself? Does it sound good? Are other aftermarket Harley stereo systems better? There is a ton of information bikers need to know before diving into one of these systems. The Harley Boom!™ Box Infotainment System comes standard now on 2014 & above Harley

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com PODCAST-The Biker Gripper is absolutely the best cell phone/smartphone, GPS, EFI Tuner, and radar detector mounting solution on the market. We here at Law Abiding Biker™ Podcast & Media tested it for a long period of time, over thousands of miles, on different bikes, Mounted it in different positions,  and while holding different devices. Believe it when I say your device will not come out of the 18 lbs of grip strength the Biker Gripper provides. Over several years the Biker Gripper went through a couple violent motorcycle crashes here at Law Abiding Biker™. First was my high side crash on my 2011 Harley Davidson Street Glide in Oregon. Yup, a complete high side after getting squirley in some gravel around a corner. My Harley was nearly totaled and laying on it's side. My iPhone did not move and was still secured and untouched in the Biker Gripper! That was my first  thought that we should put our logo on this thing and sell it in our own store to bikers

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com PODCAST & VIDEO-In this video Lurch and I ride to the Rattlesnake Mountain Harley-Davidson dealership at 3305 W 19th Ave, Kennewick, WA 99338. Lurch has a plan to trade in his 2008 Harley Street Glide for a 2015 Harley Road Glide Special. Although I have always personally liked the look of the batwing style fairing on the Street Glide models, Harley has re-designed the shark nose fairing on the 2015 Road Glide models and I like the new look much better. Lurch and his 2015 Road Glide Lurch is 6 foot 6 inches tall, so because of the fixed fairing (does not turn with the handlebars) we will be able to install 13" ape handlebars and push them forward farther. This will give Lurch a more stretched out and comfortable riding position. The bars can not be pushed as far forward on the Street Glide, because of the different fairing that turns with the bars. •Check out our #1 rated Harley Handlebar Install Videos-Fairing and non-fairing videos available!

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com PODCAST-Over the past months we here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media have installed a Vance & Hines Fuelpak 3 on my Harley Davidson and a Dynojet Power Vision on Oscar's Harley. Both are motorcycle electronic fuel injections (EFI) tuners and seemingly two of the most popular currently on the market. We realize there are many other EFI tuners on the market, but it takes time to properly install, film, evaluate, and review each tuner. We also have much experience with the Dynojet Power Commander V and Auto Tuner, which have been a staple in the motorcycle EFI industry for many years now. Remember that the first thing Harley Davidson owners usually do after purchase is put a new air intake and exhaust on their ride. It is a must to re-map your electronic fuel injection immediately after installing an air intake, exhaust, or both. Don't waste your money getting the stock Harley EFI re-map download at a dealership, as it is a one time canned EFI map & can cost

Pere is a mechanical engineer full time and this is a passion project for him on the side as you will learn in this interview. The Bike Shield App is available for IOS and Android and is free.

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com PODCAST-In this episode we talk in-depth with Kristin Casey, who is a female sports biker racer. Sports bike racing is dominated by males, but that doesn't stop Kristin and she is right in the thick of it. It seems nothing is going to stop her from taking her racing to the next level. Yep, even while competing against male racers. You won't find another podcast interview of Kristin Casey like this one, so you must listen in. We truly had a great time talking with her. Kristin is extremely passionate about sports bike racing even after a crash in 2011 caused from mechanical failure in which she nearly had to have her right leg amputated. That put her out for over 3 years and she has been back at it in the last year.  Her father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in May 2013 with less than a year to live diagnosis and passed on in May 2014.  He was an avid Harley Davidson owner and rider and was a big part of Kristin's life. She speaks of the day she came hom

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com PODCAST-The opening song, "Biker Campfire" by Steve Werner (iTunes Link), is the way bikers are supposed to treat each other. We here at Law Abiding Biker consider other bikers friends we have not yet met. It’s as simple as that wave you extend when you pass another biker on the road. Let’s all practice that kindness and acceptance and continue the Law Abiding Biker Revolution. We are the motorcycling majority and are in charge of the true motorcycle scene. Tragically, sometimes bikers forget why they started riding motorcycles in the first place and get caught up in a dead end criminal lifestyle. Our respects go to anyone that lost their lives in the Waco, TX Biker Shootings on Sunday May 17, 2015 and to their families. We do not have all the facts and of course we consider the 9 deaths tragic. By talking about what things are known on this Podcast, in no way do we promote or celebrate any deaths that occurred. Additionally, in no way by airing this episode do

Official website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com PODCAST-In this episode we discuss in depth everything you need to know about installing aftermarket handlebars on your Harley Davison motorcycle. That means everything from drag bars, to mini ape hangers, to tall ape hangers. We filmed multiple Harley handlebar install tutorials in the Law Abiding Biker Garage that walk you through this process step by step. That's right, videos by bikers for bikers.  Bikers all over the world are saving money and not taking their Harley Davidson to a dealership or other mechanic to do a handlebar install. The fact of the matter is that with our videos you can do it right in your garage, shop, or patio right on the kickstand. We have you covered whether you have a Harley with a fairing or without a fairing. It doesn't matter if you have the same exact Harley year or model that we used in our videos. Harley has kept things basically the same as far as handlebars and simple wiring harnesses over the years. Official Harley Handle

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com  PODCAST-So we caught wind of a company working on a smartphone app to help protect bikers/motorcyclists from common collisions & to make other motorists aware of motorcycles around them. The app is called The Bike Shield App and it is available for free on both IOS and Android devices.  We break it down for you in this podcast episode and what our initial thoughts are. Is the app beneficial for bikers? Do we see the app taking off? What can be done to help push the app along and into the hands of more bikers and motorists? These are just a few of the questions we answer, so listen in now. The Bike Shield App has an official website with information at www.thebikeshieldapp.com and there are also several YouTube videos describing the app. TDG Company CEO Pere Margalef dreamt up the app, but it fell short of it's Indiegogo crowd funding goal of $25,000 and ended on March 30, 2015 raising only $9,179. It appears the company is still moving forward with devel

The chain tensioning system in these motors uses plastic “shoes” riding on the cam chains that wear out. We here at Law Abiding Biker all agree that there is no real concern with the newer post 2006 motors and is limited to the years stated. Although we are pro Harley Davidson, this was a complete design failure and the company should have done a better job taking care of owners of the affected years in our opinion.  You really need to listen in to this podcast episode to get all the facts and information.   Harley damaged cam chain tensioner Harley damaged cam chain tensioner What is happening on the affected years?

As a law abiding biker/motorcyclists you may be wondering whether or not you should dive in and watch this television series? We break it down for you and whether you should spend your time doing so. We separate fact from fiction, so you have the right mindset going into the television series, so listen in on this one!   This Gangland Undercover drama series is a fictionalized retelling of the story of meth dealer-turned-ATF informant Charles Falco, who spent three years inside one of America's most dangerous motorcycle gangs, the Vagos. Although Falco originally took on the assignment to avoid spending 20 years in prison on drug charges, it eventually evolved into a quest for justice for him.

Even those that have never ridden a motorcycle have either heard of or watched the show themselves. The show has had a long lasting impact on many and we wanted to dive into and reminisce in this podcast episode. We have it packed with information and fun facts. There were many actors that appeared in the series each season, which aired from 1977-1983. Of course we all remember the main duo, Officer Jon Baker, played by Larry Wilcox, & Officer Frank Poncherello (Ponch), played by Erik Estrada. Sgt. Joseph Getraer played by Robert Pine was their direct supervisor on the show. Don't forget the beautiful Randi Oakes who played Officer Bonnie Clark. Ponch was the macho, rambunctious one and Jon washis straight-laced partner. The two didn't always see eye to eye on set, but have since reconciled. Each had their contract negotiation is
