Put the fuckin' mic on!

Fresh off, eating something we shouldn't have eaten.

It feels so delicious.

Feel like shit.

Feel lethargic.

Here's the dealio.

If you have not partaken in this, don't.

And it is, I don't eat them anymore back when I was much heavier, well over eight years

ago.

I didn't care what I ate, and since then, and I lost a lot of weight, I try to keep that

off.

And one way you can keep that weight off, Lurch, is not eating a chicken bake from Costco.

I didn't know what they were when it was brought up.

I was thinking of a bake, which is normally like a pasta bake, you know, kind of thing.

It must be chicken and bacon and, you know, pasta and all that.

I had no idea what this thing was.

This is a Costco chicken bake.

Oh, you're looking it up.

That's not as bad as we thought as far as calories.

High in sodium.

It's less calories than I thought.

Here's why we ate it.

All right.

So I felt obligated.

Okay.

And I do splurge once in a while.

That's all you need to.

Yeah.

And I did not eat the whole thing.

I ate half of it.

That is it.

But if you all know what I'm talking about is the chicken bake from Costco when you

go to their little cafeteria.

And I don't think there's one good thing in there for you.

It is a complete dopamine hit.

Chicken's healthy.

It is.

You put all the other shit in it.

Yes.

A lot of things are healthy until you fuck them up.

And I'm sure it's the highest quality chicken Lurch.

Oh, absolutely.

Farm raised, you know, free range chicken is what I should say.

I'm sure.

No steroids.

Probably the worst chicken in the known demand.

Big ass bread, cheesy, but every bite's delicious.

Anyways, our new assistant store manager, Javon Burke, his wife stopped by and

she's Katie sweetheart, Katie.

And she brought those for us and Javon's out working right now and

we're podcasting in the office, but we took a break and I did partake.

And then on top of it, she got us paninis.

I could not even, even after a half a chicken,

there's no way I can indulge in the panini,

but we have them for backup for another lunch sometime.

So we're very appreciative.

It was awesome.

And it gave me a reason to splurge here on this Friday and have a half a

chicken bacon Lurch got introduced to the crack cocaine.

Yeah, I never had one.

It was delicious.

Yeah.

And I can only do three quarters of mine.

Yeah.

Which normally I could crush pretty much everything,

but it's a lot of bread.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

It's very filling.

That's for sure.

So if either of us passes out while we're podcasting here,

that is the reason, but we're very appreciative.

It's a lot of fun.

Yeah.

And it was delish.

That is why I stopped eating them because I just know I'm like,

Oh my God.

I used to love to get to Costco dogs,

but man, you burp those things up for another horrible thing.

And there's some channels that break what they're using.

Okay.

It's all lips and assholes.

Once in a while, once in a while splurge, but now I might have to

splurge on the chicken bake.

Now they know what those are.

I haven't had a Costco dog in probably 10 years.

And I haven't had a chicken bacon eight years.

I just backed out of the Costco pizza.

Backed out all that stuff, but it is delicious.

There's no doubt that it's delicious.

All right.

So we got some business to take care of hog works.

Of course builds motorcycle parts.

The way bikers want them clean fit quality finish and customer

service that actually answers.

We run their gear on our hearties because we trust it guys.

Check out our full selection of hog works products and the

law-abiding biker store.

Remember, if you don't see it, we can still get it for you.

And no tax to feel outside Washington free shipping over

$100 savings to be had.

You just got to hit us up on the contact form and throw

us a part number and what you want.

And we can get their lickety split to you.

We're trying to add more of their products to our website,

but that just takes a lot of time.

We are getting more custom orders.

And oftentimes when somebody asks us for something,

it then spurs us to make the listing right there.

And so yeah, let us know.

Hog works making some really, really cool stuff.

One of the new things alerts that I saw in my feed last

night and I want to get one for my bike is the,

they're making the color matched radiator covers.

Yeah.

I just saw that.

Yep.

We need to get those added.

We're going to add those, but if you want one,

it's that big plastic piece on your 24 and newer that

covers your radiator.

It just pops up in rubber grommets.

Super easy install.

They'll paint match it color.

What a way to increase the aesthetics of your bike.

And we can get it for you.

All you got to do is tell us what color and we'll

get it ordered up ASAP and get it to you.

You'll be supporting us.

And of course, we may spur us to add it to the

store quicker.

So there you go.

That's what's, that's what's going on.

You want to ride longer?

You know it.

Tired of a store naked ass?

Always.

Fix it with a high quality butt buffer seat cushion.

Head over to lawbindingbiker.com for such

store.

Check out our full line of butt buffer seat cushions

and hopefully adding some new models here soon.

Just some different colors, a few extra options.

The lurch has got something out here,

which we'll talk about here in a minute.

Hey by colleagues.

So 3d has a wide variety of innovative products for

your early Davidson and a brand new line for the

all new Honda Goldwing named gold strike quality,

affordable chrome lighting and comfort products.

Gold strike are the motorcycle LED lighting innovators

for campus plug and play system compatibility.

Head over to lawbindingbiker.com for such store.

Check out our full line of zero 3d products.

And I will say we just dropped this morning.

It's out in the wild.

It is a very thorough video on zero 3d wiring.

And we basically go over if you're new to

the zero 3d ecosystem, especially on the 24 and newer

because they changed the wiring, new BCM and stuff like that.

There's just some considerations when you're shopping

in the lawbindingbiker store for zero products that you

want to take into consideration such as,

am I going to want full functionality and programmable?

What do I need for that?

And then there's some different products discussed,

but I'll give you a really good understanding when you

go to order like, okay, how do I want to build this

out?

Do I want expandability in the future?

Do I want programmable features via my smart phone?

Very detailed video, very thorough.

And it dropped on the YouTube channel.

So I head over to the YouTube channel.

Lurch will also put it in the show notes.

And I suppose it'll probably be embedded in the store

under the light strike commander and standard adapter.

I suppose under those particular products,

if you scroll to the bottom, but it is out in the wild.

And so, yeah, go check that out.

Lurch has got some new, adding products rapidly to the law

bindingbiker store.

You want to talk about a few things here.

Yeah, as of the recording of this video,

we just released a live on our...

Recording this podcast.

What'd I say?

Video.

Oh, well, thank you.

But I know what you meant, I think.

Yeah, thank you for correcting me.

I didn't know when I said that.

At the time we're recording this podcast,

we just released a video on this item.

It is a brake fluid tester.

We, in our maintenance video and in our video,

just on how to flush your brake and or clutch.

We have two videos, one for clutch, one for brake.

We show you a tester, but we've finally sourced them

and now we've got them ourselves in our store.

We're selling a very good one that has everything you need

and none of the shit you don't need.

So if you're not aware,

your brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air,

even though that's a sealed system,

you don't think that liquid can get in there.

It does over time.

And so you don't want to over, I think, four...

3.7% bivalve in moisture.

And really, honestly, if you start getting over 2%,

you really should think about changing your fluid.

What happens if you get moisture in your fluid

is that fluid can expand,

get hot and expand, turn into gas

and it softens your brake pedal

and you can get complete failure too.

So this thing is a very reasonably priced tester.

Sub 10 dollars.

Yeah.

And it's one of the best things you can do for your safety too

on your bike when you're doing maintenance

is make sure that all your fluids are,

your brake fluid is working so that you can stop, right?

So we've got that in the store now.

One more thing on that is on the brake fluid tester guys

is it's super simple to just pop your reservoir cap

and you just stick two probes in

and it has a light, a dummy lights that tell you

whether you've changed it or don't change it basically.

Yeah.

Based on what level.

And there's a lot of knockoffs on Amazon and eBay.

They are not the same.

That's the difference between our stores.

We vet, we try stuff.

It's the one we put in our toolbox.

And yeah, it makes it,

even if you're not going to do your own maintenance,

we show you how to,

if you go to that brake fluid tester

on the store scroll to the bottom,

there's two videos there.

One very detailed how to flush your brake fluid

and one on your clutch.

Because the clutch side,

if you didn't know the hydraulic clutch

is used the brake fluid.

It's the same exact dot for brake fluid.

So, and they flush the same way.

That's what we do different than everybody else online.

And the different stores and stuff is

not only get the tester,

but you got a video.

And if you can't do your own maintenance,

at least you can test your fluid yourself.

And then when you take it in the shop,

you know, they're not fooling.

You can say, yeah,

I actually tested it with my own tester

and it definitely needs to be flushed.

So go ahead and flush it mechanic.

You can tell them that.

And with that,

what it just skipped to the last one.

I don't want to promote the other one yet

because we do,

those are about 40 days out.

Okay.

Perfect.

Yeah.

Axel nut covers.

And actually we're sitting in the law

biting biker store in Ryan's office right now

doing this podcast.

We do some from down here

and just looked over on the shelf

and saw these bad boys.

And they are figure,

Roddy Axel nut covers

and they're coming all the colors.

That's all the other stuff comes in.

Of course,

I'm looking at some gold ones

because Ryan like it to gold

on the newer bikes.

They're pretty slick.

They just pop in.

So there's really no install.

You pop it over your actual net.

It goes in.

Yeah.

It goes into the space on both sides.

Yeah.

Cause the 24 newer is a little bit different.

But man,

that is sexy.

What we'd expect from figure,

Roddy guys.

And this is so sexy.

These are going to my bike.

I'm currently at the front wheel off it.

But as soon as I get it back on these,

we're going to do a video on it.

But yeah,

it's not even a beer install.

I would make it a beer install.

But,

Well, of course,

you got all the different seven colors

that match the dipsticks.

Of course.

And the figure,

Roddy dipsticks,

magnetic dipsticks,

which we highly recommend.

Then we just pop the oil filter video,

which blew up and we're selling the bejesus

out of the reusable magnetic oil filters.

So you can coordinate.

You can basically coordinate Lurch.

And so I'm going to coordinate with

gold axle nut covers.

I've got my gold reusable magnetic

figure,

Roddy filter.

I've got my gold engine,

magnetic oil dipstick from figure,

Roddy.

And then of course,

my PSR Anthem pro adjustable lovers.

I've got the gold ends on those.

So yeah,

she's looking like some bling,

bling bike going down the road,

high roller style.

The ones that we're looking at here in

the store and we're talking about are

for the 24 newer bikes,

but we also,

and they're available in the performance

aluminum so you can get all the colors.

But fear not,

if you've got a pre 24 bike,

there are axle nut covers

for those bikes as well.

But they're just stainless steel.

And they're either black,

nor old or silver,

because they actually go over the nut

and then you use a set screw to hold them on.

Roddy.

Nice.

Yeah.

Awesome stuff guys.

Way to dress up your bike.

And with those are purely aesthetics,

of course,

but the oil filters and the magnetic dipstick

are aesthetics is just the first

part of them.

Their functionality and the way they

protect your motor and grab all those

ferrous metals out of there

is just the icing

on the cake,

I will say.

Lurch,

why don't you go ahead and talk

about the,

are we coming up to the deadline of the

patron member meetup?

We still got another month.

Yeah.

I got mail.

This is from James Nash.

He's talking about the stealth port

Now that I have one, I don't know why I ever lived without it.

Well said, man, a few words

and I appreciate that very much.

It's just right to the point.

I agree very much.

I love products like this that just solve a problem.

Yep. Easy peasy.

Solve a problem and they just work

and they're affordable. That's why we

shipping an assload daily.

We just got a buttload of...

A few new models too.

We'll be working on that here shortly

and we just got several hundred of them delivered

yesterday.

Nice. We've got them in stock, guys.

Get them. Solves the problem.

Letting that fricking charging

SAE connector to dangle around

everywhere and get corroded and nasty

and melt on your exhaust.

Go check them out in the store.

We did a video on it too.

If you're new to the stealth port, it's something that every biker

now that knows about them is like, yep,

there's some products that are just like,

yep, that's definitely

no brainer. One of those

no brainer products

for sure.

Welcome back

you freaking biker holics. This is the podcast

for the Motorcycle Majority.

The big M.M. also known as the 99%

large

charge and motorcycle scene by being here

by listening to part of what we call the hashtag

biker revolution. We have one question

before we get started.

What are you waiting for? Bike holics, mount up

and let us take you on another wild-ass ride.

Ryan Urlacher here, host of the law-abiding biker podcast

and your high-tech redneck

couple new free videos coming out

crazy like on the YouTube channel

putting out more content than ever

to help as many bikers as we can

worldwide and what are some

of those new free videos lurch?

What are the ways to make your Harley Davidson cable clutch

great again?

And we go through all the different ways

that you can improve your cable clutch.

Harley in 2018 on the soft tails

and 21 on the touring bikes went back

to the cable clutch and it is

it's lackluster to say the least.

We both are coming off

of Rushmore Bikes

and had that both had the hydraulic clutch

and man what a superior system

a hydraulic clutch is.

It engages at the same point all the time

you don't have to adjust it you just ride it

until it wears out then you put a new clutch in

but Harley went back

to the cable and on these newer bikes

they have

a plastic Bowdoin connector

in the pre

14 bikes with 13 and older they actually had

metal cable housings

clutch cable housings and metal adjusters

this new one it's plastic

so the cable housing is plastic and the adjuster

is this auto manual as we call it

adjuster that you

pull a pin basically

a button and it releases tension because there's a spring

in there sets the

the adjuster on the

cable and you don't really

it's really difficult to customize it

meaning you know make the

clutch engage where you want off the grip

so there's options

to replace that cable housing

and that metal adjuster we've got

fat baggers options

and what it does is it just smooths

your cable clutch out makes it much

more linear and

feels a lot better and you can also adjust it

to get it to engage right off the grip

if you want and then we have

an upper clutch cable if you want to do that

there's another option and then you can go with like the

Mueller if you want to the Mueller 2.0

or the original Mueller

and the 2.0 version

you replace the clutch ramp

and clutch facilitator which reduces

the pull force needed

to pull in the clutch by about 45%

unbelievable it is amazing

it almost feels like it's not working at first

when you first grab it it's that big of a difference

and then that 2.0

comes with a metal clutch adjuster

and cable housing so

Ryan goes through all those options and shows you how you can

make your clutch cable

your cable clutch great again and we are the

preferred

reseller of the Mueller power clutch

in North America we work

directly with Mueller because we understand

that we know it we answer questions we install it

we back it and

we're also not only the preferred but the

number one reseller of

the Mueller power clutch in fact for the past

almost year we're the only ones in North America

that has stock of them and we always have

stock of them a lot of the other

stores list them online even the big boys they don't have

them we do because we are the preferred

reseller and the

next video is Krause easy shift for Harley

Davidson the ultimate fix for hard to

find neutral this is another one

of those really cool products it seems so simple

but it definitely solves a

problem

especially on the newer bikes in the M8 bikes

you'll find that neutral can be really hard to find

and what this does

is it's a device that mounts on

to your rear shift lever

and puts the

shift linkage in a little bit

better

Ergon, not ergonomics

just better position

kind of flattens it out so it's not moving at an angle

and it not only does it

make it easier to find neutral

and shift through the gears much

smoother it's a crazy

it's crazy all I can think is it just

makes that linkage

move back and forth better changes the leverage

point yeah it's just amazing

and yeah it just makes the whole

shifting experience premium we've got it for twin

cam, twin cam bikes and

M8 black or machine finish

we are the number one reseller

of those in North America too

because we know them we use them we back

them it is a one beer install

go over to the easy shift

this is directly the article and video

but if you're just listening

and you just want to go to it you can just go to

easy shift, Krauscare

a US easy shift

in our store scroll to the bottom of any of those listings

and there's the detailed video not only

at the amazing

piece of hardware that it is

but also how to install

anybody can do it takes one

tool and a beer made in America

yeah with American

aluminum built aluminum

very nice we love back in the USA

made products and Kraus is making

some great stuff and we're proud to

we're proud to be the number one reseller

of the easy shift

now we love our

you know

everybody that shops in the store supports us

and all that but this is also

a huge foundation we mentioned

that we've mentioned before that we

pulled ads from our website articles

with every video comes a very

detailed website article so if you like to

read and watch the video it's there

for you but this is one way

there's many ways that the patron members

of law binding biker media

support us and that's one

way that we were able to try to

rely on the patron membership

fees to offset

the cost of the revenue we're losing by not

putting

all those ads that kind of muddy

up a website and so these are three of the

newest patron members Lurch wants to mention

George Hibbs of Goddard, Kansas

Joe Cornwell of Matthews

North Carolina and Glare

Gary McLaughlin of Camillus

New York

thank you thank you thank you

seriously from the bottom of our hearts for getting

signed up as a patron member it's very easy

to do you just sign up for a monthly

Washington state and free shipping over a hundred bucks

we're almost paying you

we're giving it to you

deals to be had

so thank you so much for everybody

that's a patron member but for actually

taking the leap instead of just sitting back

and all that kind of stuff you're you play

an active role in what

we can provide and what we can do in this podcast

is one of them you're supporting

our ability to continue to put out

information and help

the biker community

so let's dive

into our main topic today

and that's so we did an episode

we basically

I went over to the east coast

recently and

just before well during daytona

bike week

Harley flew me over there

we rode i-road from south carolina

through georgia a couple days

and ended up in daytona bike week

Harley provided a 2026 limited

that video is out on the channel again

we did a podcast on it diving in just a

little bit deeper it's a complete

review of not only that trip that i did

with Harley Davidson but also

my complete review of the

26 limited and what you need to know

as a consumer so I strongly encourage

you to listen to that episode

and go watch the video on the youtube channel

where we ended up on that episode

the youtube video shows the whole

thing but where we ended up on the podcast

episode is basically

i-road for multiple days

i flew lurch

on the company dime here

over Harley didn't fly him over

but the company dime flew him over there to

meet me because I wanted him there

well number one to get some warmer weather

number two neither of us have experienced

daytona bike week before and number three

I really wanted to cover and you'll see that

in my video how I covered not only

the trip there but daytona bike week

itself as we had a lot of

obligations around there I was still there for Harley

technically but that actually ended

and I was able to do some of my own stuff

to while we're there because

it stayed we did an extended

stay but anyways

it was nice to get out of the

cold weather back here where we live

in washington state and it was

pretty fair weather over in daytona

and again it was our first

time so we're going to give you our perspective

here's the deal by colics hog works

is built around two things writers actually

care about high quality parts

and customer service that stands behind

them that's why they become a go to

for hardy davidson and indian after

market upgrades and we're not just talking here

we run hog works parts on our own

bikes because we want gear that

fits right looks right and holds up

in the real world if you want to upgrade with confidence

check out the wide array of hog

works products we proudly carry in the law

biting biker store grab what you need

and get back to riding and if you don't

see it in our store hit us up on our contact

form because we'd love to get it

headed your way kind of what we

learn what we think about it our opinions

and

I'm going to talk about the stuff obligations that I had

there one will talk about

king of the baggers it was race one daytona

is the kickoff of the king of the baggers season

we had yeah we'll tell you

about that we had some passes to get access

I had a special

event with hardy to go test ride the new trikes

with the new suspension that came out

and twenty six here

unbelievable there was a course

and they took us off the course and out on the road

and then we went on of course

main street in daytona

we were hanging around we were there for multiple days

and so that's what we're going to talk about in this

episode

so with that said

I roll in two daytona

day two and

lurch is

has flying in that day as I'm riding out of

from jackal island georgia which we stayed

with a bunch of other creators and we're riding the twenty six

limited we roll in

the weather wasn't that great right in south but

when we got into daytona it was

pretty damn good weather

it was sunny and clear and definitely a lot

warmer so it was nice to finally be

I kind of got my thoughts together review the bike

now I will tell you

that I got to keep that twenty six

limited

throughout the trip so the predicament

becomes is

lurch is at the hotel

where we're going to stay

and there's parking there for

you know my twenty six limited

and I'm going to keep that and ride that around

but the next morning

we got to get lurch a bike

we had squared away I talked to the hearty

rep and said hey I'm flying lurch in

he's I want to really run a really

film and capture the daytona bike we

can hardly stuff

and I'm like can we get him a bike

can we get him a twenty six limited for himself

and hearty rep hooked

us up we're very happy

about that so we were

over closer to main street

where we stayed and

lurch is bike is

out at the international

daytona international speedway

and so

in true

well first of all I go are we going to

uber over to get my bike

hey we're going to uber over to get my bike

like no you're riding too up

fuck yeah we're at bike event dude

are you serious yeah

we're doing it we're not proud yeah

it happened it happened it did

happen and so

lurch jumped on the back with me

and we rode it was actually really fun

and we joked a lot about it

yeah I

you know as a rider myself I'm not

normally a passenger it's very rare

if ever but I

had no reservations jumping on with you obviously

but I do

once I got over the fact that I was sitting

on the back of the bike and like what do I hold

on to because I'm not my wiener

yeah I'm not wrapping my arms around your waist

and hold on to you once I got

comfortable back there I see why

um like my wife in particular I can't speak

for all passengers but my wife loves

to ride and she's always she always sees

all kinds of wildlife and all kinds of cool things

and now I know why when you're sitting on the back

back there you got no care in the world yeah just

look around and check stuff out especially even

being taller yeah you're well helmet

even if I stop quick your helmet won't even hit

my helmet because you're taller so just

that's in the video we got some good

footage of it rode over the bridge

you ride over the bridge over the water

to get over to international speedway

and uh they're low and behold

uh we met our hearty reps over there

they had a big booth over there

this year they had

well the trike course was big

of course they've got their police motors over there

they do their shows and all that

um but they had the trike course too

they were kind of doing both on that

and uh

um and lurch got his uh

course would you choose well I it wasn't

an option I was just giving the bike oh no

I told him what you wanted oh did you

yeah and then you know I told you I was getting

I asked you and you said tell him see if

they can get me a roguelite so I'll get you a roguelite

so I guess that was correct so I did

ask for that but I didn't specify a color

as it turns out uh

you had a purple abyss and vivid black

street glide limited and what was waiting

for me a purple abyss

and black roguelite so it looked

like twins riding around all week

we were matching so

we rode on the bike together and then we had matching

purple rain bikes yes

and uh yeah and we're not

proud and we're very happy

I think most people thought we were just a couple we just

blend right in dude

uh so lurch got his bike which was

really cool so now we're free right so

now we're like okay we did have some obligations

but it's nice to be in Daytona Bike Week

the beautiful weather the beach the ocean

and we got some fucking bikes and uh

we can ride around and we can kind of do

what we want so um

this particular day

I do have to tell the story

now I rode out

of we set it on another

podcast because I was busting lurch's balls

but I want to tell the story again

so first world problem

because we get very

adapted to our environments and we

become

we yeah we just become one with our environment

I guess is what I'm saying

very adaptable humans and

we pull out here we are

I just rode two days on a

26 limited that Harley

gave me we got lurch

a hookup on a

26 limited

we ride out of the speedway

we come to the first main road

where we're going to pull out and we got our headsets

paired

and here's what I hear in my helmet

well

well I wish I could uh

I wish I could have a bike with an extended

seat and I could really use my

uh I could really use my

uh extended brake pedal and

uh you know the windshield would be

nice if I could have a different windshield

and I mean this color is okay

and I'm just like I think I responded

I'm like dude

you just got a fucking free bike from

Hardy Davidson in Daytona shut the fuck

up and we were just laughing but I get

what he was saying but it is funny

to bust his chops on that because

I was like oh my god dude are you seriously already complaining

we're not even out on the road

I was not complaining I was just saying

no but you see it's just funny because

the way it came up I'm like I did I last

I was like first world problem dude

what I was meaning is the products

that we sell and use are

are valuable and

I wish I had them with me on

that trip just to get the bike a little more comfortable

for me because I am above

average size it is true

uh but yeah you guys get it we had

to have fun with that I'm like oh my god dude

you got flowing today Tony you got given a free

bike and the first words out of his mouth

or just complaints about the bike

but we had fun without the rest of the weekend

opportunities for improvement there you go

there you go so uh

yeah that's what I mean by we just become we

tend to forget I do the same thing

you forget you're like sometimes I have to pinch myself

too uh because we get

access to a lot of stuff and you forget you're like

oh yeah that's right and maybe

I'll wait to complain

I'm just gonna ride this for a minute this free

brand new 26 limited

from Hardy Davidson but uh

yeah Lurch talked about in the

last episode I talked about my impressions of

the 26 and Lurch got to ride it all around too

so if you want to get his impressions on the bike

for a taller rider he definitely had some

great uh input

into that in the last episode so

check that episode out

so I want to say Lurch this

day what obligation

do we have we rode down um we were gonna

oh we did go out so we decided

to go from there I remember

we we went back to the hotel didn't we

there was at the day we ended up

for a short time at Teddy Morse yes the

short time yeah so we went out we

had to be back by a certain time

um to the same

location at the Speedway for the trike

deal that I had signed up for with

Harley and

it gets pretty packed in Daytona

bike week obviously

and getting back and forth to Ted

Morse can take a little destination Harley can

take a little while

um so we got out there

to at least

experience it a little bit right

we actually pick up the bikes went and

grab coffee at Starbucks oh that's what we did we

work for a while and then we

Ted Morse I remember when you were

complaining about the stuff we were turning right

and going back towards Daytona

so okay that's why we did that

yeah and then we headed up

and it is Teddy Morse I just want to make sure

Ted Ted is it what is it Ted Morris

I keep saying Ted Teddy Morse

whatever right so make sure

I'm saying it right do you know

Ted Morris is

well do you know yes I do I already

looked it up so spell it

M-O-R-S-E

positive yes okay Ted

Morse's yep Harley Davidson

I don't know why I always

have that as a as a

yeah Teddy Morse it's not Ted

it's Teddy that's what I thought

Ted okay so sorry all you

people that have been there and

um I forget Teddy Morris is

Daytona Harley Davidson

destination Daytona

basically it's basically a

complex if you haven't been there

the dealerships there but

because it's been such a big event for so many

years they

have expanded

and there's just shit everywhere

and you know

a ton of the vendors are up there a ton of the

you know aftermarket products

the dealership food vendors

music drinks beer bikes

all that you can think of

in this very large complex

so to speak that you can walk

I do want to go back stunt riders

stunt riders we got to see the stunt

riders that was really cool

but we kind of got there a little bit

late we had some

some of our

manufacturers were resellers for their

products and so we needed to make some

contacts while we were take advantage of this

plus see everybody

I do want to say you know between

Daytona and

the dealership here

just we had a lot of people take

the time to stop recognize

us obviously and say hi

and shake our hands

we'll just get that out of the way

and we're very thankful for everybody that

did that that supports the

podcast the YouTube channel

we're kind of OG's in the space obviously and so

people taking the time to come up and say hi

and I had stickers I was prepared

shook a lot of hands talked to a lot of people

handed out stickers thank you guys we really

do appreciate that

we get locked away

here doing podcast and videos from afar

and so whenever we get the chance

to actually mingle with the biker community

that we serve

is always a pleasure for us and so

I'll say thank you with that

but we had limited time

we got we had to experience a little bit

we shot some preliminary footage

but then we had to bug out

because we had to be

back to

the international

speedway

for the trike event I do want to

say

actually we'll get to the history of Daytona later

I did a little bit of history on it

in my video kind of

I didn't know how it started so I looked up some of that stuff

but let's go back

and so we barely got back in time

we may have

exceeded the speed limit

quite a bit on the way back

I don't know what you're talking about

to get there

in time

because I need to be there

oh yeah that VVT

you have to put it to the test a little bit

we got back to

the speedway

and there's the course set up now

I'm not going to get in too much depth

the video does a little bit better job

but in a nutshell

basically what they had

is they had an older trike which was a 25

then they had the brand new 26

now Harley for years

has been in research and development

and the production

of a completely overhauled

rear suspension

for their trike lineup and they finally

dropped it on the 26 models

which across the board

got updated with the new fairing

designed the infotainment control unit

the new platform if you will and so

they took us creators a group of us

and

basically the course was what they wanted you to experience

you first got on the old trike and they had speed bumps

out there and some cones

to turn around and turn through

and then some of the speed bumps

you wouldn't hit with all your tires

so a trike two on the back one on the front

you might be going around a corner

and they had it set up where you would just hit

like your left rear wheel over the bump

and they really wanted you to experience

that old suspension

and

it threw you around around. I want to tell you guys

I had never ridden a trike before

so that's also why I signed up for this

I really wanted to be involved

and so I got to ride the trike

in its old form

and no shit

those things going over that course

and I went over it pretty fast

in fact I think I was supposed to stop

at one point. You were supposed to

and I think you can even see in the video

the guy doing the demonstration wanted you to stop

he had some type of input

he wanted to give you and you just blew right by

I know and I felt bad I didn't mean to do it

but I blew by him because I had already seen

other people do it so I was just like I'm going

and the other guy didn't care

and being a motors officer and just being a law enforcement officer

you've been in a lot of cones

so your natural instinct isn't

lock on to go through

so you're just doing what you naturally do

I know the path I know the path here

but I did it quite a bit of speed

the guys were laughing some of them were like holy shit

they had it set up so that you would hit

like you said you're left for a tire

and then right after that you're right for a tire

they're offset so some of them hit

at the same time some were one

than the other but it really put that

suspension to the test

and with the older bikes

how much

how much suspension they have a couple of inches

not a lot without being

too specific it's a couple it's

maybe close to three and

it's more of a solid axle so you hit

you hit a

bump with your left tire it throws that

left side up in the air

yeah it really did and it throws you

back and forth in the seat it's very violent

yes it is and you'll see

my video Lurch was filming me

that's one of the reasons he was down there obviously

and it threw you around and so then

right after that you jump on

a 26 strike with

the new rear suspension

and go through that same course and I'm just going to tell you

in biker terms

it is night and

day suspension

it's not independent rear suspension but it's about

as close as you can get it acts like it

yeah yeah so I'm just going to tell you a little

bit about it but

basically what it's about

so this is not fully independent

rear suspension but Harley's

new deity on style setup

combined with a what's Lincoln and dual

shocks and a sway bar makes

it behave much more like one than the old

design ever did

the rear real travel on the new trikes jumps

from 2.3 inches to 5 inches

which is about a 117%

increase and Harley also reduced

unsprung weight significantly

on the road that translates to a trike

that feels far less harsh

and more confidence inspiring this is for my

article guys

I will say yeah

it's what they did

and I'll say this

I said it in my video

Harley with this particular

if you're a trike rider

and you

don't want to spend money

don't even go don't even

don't sit on it do not move it

I'm telling you Harley

these things are going to be backed up I don't

even know if they'll produce enough this year

because if you take any trike rider

whatsoever

and they get off their trike and then test ride

one of these especially if you go have

any kind of bump course for

you'll just be like bend over

and

how much do I owe you?

because it's that significantly

different guys it is that significantly

different and I say that also because then

we got to go out on the road

and Harley reps took all of us around

some road and there are

at least some curves

around Daytona Speedway some back roads

because it's so flat over there

and so straight but we did hit

some curves and out on the road

that translates and they took us

over some really shitty roads I could tell

it was purposely some back neighborhoods

and some potholes and weird

shit but even fast

guys I could not

believe how fast I was up

front luckily with one of the reps that's a really

good rider and I always try to get behind

him because he'll take me fast

and we fucking push some

corners I cannot believe

how well that trike

how fast I could go

through those corners now

it's still a trike and so

there is still a ton more

required input on the bars because

instead of leaning you're actually turning

the bike and the faster you go

the harder you have to yank the bars to get

through that corner I mean you're putting in a lot of

input that is one of the downfalls

to a trike but there's so many benefits

to him admittedly

I will tell you from muscle memory

and being a motors police motors officer

for so many years I'm not afraid

to admit that that's how trained I am because I

was on an awful bike so much that at the

first two lights

I put my feet down I did

and I realized it on my video and I'm like

okay that's funny and

there's people behind me I'm sure they were laughing

I put my feet up I go it is

I will tell you it is really nice sitting at lights

being able to take your hands and just

kick put them up on your legs and you know

to put your feet down you don't have to balance it

it's just kind of relaxing

I also admittedly will tell you

that when I got back to the speedway after I ride

I immediately put my left foot down

and started looking for the kickstand to put the kickstand down

realizing after a few seconds that

there was no kickstand and that I did not need

that but that is what muscle memory does

to you but

very very pleasant experience

for somebody that's in the market for a trike again

if you're trying to save money

I'm telling you do not go ride one

as it is that significantly

different and Harley

just knocked it out of the park

because Indian doesn't offer a trike

and if you want this style American made

v twin type deal

you are without

getting some aftermarket kit which

usually aren't nearly as good

this is new age

of trikes

for Harley Davidson

alright

so we left the speedway

and after the trike event

what did we do that night we just kind of went back

I think we just we were so tired

did we go

we didn't go back to destination that night

we went back to the hotel

Harley was having their dinner

with the traditional media

they invited us to come in

and join as well

we had a dinner and a bunch of the creators were there

we were separated off over on the side

yeah

exactly

what Harley does

and I said this in the last podcast

they're still traditional media

but obviously YouTubers have taken that over

and

so we left South Carolina

a day or two before

tradition

and when we say traditional media we're like your typical motor journalist

that everybody used to rely on before

YouTube

that's really shifted heavily

in the industry where YouTube is kind of taken over

that YouTube influencers and reviewers and stuff

but the traditional media is still there

and so they'll come in

they came in like two days behind us

so they rode the same route we did

and kind of got there and so this is where

I guess this is the night that they ended up arriving

and all the influencers

were there that I rode with

all the YouTube channels

influencers weird to say sometimes

but all the YouTube channels that I rode with

and we all had dinner

and kind of networked and all that kind of stuff

back at the hotel

so I guess the next day

is the day

I'm pulling all this from

memory is

did we go to King of the Baggers

and then yes we did

guys if you're not following King of the Baggers

I have been to King of the Baggers in person

now I watch it on Moto America

I follow it closely and I love it

and I'm telling you

you got to get involved with it

it's an amazing thing to watch

and a lot of R&D is coming out of it

it's been really good for the sport

it's been really good for the industry

for American made V-Twin

both Indian

and their own right

of course Kyle Wyman

factory rider

sport in the number one plate for the 2020 season

as he took the 2025 championship

so a lot on the line there

and Daytona always kicks off

the first race of the King of the Baggers season

it's an interesting track

for bikes

and

I've been down to Laguna Seca before

for the race Harley back when I tested the

23.5 CVO

second part of that was getting to go to King of the Baggers

and pre-season practice

out in Arizona

so I've got to spend a lot of time around these bikes

and some other access

and it's just so fun the smell of race fuel

the energy

but we had press passes and some inside

access that Hardy Davidson provided us

so we got right down to

we got to get to the paddock

and then all the way down into pit lane

and really

the tensions were high

there at the speedway

a bunch of changes with the teams

you know

with Vance and Heinz

leaving Hardy Davidson and bumping over to Indian

you got the

and then you got some new riders

I'm trying to remember Carl Wyman

Bradley Smith

and Raspoli

and then we got Gillem

for Indian factory

factory, Gillem, Rocko Landers

and then you might have to look it up

while I'm talking I can't remember the third rider

but Indian coming out

swinging this year obviously

they're touting that it's their 125th anniversary

I think it's going to be Troy Herfos

oh it is Troy Herfos, yeah my bad

I don't know how I forgot

in my head I go it's a name I know

no you're totally right, yeah I don't know how I forgot him

so those are your factory riders for Indian

and all just unbelievable

riders and then of course

Raspoli also racing for Hooligans

which we're going to get more into this year

I love the big bikes

it was heating up, it was fun

it was heating up

and so Lurch's first time in person

which is always cool

there's benefits to watching online

but you just got experience

what did you think of the first race there

you were right down at Pit Lane with me

yes we had media passes so we got access to everything

but I also noticed that you can

do a fan experience

and get not quite as unfettered access as we had

but you will be able to go into the paddock area

they'll take you out

in this particular instance

at Daytona they took them out there

and they are all standing around the bikes as they're getting ready to go

and I mean you're just inches away from the riders

and then they'll bring you back

off of the racetrack and behind the wall

as they take off and then you move on

so there is access you can

get if you want to do that fan experience

but it was very

impressive

the sound that those baggers

make it's amazing

there's been a woody

and especially on that track

because they're coming around

towards the finish line

the famous bank corner

they're wide open

and it's just impressive to watch

I mean

just even when they fire up

and get ready to take off

when they took off from the starting line

you can feel it

it is palpable

it was a very fun experience

interesting

it was just a few years ago

when I was saying we were at Daytona

we were shitting our pants because

these bikes

these full baggers

were reaching speeds of 165 miles an hour

this year

this advanced so quickly this sport

these bikes

on the famous Daytona bank corner

were approaching speeds of

190 miles

per fucking hour dude

on a full bagger

is that MPFHs?

yeah it is

MPFKs

MPFHs

there you go

but it's intense

and I was right up

and you can see the stress

I was right up next to the riders

Kyle

and I was getting some film of him as he took off his glasses and his hat

and you can just see the focus

it's fucking go time

and that energy

is unbelievable

fun to watch on TV

because they're following the race around

but it's a completely different experience when you're there

and that track in particular is a little bit different

because it's so large

and we were at

it was kind of hard to see everything

but there is stands that you can sit in

and watch the whole race

yeah plenty of opportunity for that

yeah like I said

there's benefits to both on TV at least you get to follow it

but you got to hear it like Lurch says

and feel it and smell it

to really appreciate it

you'll appreciate it more when you watch it on TV then

you'll get it

you'll get how powerful these bikes are

and the innovations and what they're doing

like I said up to approaching 190mph

that's just mind blowing

but yeah we had to spend the day there

and Hooligans were fully I believe took the

Indian had a good weekend

they took the podium

race one and two

for the King of the Baggers

looked like Harley swept up on Hooligans

but that's just Daytona guys

Daytona since I've been watching King of the Baggers

Indian always has

just a very slight advantage

on Daytona because

it's not as a technical course

it's a very

how much do you have

and on that straight away

they just get hardly a little bit

but that all changes after Daytona

every year usually Indian

now Kyle's won at Daytona a few times

some mistakes by Herfoss when Herfoss

first came on the scene

some rider mistakes but

it's always Indian just inches him just a little bit

but on the rest of the tracks

that's not really the case as we've seen Kyle

kind of swept up last year

I'm curious to see how Indian does

the rest of this year with any partnership

with Terry Vance

he knows what he's doing

especially like I say they're touting

their 125th anniversary year

whether you agree with that or not

not getting into that I'm just telling you what they're saying

and that's not really up to me

but yeah

a lot of big things going on and it's going to be a tough

and Gillum he's such a good racer

and so is Herfoss

and Kyle's a great

all the riders it is going to be

an exciting, exciting season

so we left there

and we ended up

with Teddy Morse's

destination Daytona

so that we could meet some of the

manufacturers that we need to shake hand

we met more people we want to make sure we covered

the entire grounds

stunt riders were there that was cool

anything else about Teddy Morse

big ass dealership

a lot of bikes for sale

yeah just a ton of bikes and there's also

a big pavilion they had set up

with tables and there's food trucks

around so there was food to be had

drink to be had lots of vendors

everything you can think of got the opportunity

to meet Al and Debbie

of Stealthport

that was nice to finally

physically meet them in person

what a great product and they did really

well so

then we went around and met a lot of the other vendors

it was nice so we're going to figure out

some of our hog works who's a sponsor of us

got to hang out with them for a little bit

yeah I just kind of

experienced there we didn't stay late

we felt like we had experienced it

but definitely if you're in Daytona Bike Week

it's a must stop go up there

get a drink get you know

some food whatever lots of stuff to buy

now all the vendors

have their stuff out there

yeah and

I think after that it was time to

bug out at Teddy Morse that was really

I think this day

trikes was huge

and then

we wanted our obligations

basically after trikes King of the Baggers

trikes and then King of the Baggers

my obligations with Harley were done

and then it was that's all they

a lot of the creators actually flew out

even before the race

they I

booked Lurch and I a VRBO

for an extended stay

because we just wanted to wind down

and also just experienced some for myself

without with my own obligations

without you know obligations of Harley

I kind of met all those

and we felt like we had really seen the area

but there was one

more thing

that we kind of put off till the

last night right the shit show

the shit show

Main Street Main Street

I'll let Lurch we walked up

and down you'll see it in the video

I got a lot of shots

give me your impressions

yeah because let's just

put it in this perspective Main Street

is the hub of

the event everything else has

expanded over the years little history

Daytona started

basically if I

have it in here

I put it in my video right there dates back to

1937 yeah where you

seen it right there

down above the picture

this picture yeah so

Daytona bike week dates back to 1937

and today it serves as the

unofficial kickoff the writing season of course Main Street

is where people from all over the world all walks of life

come together in one packed energetic

stretch of road it's a lot to

take in it's something every writer should experience at least once

I will tell you it actually started

Daytona bike week with races

on the beach yes I have some old footage of that

in my video where they would just

literally race down on the beach in

the old bikes and it's cool to watch

and there's some quick

history clips I put in there

in my actual video I did on YouTube

but here we are so Main

Street explain the setup kind of

a visual what people if they haven't been

can expect and then your thoughts kind of it is

tight it's a two-lane road

and down

Main Street of Daytona beach

folks back their bikes up

onto the sidewalk if you will

over the curb over the curb and some

people had a little bit harder time than

others especially if they had custom

bikes with big old clown wheels on the front

which we'll get to some of the bikes and whatnot

here in a second but it is very tight

sidewalks are packed it's a lot

in a small area

it is spread out around

the Daytona beach area there's things

to do but if you

want to experience you know the crowd

and you know the

all the bikes that's where people hang out

and show off their stuff so

unlike Sturgis

Sturgis does have a Main

Street like that too but it's much wider

it doesn't feel as

multiple streets I know there's the Main

Street there's multiple streets yeah

yeah so I will say it was

I felt almost claustrophobic at times

it's just it's just a lot

in a small space

but I'll tell you what I do like about

it because

especially being from the Pacific Northwest

it's generally cold and snowy up here in February

we had a little bit warmer wetter

winter than we normally have but

what a great opportunity to get a break

from some shitty weather and get down to

Florida jump on a bike

and help get me out of that

seasonal depression you know

that we can get in up here you know

you're depressed because you can't ride into the weather

it's kind of shitty we had

normally in our area of Washington

we're in the eastern side it is

cold but it's generally sunny we don't have

a lot of clouds but this last year's

winter was kind of gray and gloomy

and almost reminded me

of the west side or the wet side

as we recall it or as we call it

so great opportunity to get down there

I think if you've never been to Daytona Bike Week

and you're thinking about it do it

make sure if you're not taking a bike

if you're going to rent one you better do that

way in advance because we looked at

grabbing a couple because we didn't have the Harleys

demo bikes all the time we had to

end up getting an Uber

not an Uber, a Turo for a couple of days

because we couldn't find any bikes to rent

we waited too long so if you're not taking bikes

and you're just going to fly down and rent

you better get on that right away

but what a great break

riding was just good for my soul

yeah yeah well said

I'll piggyback off that a little bit

and give you my take so we're not huge

event guys but we like getting to them

now and then because we like to meet the

biker community it makes sense for the business

it does make sense for our business but I'd much rather just

lay miles absolutely

because like alert said it's just

a lot of people gets claustrophobic

here's what I feel about

and I'm not putting Daytona Bike Week down

I'm just putting it perspective for my

opinion

it's fun getting out of the weather was nice

Sturgis

is a much better setup it's much

more spread out

and the beautiful thing about Sturgis

is that

there's actually good riding around Sturgis

some of the best riding around the

Black Hills so it's more than just

drinking and standing around

an event sorry

Florida Florida ends around Daytona Bike Week

you don't have great riding

you have great weather riding

but the roads are straight it's very flat

and there's no

real huge rides around Daytona

there is one route that of course

there you can go ride around

in circles

and of course riding along the ocean

is great so please don't

ride longer and treat your

ass with some respect already

get hooked up with a premium buffer seat cushion

this company of bikers developed a super thin

hospital grade seat cushion made of solid

and elastic materials

and it's unlike those gel pads

that will leak if punctured

the butt buffer is designed not to slide around in your seat

fits all motorcycles, installs in seconds

easily cleans and yep

helps to dampen vibrations

with plenty of models to choose from

they assure you'll have a comfortable ass when riding

head over to the law-abiding biker store

and check out our lineup of butt buffer seat cushions

some people get really defensive

about their state or where they live

when you come from the Pacific Northwest where we have

Rainier and St. Helens and curvy roads

more than you can even ride

it's just different so you go to places like that

so what I feel like is Daytona

bike weekend I've talked to other people about it

they asked my opinion of it they agree with me

even people from there are like you're right

it is a more of a

let's stand around, let's drink

more of a destination, more of a hangout

with bikes

and that's fine

there's nothing wrong with that

but it's not for great riding

it's for getting there

getting your bike, looking badass

getting your drink on

and it is fucking tight and packed

and they really packed it into a really smaller

I wish they would extend it out

so it could be a little more spread out

but maybe some of the allure to some people

some people like that really tight packed

it's hard to even move down the street

and you got bikes of all different kinds

of course

American maybe twin but you got sports bikes

I've kind of taken over a little bit there too

I saw some adventure bikes

adventure bikes were there

people from all as you can imagine

every career, every walk of life

cut and loose, letting it go

a lot of midlife crisis is going on there

a lot of big wheel

big front wheeled bikes

with loud paint jobs

and loud stereos

all in a live in Daytona anyways

you don't see that a lot of their bikes

big stretch fenders and bags

big show bikes

more than I've ever seen in one place in my life

that's what I mean

it's definitely a Daytona beach thing

because you go to other events

you see some of those but very few comparatively

again I think

that goes to our point is that

it's more of a bike show than an actual touring event

where Sturgis people are like

I want to go for the day

and I want to go ride all day around the Black Hills

and then we're going to go ride

you know

other areas

go to the badlands

there's so much riding

that you have more

bikes that are capable of actually riding

because you are not touring on any of the clown wheel bikes

they're definitely

for show and they're bad ass looking

so we're not putting them down

we're just putting the event in perspective

I like it that it kicks off the season

I like it that it kicks off king of the baggers

but yeah that's just kind of my

I enjoyed it and I'm not

I'm definitely not going to go every year unless I have business there

but it was fun

and I would go again sometime

like Lurt said it was good to get out of the

weather and at least you're on a bike

and you got the ocean and we got to spend

a few extra days just chilling

we worked on the laptops on the balcony

sat on the beach at night a little bit

and just kind of chilled out

and winded down

from the event but at least it spread out

you know you can go up to destination

Harley you got the racetrack

so at least you could ride in between things

yeah I think there's some stuff that was up

in Orman Beach we didn't get to any of that

up there but I think there's some vendors

and stuff up in that area as well

and we rode past it too that one night

we just didn't have time to experience everything

but again it's just it's more you know

food, alcohol

the kind of stuff that you kind of

expect at

biker events but all in all

I had a blast, cool experience

got to meet a lot of cool people got to do a lot of cool things

got to ride a Harley around

and got to enjoy

that warm weather for a little while

you got any other

thoughts on the Daytona

bike week lurch?

I think it you said

we're only going to go for a business I think we had to make it mandatory

that it's a winter break

we have to go

oh maybe that dude

I'm actually not against that

just for that reason alone

we can go towards the tail end of it catch the last two days

and then just relax on the beach you know what I mean

it's not a bad idea

because it was

really really nice

when we landed

I got off the plane and I could

feel that cold air right away

I'm like oh no

when we got back

we had to wait outside for the luggage because they're doing a little construction at the airport

and I waited inside

I was so adjusted to do because I had been there for

quite a few days my body was

not liking the cold weather

for sure

but yeah definitely you got to check it out you got to say you went

I'm glad we finally went

About this episode

The hosts kick off with a chaotic mix of food splurges, store updates, and product talk—then pivot to the main event: Ryan’s trip to Daytona Bike Week with Harley Davidson. He reviews the 2026 Harley Limited while riding from South Carolina to Florida, including a Harley trike test ride featuring the new rear suspension. They also cover King of the Baggers race day, pit-lane access, and the sensory overload of Main Street. Along the way, they debate what Daytona is best at versus places like Sturgis, and share practical takeaways for riders planning a trip.

Original notes

In this episode, we talk about the 2026 Harley-Davidson Limiteds. Harley clearly put a lot of thought into rider and passenger comfort on the 2026 Limited. The redesigned heated seat is one of the first things you notice. It now comes standard with heating for both rider and passenger, and Harley wisely kept physical buttons on the bike for adjusting heat levels instead of burying those controls in menus. That matters in the real world. When it's cold outside, nobody wants to scroll through screens just to warm up. The heated grips are also standard and work very well. Like the seat, they heat up quickly and get legitimately warm on higher settings.

The taller windshield worked great for me at 5'8″, allowing me to look right over the top while still getting solid wind protection. Combined with the fairing vent, it did a good job reducing head buffeting.

You also get lower fairings with storage and vents, plus fork-mounted air vents that can be adjusted while riding. I really appreciated that Harley made all of these easy to operate by feel without taking your eyes off the road.

And yes—having highway pegs standard on a serious touring motorcycle is exactly the kind of thing riders want to see.

The trunk on the 2026 Harley Limited has been redesigned, and I think Harley did a great job with it.

It looks better, flows better with the bike, and has a slightly taller design without looking boxy or awkward. Most importantly, it can now fit two helmets inside, which is a huge win for real-world touring and passenger use.

Harley didn't just make the trunk bigger for the sake of it. They clearly spent time reshaping it so it would remain sleek while becoming more functional.

That said, the integrated brake and turn signal lighting inside the trunk does take up a bit of space, so compared to my detachable trunk setup there is slightly less usable room in certain areas. Even so, fitting two helmets is a meaningful improvement.
