LAB-209-Harley-Davidson is Making Electric Bicycles & Scooters?
Official website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Harley-Davidson, Inc. announced that it has acquired StaCyc, Inc., They produce 12 and 16 EDRIVE, electric-powered bicycles specifically designed for kids. As a subsidiary, a Harley-Davidson branded version of StaCyc's 12-inch and 16-inch models will be sold through select Harley-Davidson dealers. These Harley branded electric bikes will be available in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2019. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE It also appears Harley-Davidson is working on smaller electric scooters. They provided some prototypes to X-games athletes to ride around and they promoted them on Instagram. Many are wondering if they'll have an actual electric scooter model to put on the floor and sell to customers any time soon. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Why is Harley-Davidson focusing on all these electric bicycles and scooters? My opinion is that Harley is realizing that many older generation riders are fading and they really need to grab the attention of the younger generation who have many choices. They want to get the Harley brand introduced to young riders of bicycles and scooters, thus when they get older they'll consider a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. They want to continue to create brand loyal riders as they have for many years. Additionally, they just released their first electric motorcycle, the LiveWire, in late 2018 and they're likely learning much about electric vehicles with the bicycles and scooters, so they can be a leader in that market in the future. Don't worry, I don't believe Harley is trying to get out of the game of traditional motorcycles that has driven the company for so many years. They are just realizing that change and innovation is the only way to survive and compete in the future. Listen in to this podcast episode as we get into detail about what's going on.

LAB-208-Does Motorcycling Reduce Stress & Increase Alertness? And Lane Splitting Legalization in 2019 in the U.S.?
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this episode, Lurch and I discuss a recent UCLA study, funded by Harley-Davidson, that says motorcycling reduces stress and increases alertness. A study from the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior, at the University of California, Los Angeles, seems to confirm that. Three UCLA researchers studied more than 50 motorcycle riders in tests that recorded their brain activity and hormone levels before, during and after riding a bike, driving a car and resting. Did they prove there are potential mental and physical benefits of riding your motorcycle? Well, listen in to this podcast episode and find out as we break it down for you. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Next, we talk about that fact that motorcycle lane splitting or lane filtering may be legalized and coming to your state in 2019? California is still the only state where lane splitting is legal and many other states are watching closely. Unfortunately, lane splitting has become a rather controversial topic. Mostly by those that don't understand the many benefits of motorcycle lane splitting & don't ride motorcycles themselves. The following states are in different stages of possibly legalizing lane splitting: Maryland, Connecticut, Utah, Oregon, Texas, and Hawaii. If legalized, each state has its own ideas and rules on how motorcycle lane splitting can be done. Things such as whether it can only be done when traffic is stopped and at what speeds you can actually do it. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!

LAB-207-Deep Thoughts With Scooter-Inside the Steak Challenge | Biker Talk
Official website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com This is a straight up biker talk BS session and Lurch and I have a ton of fun talking with Scooter. This was Scooter's first time on a Podcast and he did well. He is a member of the Sworn Few Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club & spent the day here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media filming a tutorial video for our YouTube Channel. This was also his first time behind the scenes filming and watching the process. Scooter helped out with lighting and other tasks and was a big help! SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Scooter is no stranger to the many who follow Law Abiding Biker™ Media, as he appeared in our Nevada & California Motorcycle Trip Documentary Film and our most recent Midwest Motorcycle Trip Documentary Film. During the Midwest Motorcycle Trip documentary, which I highly suggest every biker watch, Scooter attempted the steak challenge at the Big Texan in Amarillo, Texas and it was quite an ordeal. This is a famous food challenge that is unbelievable to watch. Although Scooter wasn't able to complete the challenge, he gave it his all. Scooter discusses the steak challenge in detail in this podcast episode. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!

LAB-206-Harley-Davidson Touring vs Indian Touring | The Winner is?
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this podcast episode, we are comparing a Harley-Davidson touring model such as the Street Glide Special to the Indian Chieftain Limited. Harley vs. Indian is the topic. Is one better than the other? Which is better for touring cross-country? Which has more power? What about aftermarket upgrades? Which is more comfortable? These are just a few of the topics we discuss and you'll want to listen in to hear us really break things down. This was a fun Patron Member only live video broadcast event with live chat!

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Big Daddy Kane was on one of the mics and for a good reason. He currently owns a newer model Harley Road Glide special and an Indian Chieftain Limited. In the past, he has also owned a Victory touring model. He is very qualified for this discussion of Harley vs Indian. He speaks of the differences he finds between each and he does a great job giving you the pros and cons of each bike. These are things you'll want to know if you're on the fence of whether to purchase a Harley touring or Indian touring model.

Harley vs Indian: Below are some of the high points we discussed INDIAN CHIEFTAIN CLASSIC BASE PRICE: $26,749 HARLEY STREET GLIDE SPECIAL BASE PRICE: $27,089 DIFFERENCE OF $340 INDIAN HAS THE THUNDERSTOKE 111 CI MOTOR 1811cc INDIAN HASN'T UPGRADED THAT 111 MOTOR FOR MANY YEARS NOW UNVEILED BACK IN 2013 NOTHING SINCE THEN HARLEY HAS THE MILWAUKEE-EIGHT 107 AND 114 CI MOTORS 2019 HD STREET GLIDE AND ROAD GLIDE SPECIALS COMING WITH 114 CI MOTOR STOCK 1868 cc Harley pros: For a tall rider, the Harley Road Glide special is very comfortable. The Street Glide is tighter for tall guys, but both excellent riding positions. Lots of accessory options with Harley. Way more than Indian! More saddlebag space in Harley Milwaukee-eight 107" ci motor has great power. Harley 107 ci motor has a touch more acceleration than the Indian Thunderstroke 111 with air, exhaust, and EFI tuner upgrades on both. So, the Milwaukee-eight 114" motor will definitely have more power. Accessories from manufacturer cost a bit less for Harley compared to Indian. More dealers nationwide f0r Harley-Davidson Harley has a long history with the brand and bikes Harley touring models have a larger fuel tank for riding cross-country Many aftermarket HD accessories work and fit well. Beware of some aftermarket parts for Indian. Harley Cons: With the Harley Boom!™ Box Infotainment System you have to add an expensive Wireless Headset Interface Module (WHIM) in order to have Bluetooth headset paring. And you have to buy a Harley stamped Sena Bluetooth headset in order to get full functionality and stereo sound. The Indian Ride Command® system is ready to pair with any major brand Bluetooth headset and you get full functionality. You don't have to add anything on. Some Harley Dealerships are treating their customers very poorly by stating they'll void warranties if a customer adds an aftermarket air intake or mufflers. This is ridiculous & Harley-Davidson dealerships doing this should be ashamed. They are trying to force customers to buy only Harley stamped products and pay mechanics to install simple things. Service at Harley dealerships-You want to trust they know everything but the fact is that many dealers are not up to speed and properly trained on the emerging technology such as the Boom!™ Box Infotainment System. Indian pros: Quality bike. Nice touches. Offering traditional styling and new limited editions. Technology-Ride Command infotainment system works great! Bluetooth built in. Just pair a Bluetooth headset. GPS updates are free for the first 3 years! Indian uses Navi Extras for the GPS maps. Harley uses Navi Extras for the GPS maps but you must pay $150 to $200 to upgrade your GPS maps in the Boom Box Infotainment System Charger in the saddlebag for electronics comes stock on the Indian Paint is fantastic-Love the color matched inner fairing & front fairing Thunder stoke 111 ci motor has lots of torque. Milwaukee-eight 107 is better in higher gears. Both bikes with similar aftermarket upgrades Smooth/quieter transmission shifts than on the Harley. Not clunky. Easier oil changes on Indian. One hole. Electronic saddlebag lock & unlock electronically. A nice feature that's not available on Harley. Indian Cons: Indian is owned by Polaris, who make a ton of other things. Are they really focusing on the Indian or on their many other products? Harley is primarily focused on producing motorcycles Small saddlebag compared to Harley. The design is an illusion and looks very big from the outside, but inside it's significantly less space Indian has a smaller gas tank. Harley has a 6-gallon gas tank. Indian has only a 5.5-gallon and you should you pack an extra gallon of fuel if riding cross-country with Harley touring riders? Fairing feels more in the face compared to Harley Road Glide. Similar to a Harley Street Glide feel. Taller riders on the Indian will need to adjust at first but you can get used to it. Much more limited options on aftermarket products for Indian Expensive parts compared to Harley A much smaller network of Indian dealerships. Sponsor-Ciro 3D CLICK HERE!

LAB-205-What's Up With The 2019 Harley FXDR 114? Hot or Not?
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com This episode is all about the 2019 Harley-Davidson FXDR 114. This new motorcycle was released in late 2018 and at that time I took it for a test ride. To get all the details, check out my Harley FXDR 114 test ride and overview videos on YouTube. The Harley-Davidson FXDR 114 rides great considering it has a 240 mm rear tire on an 18" wheel. The 19" front wheel with a 120 mm wide front tire works well with the rear tire size. The new cast aluminum swingarm and inverted front forks with cartridge dampening both round it out to make a good cornering motorcycle. I was actually very impressed with its abilities. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The Harley-Davidson FXDR 114 has the Milwaukee-Eight 114 motor (1868 cc) and produces 119 ft lbs of engine torque. It will throw some heat up at your legs so be aware of that. Standard with the FXDR is an LED headlight, signals, and taillight. The Harley FXDR 114 comes with a 6-speed transmission, cable clutch, and comes standard with ABS. It's equipped with a 4.4-gallon fuel tank and Harley says it gets an estimated 46 mpg.

LAB-204-A Look at Harley-Davidson's First Electric Motorcycle-The Livewire
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com We tell you everything you need to know about the new Harley Livewire electric motorcycle in this podcast episode. The Livewire is Harley's first production electric motorcycle and it is available for pre-order now starting at $30,000. It will be available in August 2019 for those who ordered. This was originally a Live Patron Member only live video broadcast with live chat and we had a great time! Become a member now and get exclusive access to these sort of events! Join the #BikerRevolution SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The new Harley Livewire electric motorcycle has caused quite a stir within the Harley community. I posted a YouTube video when it was first announced and wow, you should read the comments. They range from complete understanding, to anger at the price tag, to absolute rejection that Harley would even consider an electric motorcycle. SEE MY COMPLETE HARLEY LIVEWIRE ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE OVERVIEW YOUTUBE VIDEO & ARTICLE HERE! Whether you are personally interested in an electric motorcycle or not, Harley must look to the future and they clearly realize the electric motorcycle will be a slice of the overall market. This is only the first iteration of the Livewire and Harley's first attempt at the market. This does not change anything for the traditional Harley owner, so don't be fearful. All the regular Harley models are still available and the internal combustion engine is not going away any time soon. You should likely be happy that Harley is looking to the future and figuring out how they are going to stay in existence. If they aren't progressive & tapping into all related markets then they will die and none of us will be riding Harley's anymore. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Don't buy a Livewire if you're not interested in electric motorcycles, but you should hope that Harley sells many of them to those interested customers, so they can profit and continue to produce great motorcycles for everyone. At $30k for a starting price & with the current electric vehicle limitations, it will be somewhat of a novelty bike in my opinion. Again, it's Harley's first stab at the market and they had to start somewhere. We talk about so much more in the podcast episode, so take a listen!

LAB-203-Police Motorcycle Officer Interview-Ryan Urlacher
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com I was interviewed by Lawdog (LD) over at The Fine Blue Line Podcast, which is his newly created podcast for cops by cops as he says. I actually got to sit and relax for once as a guest and not run the show. He wanted to interview me as I am a full-time police motorcycle officer and trainer. I also run Law Abiding Biker™ Media on the side. He had a ton of questions for me and we just sat and talked. It was a great time. Take a listen and get an inside look into what it's like day to day being a police motorcycle officer and riding a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide. There are many things the general public may not know and I reveal it all. We talk about many things such as the best police motorcycles, day to day duties, what I like, what I don't like, policies, equipment, my experience, and training. And a whole bunch more! I thank Lawdog at The Fine Blue Line Podcast for allowing me to use the interview audio file and put it out to the Law Abiding Biker™ audience on this podcast!

LAB-201-Harley-Davidson Rider Stereotypes | Are Times Changing for the Better?
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com There are many Harley-Davidson rider stereotypes out there to poke fun at. As soon as you read "Harley-Davidson Rider" an image popped into your head. It's just the way it is and for many years it seemed Harley-Davidson riders were unchanged. But, has that changed and are the changes good? On the mics were me, Lurch, and special guest and Patron Member Bob Dawson. They also weigh in on this subject and we had a great time, so listen in for a deeper look. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The Harley-Davidson rider you may think of is an unrefined middle-aged male, overweight, unhealthy, long dirty beard, dirty baggy jeans and sleeveless shirt, tattoos, half helmet or no helmet, leather jacket or vest with pins and patches, half finger leather gloves, clunky buckle style leather boots, leather chaps, bandana on his head, wearing goggles, and wearing no modern progressive safety gear. Did I nail it? I think that's been a long time stereotype of the Harley-Davidson rider, but it's changed over the years. If that's how you currently look, that's okay, own it. Sure, when most of us got our first Harley back in the day, we leathered up and looked the look and walked the walk to some extent. That was the expectation to make you feel like a real biker. But, once you actually start riding and not just hanging out at biker events looking good, you realize that you don't need to fit that stereotype and you are introduced to much lighter and better progressive riding gear. There's nothing wrong with leather and it still has its place if you like it. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! As you age you realize that you should probably care some about your physique and overall health if you want to continue riding and enjoying your Harley into the latter years. Long distant riding takes stamina and being healthy helps much. In general, we are a more health-conscious society these days and that has bled over to Harley riders too. In general, I've seen the typical Harley rider stereotype fading over the years and that continues. There is so much available to us in the marketplace now and bikers are taking advantage of buying actual gear that helps instead of trying to fit a particular look. Riders are just becoming smarter about things. And of course, you have different subsets of Harley rider stereotypes that have developed such as on the west coast. You'll see riders on Harley Dyna models with tall T-bars. They'll be wearing long Dickie shorts, vans shoes, and knee-high white socks & a T-shirt doing wheelies. Not that any of this is good safety gear, but it's a style. So, styles come and go in the motorcycle industry too. Listen in to this podcast episode as we really break it down and have some great laughs. Do you fit the Harley-Davidson rider stereotypes? New Free Video Mentioned: Got Lights?

LAB-200-Motorcycle Riding Safety Tips & Dangers-From a Police Motorcycle Officer & Instructor
Official Website: http://www.dev.lawabidingbiker.com In this podcast episode, I go into great detail of the dangers I see out on the road as a full-time Police Motorcycle Officer and Instructor. I see riders making so many common mistakes that unknowingly put their lives in danger. Unfortunately, I respond to many motorcycle collisions and it's never fun. Many times it's not the rider's fault, but had that rider practiced better defensive riding skills they would have avoided it. And yes, I understand that under some circumstances there is just simply nothing the motorcycle rider could have done to avoid a collision. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE In the studio on the mics were Lurch and special guest and Patron Member, Bob Dawson. Bob donated his time to paint the entire inside and outside of the Law Abiding Biker™ Studio and Shop when we were building it! Bob Dawson owns Dawson Custom Painting out of the Yakima, WA area. Both Lurch and Bob weigh in on their experiences and things they do to stay safe when out riding. I truly believe that if motorcycle riders would stop making many common mistakes that motorcycle collisions would be greatly reduced. Too many riders become complacent and make dangerous mistakes, don't practice, and are not prepared. Ask yourself, when is the last time you spent just 20 minutes practicing emergency breaking in a parking lot? This could save your life and it's an easy drill to set up. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! You need to listen in to this podcast episode, as it's much easier to verbally break down the things I've seen and to give you all the tips and tricks that will help you stay safe when riding your motorcycle. I will try to give a few of the highlights in this article, but again, the details are in the podcast episode. Some more common dangerous things: Following too closely Back off! Give yourself reaction time and the cars behind you time Don't ride with your feet on the highway pegs in the city with traffic. They are for the highway. Greatly reduces your reaction time to get your foot on the brake Cover your clutch in heavy traffic Be ready to emergency brake and shift down to brake and escape Slow at EVERY intersection even if it's a green light Expect a car to come through every time Head checks left and right upon approach Cover clutch and brakes Don't just ride through at full speed and expect traffic to stop Don't start on a green light right away. Wait a few seconds to avoid those other cars trying to beat the yellow/red light Don't ride in a driver's blind spot Back off or pass Tap your brake lever or pedal to flash your brake lights to get the attention of driver's behind you when slowing or preparing for a stop Or buy an aftermarket brake strobe modulator Be slow to stop/Following distance again gives you that ability to not have to stop suddenly Be cautious of traveling in the left lane in a city when two or more lanes are in the same direction as you are going Cars ahead in the left lane will stop and have to wait for oncoming cars to make a left turn. Cars will not expect this and everyone will brake quickly. Vehicles turning right from the right lane don't have to wait and just quickly turn off. Again, the proper following distance will help you stop slowly and give cars behind you more time to see you and also stop Following distance.....hmmmmmm, this keeps coming up? Do it if you care about your life! Be extra careful when a line of cars are stopped in the opposite direction as you and they are backed up. Look for gaps left in the traffic. Drivers will try to come out of parking lots through those gaps to get out and will not see you and have a blocked view from the traffic they are cutting through. Very dangerous, so slow down and pay very close attention covering your clutch and brakes. Practice, practice, practice your emergency braking and other riding skills Take your motorcycle riding safety seriously Again, these are just a few highlights of what we discussed in this podcast episode.

LAB-198-Mayans MC Series on FX Network-Should Bikers Watch?
Official website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com The FX Network released its first season of the new motorcycle club based series named "Myans M.C.". They ran 10 episodes the first season and the last one aired in early November 2018. Although this is somewhat of a spin-off series from the Sons of Anarchy motorcycle club based FX Series, it is also very different in many ways. In this podcast episode, we break the series down for you and what's it's all about. The big question will be whether, as a biker, you should invest the time to watch the Mayans M.C. series? We do a roundtable and each of us gives you our personal opinions to help answer that question. I will tell you that after being a watcher of the Sons Of Anarchy series, I wasn't that invested after watching the first 3 episodes of the Mayans M.C. But, by the 4th episode, things started to flow for me and I am now a definite watcher and look forward to seeing if they'll release season two in 2019! I think it's common to take several episodes for any new TV series for an audience to buy in and become routine watchers. ABOUT THE SHOW *Taken from the FX Network Website Mayans M.C. is the next chapter in Kurt Sutter's award-winning Sons of Anarchy saga. Set in a post-Jax Teller world, Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes (JD Pardo) is fresh out of prison and a prospect in the Mayans M.C. charter on the Cali/Mexi border. Now, EZ must carve out his new identity in a town where he was once the golden boy with the American Dream in his grasp. The series also stars Clayton Cardenas, Edward James Olmos, Sarah Bolger, Michael Irby, Carla Baratta, Antonio Jaramillo, Raoul Max Trujillo, Richard Cabral, and Danny Pino. Recurring stars include Emilio Rivera, Frankie Loyal, Joseph Lucero, Vincent Rocco Vargas, Maurice Compte, Gino Vento, Tony Plana and Ada Maris. Mayans M.C.was co-created by Kurt Sutter and Elgin James. Norberto Barba directs the first two episodes. The series is executive produced by Sutter and Barba, with James as Co-Executive Producer. The 10-episode first season is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions. New Free Video Mentioned: Speed and Strength Black 9 Moto Shirt Review Sponsor-Ciro 3D CLICK HERE!

LAB-197-Is the Sony XAV-AX 5000-Direct Harley Boom!™ Box Infotainment Replacement? Good & Bad
https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Is the Sony XAV-AX 5000 Harley Boom Box Replacement worth it? This is everything you'll need to know if considering the swap. Darryl "Squid" Barnes here at Law Abiding Biker Media dug in deep to find out everything you'll want to know if you're considering ditching your Harley Boom Box for the Sony XAV-AX 5000 unit. Listen in to this podcast episode as I ask Darryl all the questions you'll want to know. There are both pros and cons to this replacement unit from Sony and you must understand that it was never specifically designed to replace the Harley Boom Box, but it does a great job. Some have just found that it will work great if you also buy the proper "plug and play" bundle of items to make it work. There is a company that puts out a for purchase bundle kit for the complete install. Any rider that has experienced the Harley Boom Box over the years and all of its frustrating shortcomings have likely thought about an alternate option. Harley has not won any customers over with the Boom Box, but instead frustrated many. It lacks in many ways and has constant issues that they haven't been able to fix in years now with many software updates. Check out our #1 Best Selling Harley Boom Box Tutorial Videos Here! Flatten the learning curve and get the most out of your Boom Box Infotainment System! In 2019 Harley came out with a re-designed Boom Box GTS system that claims to be the next generation. However, it too lacks and has frustrated customers with Harley forcing riders to buy only their branded products such as headsets to get full functionality. As a few examples, the new 2019 Boom Box GTS has Apple Car Play, but it won't activate unless you use a Harley branded wireless Bluetooth headset that Sena makes for them or a Harley branded wired headset. And the Boom Box GTS does not have Android Auto. The new Boom Box GTS introduced in 2019 is better than the older units and has a full touchscreen with no physical buttons. The menu system has also been cleaned up. However, it still has issues. You'll definitely want to watch my video on the new Boom Box GTS. Video-Review-2019 Harley-Davidson Boom Box GTS Infotainments System | Must Know Info The parts you'll need to for the Sony XAV-AX 5000 Harley Boom Box Replacement. If you source the products yourself: Sony XAV-AX5000 (retail: $429.99) Metra 95-9700 Installation Dash Kit, including the HD-ASWC-1 handlebar control integration module (retail: $199.99) Total if sourced yourself: $629.98 And the products don't come pre-soldered and ready to go like other bundled kits Some places sell a less expensive bundled Kit as they've sourced the products for you. These plug and play bundles include the following (all prewired): Sony XAV-AX5000 Metra 95-9700 Installation Dash Kit for Double DIN head units Metra HD-ASWC-1 handlebar control integration module These kits come pre-wired and ready to go About $500 The pros of the Sony XAV-AX 5000 Harley Boom Box Replacement: The replacement Sony system has standard am/fm and it has both Apple Car Play and Android Auto baked in and they will function if your smartphone is plugged into one of the USB ports. It has a full 7" touchscreen and is very sleek. You can buy a XAV-AX 5000 bundle kit that will allow it to install and function when installed on your Harley-Davidson. With Apple Car play and Android Auto, you'll be able to use Apple Maps and Google Maps for navigation. Another nice feature is that with the Sony XAV-AX 5000 you'll maintain your factory handlebar control functions with some limitations. The Sony unit has a Bluetooth "handsfree profile" built in, so you can pair your smartphone directly with it. It also has a bluetooth "headset profile", which means you can pair a wireless bluetooth headset with it for music and phone calls. Further, the Sony replacement plays FLAC files on USB drives and includes Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming. You can also jam to your favorite playlists on Pandora or Spotify if you use those instead of your pre-loaded Apple or Android music. The unit is also compatible with a SiriusXM satellite radio tuner. AND, it comes with a 1-year warranty. The Sony unit also has dual rear USB inputs and a rear-view camera input and 5-channel preamp outputs (2-volt front, rear, subwoofer). The cons of the Sony XAV-AX 5000 Harley Boom Box Replacement: The Sony XAV-AX 5000 is not marine grade like the Boom Box system is. So, you'd need to be careful if riding in heavy rains and when washing your Harley. You'll lose your intercom functionality and it's not CB radio compatible. Additionally, you won't see your EITMS on/off screen or oil pressure like on the Boom Box. Further, the Sony unit has built-in satellite GPS navigation, but you'll need to pay an additional $260 for a module to get that functionality. With the module, you'll get true offline satellite GPS navigation. TomTom is responsible for the maps on the Sony unit, but the maps have not been updated as of 2017. No one is certain that an update will ever happen. You'll also likely want to get an amplifier as the Sony XAV-AX 5000 does not put out near the power that the stock Harley Boom Box system does to power the stock or aftermarket speakers. Conclusion: Now that you're educated on the Sony XAV-AX 5000 Harley Boom Box replacement, you have a decision to make. Like anything, it's not a perfect solution, but many riders have gone to the Sony unit out of continued frustration with the Harley Boom Box system. We get much feedback here at Law Abiding Biker Media from the biker community and we have not found anyone who has installed the Sony unit to be disappointed with the decision. Many are very happy with the functionality of the Sony unit and cutting ties with the problematic Harley Boom Box is a relief to them.

LAB-196-New Harley Ride Planner GPS & Mapping for Harley Boom Box | Better or Worse?
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com This is what you need to know about the new Harley Ride Planner free online software that was released in mid-2018 and replaces the older long-standing online version. Yes, as usual, Harley did this quietly and mostly unannounced. We have had the #1 selling Harley Ride Planner tutorial video for many years. When this new version was released we made a completely new and revised Harley Ride Planner tutorial video! The new free online Harley Ride Planner software is very different from the older version. Using the desktop version of Ride Planner is the most useful and best experience. However, in our tutorial video, we show you in great detail how to use both the desktop and the smartphone app version of Harley Ride Planner and the entire Harley-Davidson smartphone app! GET THE OFFICIAL HARLEY RIDE PLANNER TUTORIAL VIDEO HERE If you're not using the free online Harley Ride Planner software to map out your motorcycle trips then you are missing out. Although it's not perfect, we can show you how to utilize it and get the most out of it in our tutorial video. For a free tool, Harley Ride Planner is pretty great. You can plan and map out your entire motorcycle trip and then download it, and upload the turn by turn GPS directions into your Harley Boom!™ Box Infotainment system or other Harley supported external GPS device. There are many helpful tools built into Ride Planner such as easily inserting Harley dealership locations, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, events, scenic locations, and more. You can easily filter what you want to see on the map and what you don't. You can add waypoints and places you want to stop. There are different versions of the map you can view such as normal, classic, terrain, or satellite. You can easily zoom in, zoom out, and drag the interactive map around much like what you'd expect using Google Maps. You can add and drag waypoints around and adjust the route to different roads if you. GET OUR AWESOME HARLEY-DAVIDSON BOOM BOX!™ INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM TUTORIAL VIDEOS HERE! Once you add an address or location to your route you can see the mileage and time between one stop to the next. You can even view a list of turn-by-turn directions. Once you save your trip you can always come back and make changes if necessary. You can share your saved Harley Ride Planner via a link with friends and they can import it into their Ride Planner and upload it into their GPS device. We plan our rides here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media using Harley Ride Planner and then send it out to the entire group, so everyone has the same plans. While releasing the new Harley Ride Planner desktop online software, they also released a completely overhauled smartphone application for IOS and Android. If you were using the old app called "Ride Planner" you can delete it because it's not supported anymore. You'll want to download the new official Harley-Davidson smartphone application in your respective app store. Built into the app is Harley Ride Planner along with many different things. The app will sync with your free online Harley account and once you sign in you'll see any saved Ride Planner maps that you created and saved via desktop. Get the Official Harley-Davidson & Ride Planner Smartphone App! IOS Android Yes, finally on the app you can now select one of your planned and saved rides and get visual and audible turn by turn directions on your smartphone! This was not possible on the old Ride Planner app, so I am super excited about this new functionality. I will say that creating a ride/map on the smartphone app is a bit cumbersome unless you are taking the fastest route between selected locations etc. You can't drag roads to take different routes like using the desktop version. However, there are some tricks I teach you in our Harley Ride Planner tutorial video that will make it possible to create an alternate route and take the roads you want. The app is just not very fast or user-friendly to create detailed motorcycle rides. By far, the best experience for creating detailed rides is on the desktop online Ride Planner version. Weather is a new feature on both the desktop and smartphone app versions. It appears Harley partnered with Dark Sky Weather and it is now integrated into Harley Ride Planner. What this means is that you can scrub through a planned ride and see where you'll be at a particular mileage on the map and you'll be able to see what the current weather and forecasted weather is. I find this very useful, but I will say that the desktop version lacks and you can get much more detailed weather info on the smartphone app version. I really hope they fix this on the desktop version and make it more useful. Additionally, with the Ride Planner portion of the smartphone app you can record your ride and it will track you via GPS. You can then name and save the ride for future reference and share it. There are different icons on the bottom of the smartphone app and you can go into different portions of the app. On the left is an HD logo and this is the home screen, which recommends rides near you. Next over is a helmet which is a list of your planned and saved rides. The third is a road and flag icon and this is Harley Ride Planner. Fourth from the left is a trophy cup icon where there are listed "challenges" and it's currently in Beta. I believe they are trying to build some sort of community where you can ride the challenges to earn points and get your name on a ranked list. One challenge I looked at is to ride 600 miles one month and hit 100 dealer check-in points. I guess these check-in points are dealerships and Harley sponsored events. Clearly, Harley is trying to get you into their dealerships to buy things. Finally, all the way to the right are three dots that open up a menu with everything else. This includes the motorcycles you've listed, scheduling a test ride, finding a dealership, learning to ride, events, renting a bike, the museum, online store, and app feedback. Overall, I am very pleased with the new Harley-Davidson smartphone app. It is well built, clean, and the user interface is easy to understand. I think it will only get better in time with minor bug fixes and updates. The desktop version of Harley Ride Planner is so much better than the old version, but it still has a steep learning curve to use it most effectively. In our Harley Ride Planner and Harley-Davidson Smartphone App Tutorial Video, we'll make it easy for you, so you can get the most out of both the desktop and smartphone app versions.

LAB-195-Unsanctioned Patron Ride & Meetup!? Cease & Desist! | Moonshine?
Official website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com This episode is all about the unsanctioned, I say that jokingly, Patron Ride & Meetup Event occurring in Tennessee on June 22 of 2019! That's just four days after the Official Sanctioned 2019 Law Abiding Biker Patron Meetup (Episode #194) in Salt Lake City, Utah! For the finer details of these events, you need to be a Patron Member of Law Abiding Biker Media and be in the Private Patron Member Only Motorcycle Facebook Group, which is a troll free zone. If you've been on the fence about signing up, make no mistake about it, we've got some awesome things in going on for our Patron members and you'll want to be a part of it here in 2019. Get signed up and become a Patron Member now! Don't forget the Official 2019 Sanctioned Law Abiding™ Biker Media ride and dinner in the greater Salt Lake City, Utah area! (Podcast Episode #194) This unsanctioned Patron Ride & Meetup in Tennessee will be Patrons meeting and riding with other Patrons over and around the east coast area of the U.S., We here at Law Abiding Biker Media will not be present for this event. I'm super excited that the Patron Member community in the Private Member Only Facebook Group is taking it upon themselves to meet each other and schedule events like this! I never dreamed this sort of thing would occur when I started Law Abiding Biker™ nearly 6 years ago! That Private Patron Member Only Motorcycle Facebook Group is the best community of motorcycle enthusiasts around & you're missing out if you're not in there. It is the best troll free motorcycle forum in the world and it's all about bikers helping bikers inside with courtesy and respect for each other. It is completely searchable and you can find topics of all kinds related to motorcycles. It has collected quite a database of topics over the years as you can imagine. If you can't find a specific topic or discussion in search, just post the question and bikers from around the world with all different experience levels will gladly assist you and/or guide you with their expertise. Many of the Law Abiding Biker™ Media east coast Patron Members can't make it west across the United States to our yearly sanctioned rides and meetups & we understand that. We are unable at this time to really travel on our motorcycles any further east for meetups and events because we here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media are all still working our other full-time paying jobs. When some of us retire at some point from those paying jobs and have more time off, we hope to be able to reach out further and get further east and even outside of the country for events. A special thanks to Patron Member Russell Roberts of Tennessee, who is spearheading this unsanctioned Patron Meetup in June 2019. I have him on the mic via a Facetime call for this episode and we dive in deeper so I can learn about this event & share the details with you. Russell has an awesome ride plan set up for the day to include the famous "Tail of the Dragon" and I am so jealous I can't go. He also rented a very cool and secluded house with a private back yard to end the ride at. Once there and after the day ride, Russell has a BBQ dinner planned for everyone! You must get ahold of Russell Roberts in the Private Patron Member Only Motorcycle Facebook Group and RSVP to the Unsanctioned Ride & Meetup in Tennesee on June 19, 2019. Only those that do so will get the proper information and be allowed to attend. Deadline to get signed up is June 1, 2019. Note: Russell Roberts is paying for all this out of his own pocket at this point. At the dinner portion of the event, there will be a hat, so bring some cash and help Russell Roberts offset the personal cost he has invested to make this happen for everyone. He is doing this because he cares about the Law Abiding Biker community and wants to help further the #BikerRevolution! Again, for the finer details of both these 2019 events, you need to be a Patron Member of Law Abiding Biker Media and be in the Private Patron Member Only Motorcycle Facebook Group. We also reveal much more information and insight in this podcast episode, so take a listen!

Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Listen in as we discuss in detail what it takes to complete an Iron Butt Challenge on a Harley. I have guests Jonathan "Fuente" Holen and Rob "Lawdog" Layman on the mics. Both have completed an Iron Butt Challenge. The Iron Butt Association is dedicated to safe, long-distance motorcycle riding. The Iron Butt Association website is detailed and there are specific instructions and rules to follow if you're considering a certified Iron Butt Challenge on a Harley. They also have lists of verified rides and riders that have completed a challenge on the website. They have rides and routes setup or you can create your own ride that will take you wherever you want to ride. There are small fees to enter a certified challenge and everything needs to be verified before you make the website list. You'll have to keep gas receipts with times and locations and have certain documents signed for later verification. The Iron Butt Association has about 60,000+ members and is based in the United States, however, they have thousands of members throughout the globe! If you are considering an Iron Butt Challenge on a Harley then you absolutely must listen in to this podcast episode. Rob and Jonathan will give you inside details about doing a challenge. They share important tips, tricks, and insights on what it takes to complete a challenge. They share things you should do and should not do. They share in-depth information about what they learned and what they would do differently on their next Iron Butt Challenge on a Harley. A great resource that was mentioned that many Iron Butt Challenge riders use is SpotWalla to track their travels. SpotWalla is a secure personal location manager that supports a wide range of satellite- and cell-based tracking technologies. It puts you in control of your personal, private location data so you have complete control of your degree of exposure.

LAB-191-3 Great LED Headlights for Harley & Indian Motorcycles
Official website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com We have tested many LED headlights for Harley-Davidson and Indian motorcycles over the years and continue to do so. I did an LED headlight comparison article & video on our YouTube Channel some time ago and you should check it out. There are many resources in that article. Video-3 Best & Brightest LED Headlights for Harley-Davidson | Real World Testing by Bikers There are an array of LED headlights for Harley & Indian motorcycles in the marketplace, but not all are good quality. We all know the stock halogen headlights on Harley's lack brightness, but there are exceptions depending on what Harley model you get. Some models are coming with Harley Daymaker LED headlights now. One of the first things we do on our Harley's here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media is to install an LED headlight. This is a safety issue. LED headlights will not only let you see road hazards faster at night, but they will allow other motorists to see you better during the day. Listen in to this podcast episode to get in the know about LED headlights for your Harley or Indian motorcycle. The Harley LED Headlights I Tested: Note: Affiliate links below.

LAB-190-Adventure Motorcycle Riding-Yukon Territory & Alcan Highway on a BMW-Special Guest | Part 2 of 2
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Part 2 of 2 This is an inside look at adventure motorcycle riding in the Yukon Territory and riding the Alcan (Alaska-Canada) Highway. Special guest, Adam, recently took a 14-day adventure motorcycle ride to these areas on his BMW R1200 GS and he tells all about it. Popeye and I asked Adam a ton of questions as Adam is very knowledgeable in the sport of adventure motorcycle riding. We were broadcasting live video with live chat for our exclusive Patron Members! Get exclusive access to these live broadcasts and become a Patron Member and get benefits! Get early access to episodes like this! This was a great conversation & education for me & Popeye, who was also on a mic. Although I love riding cross-country on my Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special on maintained roads, I'd love to someday do some adventure off-road riding on roads that can only be seen and ridden on adventure type motorcycles. Being a full-time LEO Motorcycle Officer and running Law Abiding Biker™ full time on my days off does not leave me enough time right now to get into adventure motorcycle riding. I'll likely try some adventure motorcycle riding when I retire from the LEO job but for now, I just want to learn as much as I can about it. Listen in as we ask Adam about his background, the best adventure motorcycles, riding experience, packing for adventure riding, clothing & riding gear, eating arrangements, fuel stops, fuel issues, roadside motorcycle maintenance, breakdowns, GPS tracking, mapping, and trip planning. Adam reveals what he learned on this 14-day trip and he gives some insider tips that you'll want to know. I hope this episode reaches many street style riders that may want to try adventure motorcycle riding or are currently doing so. I think it's an exciting sport and another great opportunity to ride a motorcycle, see beautiful country, and meet riders from around the world.

LAB-188-Rockford Fosgate Speakers and Amplifier for Harley-Davidson | Review & Install Info
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com We spent the day in the Law Abiding Biker™ Shop installing and filming a Rockford Fosgate speaker and amplifier system for Harley install. We installed the system on a 2015 Harley-Davidson Road Glide. In this Podcast episode, we go over the entire install and give you our opinion on how the sound quality stacks up to other systems we currently have installed on our Harley's. I want to thank Patron Member Greg Jordan for taking thetime to get ahold of us. He lives about 2 hours west of our location in Washington State and made arrangements to come over for the day and let us film and install the Rockford Fosgate speaker and amplifier system on his Harley. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! That is the awesome Patron Member Community that is growing here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media, Inc. He wanted to share this information with the rest of the community! Greg got to see behind the scenes what it's like to film a detailed install tutorial video. Get our Rockford Fosgate Speaker/Amp Install Tutorial Video! Rockford Fosgate now offers a Harley front audio upgrade kit featuring a plug and play amplifier wire kit, a Power series small chassis, 4-Channel amplifier and our new 6.5" direct fit speakers. The kit comes with everything you'll need for the install. We found this is a universal kit that will fit 2014 & newer Harley Street Glides, Road Glides, and Ultras! The exact Rockford Fosgate Harley System we installed is as follows: Power Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® (2014+) & Road Glide® (2015+) Front Audio Kit-Rockford Fosgate (HD14-TKIT) Purchase through the above Amazon affiliate link if you appreciate our efforts to help bikers. No additional cost to you, but we get a small commision. You will need to have your Harley Boom Box Infotainment System flashed after or before install and definitely before firing the system up for the first time. Unfortunately, some Harley dealerships are now refusing to flash the Boom Box with their Digital Technician software unless you buy a Harley brand amp/speaker system and pay the Harley tax. They will not flash the Boom Box if you have another brand system such as Rockford Fosgate. To combat this, there are motorcycle shops that have similar but limited software and they can flash the system to the proper configuration and Rockford Fosgate provides a list of those shops on their website. See Rockford Fosgate Harley Boom Box Radio Flash Advisory Warning During installation of the Rockford Fosgate speaker and amplifier system for Harley, we noted that all the components are of high quality and nothing is lacking. The wires are very thick and everything is well put together. It is a universal kit to fit multiple Harley models, so there are components you won't use. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE After listening to the Rockford Fosgate system we were very impressed. It has great audio quality and clarity and can be turned up loud w/o distortion. In comparison to our J&M amp/speaker system and our Harley Boom Audio Stage 2 amp/speaker system, the Rockford Fosgate definitely has less bass and more of the mids and highs. The J&M and Harley Boom Stage 2 system have a bit more bass and mids. That's not a good or bad thing, but we wanted to note it. Much bass is lost anyways at freeway speeds when riding. The systems are very similar when running a decibel meter test and nothing was remarkable. The Rockford Fosgate speaker and amplifier system for Harley is less expensive than both the J&M and the Harley system at $850 at the time of this review. Note: As a reminder, we already have 4 tutorial videos available for other popular speaker and amp systems for your 2014 and newer Harley-Davidson. The four systems/videos are: (2014 & newer Harley touring models) Harley-Davidson Boom Audio Stage 2 Amplifier & Speaker System Get Install Tutorial Video Here Hogtunes Amplifier & Speaker System Get Install Tutorial Video Here Cycle Sounds Amplifier & Speaker System Get Install Tutorial Video Here J&M Rokker XX Extreme Amplifier and Speaker System Get Install Tutorial Video Here Rockford Fosgate Power Harley-Davidson Front Amplifier & Speaker Audio Kit Get Install Tutorial Video Here Note: See our video explanation of the 4 other audio kits for Harley!

LAB-187-Midwest Motorcycle Road Trip-Part 2 of 2
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com This is part 2 of a two-part series is all about our 2018 midwest motorcycle trip. In June 2018, members of Law Abiding Biker™ Media along with members of the Sworn Few LEMC embarked on a 10 day 4500 mile 12 state cross-country motorcycle trip. This trip would take us out of Washington State and into Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico & Colorado. We stayed over in cities such as Twin Falls, Idaho, Cheyenne, Wyoming, Papillion, Nebraska, Kansas City, Amarillo, Texas, Gallup, New Mexico, Grand Junction, Colorado & Boise, Idaho. In the middle of our midwest motorcycle trip, we met up with our beloved Patron Members in Papillion, Nebraska for an entire day. Our Patron Members support us financially, so we can help as many bikes as we can worldwide. Of course, our Patron Members get benefits and exclusive access such as meetups like this. The local Patrons had an awesome day planned for a very large group. We all met up in the morning and they took us on a beautiful day ride, which included a stop for lunch. We all had plenty of time to visit and get to know each other on a more personal level. We ended the day at a private location where the Patron Members and their friends and family had a feast prepared for everyone! We visited many places and saw a ton of great country on our midwest motorcycle trip. We stayed at some good and not so good hotels and motels. We ate at some good restaurants and some bad ones. We experienced good and bad weather and a few of the bikes experienced some mechanical problems that had to be fixed. We had some very funny times as a group and made memories that will last a lifetime. Everything that happened shaped the trip in some way. Listen in as we tell all the stories of this Mid-West motorcycle trip. We also share tips and tricks to assist riders who may be thinking of an extended road trip.
