LAB-159-Sworn Few Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club Trip to Reno, Nevada | Part 2 of 2

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-Many of us here at Law Abiding Biker Media are part of the Sworn Few Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club (SFMC). In this two-part series we give you an inside look into a 4-day motorcycle trip we took to Northern California and Reno, Nevada. The SFMC Mother Chapter, based out of Yakima, Washington, had a very specific mission and purpose for this road trip and that was to meet up with a crew in a prospective chapter status out of the San Bernardino, California area to give them full SFMC Chapter status, but they didn't know it was going to happen! In addition, the SFMC Mother Chapter has grown and some of the crew had requested to break off and form the Red Mountain Chapter, which would be based out of the Tri-Cities, Washington area. They didn't know they were going to get full chapter status either! So we had a lot of surprises to deliver. We had a large complement of SFMC members and associates along for the trip and we had an outstanding time.

LAB-157-Advanced Police Motorcycle School-What's it Really Like?

Official website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode, Oscar and I discuss the recent 2-day Advanced Police Motorcycle School we attended at the Washington State Patrol Academy in Shelton, WA. We are not with the Washington State Patrol, but Motor Officers like us from around Washington State are allowed to train on the awesome course.  We strongly encourage you to listen to our two-partseries on Basic Police Motorcycle Officer School first: LAB-150-Police Officer Motorcycle School & Training-Inside Look-Part 1 of 2 LAB-151-Police Officer Motorcycle School & Training-Inside Look-Part 2 of 2 Suggested Video: Police Advanced Motor School Training-Motorcycle Officers-Washington State Patrol Academy Track The track is 2.7-miles and is one of the finest in the country. The nationally recognized course remains in constant use both for driving cars and for motorcycle training. I got to ride my Police Harley-Davidson Electra Glide on the course while Oscar rode his Police Honda ST 1300. We had a blast and share our experiences. This is a complete behind the scenes tour of what it was like! We also have some funny stories to share.   SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE! We also share some funny stories, both leading up to the training and things that happened during the training.  It is common for a Police Motor Officer to go through Basic Police Motor Officer School first and then about a year later attend Advanced Police Motor School. Police Advanced Motor School is attended on a yearly basis by many agencies.    CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! It is imperative for a Police Motor Officer to always train and stay up on their skills. We are very blessed in Washington State to have access to some high-end Police Motor Officer training.

LAB-156-Interview With Ciro 3D President Aero Rudd-Harley Aftermarket Parts!

Podcast-In this episode I had the pleasure of interviewing Aero Rudd, the President and Founder of Ciro 3D. Aero and his design team are hard at work making Ciro 3D the hottest new line of aftermarket parts for Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Law Abiding Biker has embraced Ciro 3D products after installing many of them on our personal bikes. The parts are of the highest quality and their array of lighting products are plug-and-play. This makes it easy for bikers to install right in their very own shop or garage. That means less money spent paying a dealership to do the install. We like Ciro 3D products so much, we brought them right to the Official Law Abiding Biker Online Store! Ciro 3D has numerous accessories, rider comfort, style, and performance products for Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Check out their chrome, lighting, cams, exhaust, and air intakes. The Ciro 3D style products are easy to install with no modifying, cutting, grinding or welding, making for an easy installation. Ciro 3D has over 200 products already and that number is growing along with their popularity. We have already released several completely free Ciro 3D product install videos on the Law Abiding Biker YouTube Channel, so make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss out. We will be releasing many more Ciro 3D product review and install videos.  Aero had an advantage and got exposed to the motorcycle parts industry at a young age. His father founded both Kuryakyn and Drag Specialties. Aero worked in all different capacities within Kuryakyn and learned the industry well. Aero actually hired 3 long time experienced Kuryakyn designers to work for him at Ciro 3D.  Ciro 3D is based out of Hudson, Wisconsin and you can find them at many major motorcycle rallies, so make sure and stop by their space and say hi. They have many parts with them at the rallies and have great on the spot install deals! Oh, and tell them that Law Abiding Biker Media sent you.

My family sacrifices: My wife of 21 years and two daughters (7 & 12) have sacrificed along with me and understand my mission and passion.

LAB-154-Film Day in the Shop-Oil Change & Service on a Harley Milwaukee-Eight

Official website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-Matt "Lurch" Couchman, Rick "Big Daddy" Kane, and Brian "Grunt" White spent the day in the Law Abiding Biker Grage. We were filming a complete service, oil change, and service on a Harley-Davidson with a Milwaukee-Eight engine!    In this episode, we give you a behind the scenes look. The Harley dealership that performed the 1K break in service on this 2017 Road Glide did not do several things properly we found. You must hear our findings, so you can be aware what to look for! We also tell you why it's not worth your money to buy these oil change and service packages from the dealership when purchasing a new Harley. Brian will tell you the truth and he tested it.   Note: Understand that the problems we found were that of one unnamed Harley dealership. We know many great Harley mechanics and dealerships. We have found similar problems like this from a few other dealerships.    SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE!   It doesn't matter if you have the 107 ci or 114 ci engine as the service is the same. It doesn't matter what model you have as what we teach you is the same. We are going to show you exactly what the Harley dealerships do and charge you $300 to $400 for every 5k miles. We are going to show you even more than they actually do.   The best part is you'll have the pure satisfaction of wrenching on your own Harley right in your very own shop or garage. You'll know things were done right. It's a great feeling!!    CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!   You'll save a ton of money by doing these simple services yourself.   I hope to have the official video edited and released in a month or so.

LAB-152-Switching From Victory (Polaris) to Harley-Davidson | Should You?

Official website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-Rick "Big Daddy" Kane and Brian White were in the studio with me after spending the day filming and installing Vance & Hines Power Dual headers on Brian's 2017 Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight Road Glide Special.  These headers get rid of your catalytic converter (cat), opening up the flow, increasing power & sound, & greatly reducing heat on the rider. Cats create a large amount of heat.   SUPPORT US AND CHECK OUT OUR AWESOME MOTORCYCLE TUTORIAL VIDEOS!   We also installed Vance & Hines Titan 450 Over-Sized slip on mufflers for an awesome power boost, great sound, and good look. We finished by installing a Harley-Davidson stage-one air intake and mapped the electronic fuel injection (EFI) with a Vance & Hines Fuelpak 3 EFI tuner after making these modifications.  Make sure you are subscribed to our YouTube Channel, so you are notified when these install and review videos are released.    CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!   Brian was a Victory owner for many years and recently bought this denim black 2017 Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight Road Glide Special. Rick and I question Brian as to his thought process for switching from Victory to Harley-Davidson. One big consideration, of course, is Polaris', owner of Victory, recent decision to cease all production of the Victory line. Brian brings some interesting points to the discussion. He discusses which bike he likes better and why. You really need to listen in to this discussion.    Note: Always check your local, state, and federal laws regarding motorcycle exhaust systems.   GET V&H EXHAUST SYSTEMS IN OUR OFFICIAL STORE HERE AND HELP SUPPORT US   Putting these V&H Power Dual headers on increased the sound of Brian's bike, because of the cat now being gone. It also increased performance & cut out a ton of heat.  We really liked the overall sound with the installation of the V&H Titan 450 OS slip-on mufflers.   Remapping your motorcycle's Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) is necessary when you change the flow of exhaust or air intake on your Harley, such as we did in these exhaust installs.  Make it easy and get a V&H Fuelpak 3 Electronic Fuel Injection Tuner from our store. We highly recommend this EFI tuner and we use it heavily here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media.   Podcast/Article of Interest: (EFI TUNERS)   Episode #34: What are these motorcycle electronic fuel injection (EFI) mapping gadgets and are they right for me?

LAB-150-Police Officer Motorcycle School & Training-Inside Look-Part 1 of 2

Official website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast Part 1 of 2-In this two-part series, Oscar and I give you an inside look into the life of a Police Motorcycle Officer. Both Oscar and I are full-time Police Motor Officers. Of course, in our off time is when we create all the content for Law Abiding Biker™ Media, Inc.    We get into great detail about Police Motor Officer initial training schools and ongoing training. We discuss riding equipment and our thoughts on the different motorcycles used by different departments. I am assigned a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police Motorcycle, while Oscar is assigned  Honda ST 1300 Police Motorcycle. We give you the pros and cons for both and I have trained on both.    Not all Police Motor Officer training is the same. I am very blessed and get the best of initial and ongoing motorcycle training and get to compete. Oscar also gets great initial and ongoing training and will hopefully compete next year. There are departments that get very little initial Police Motorcycle Training and lack ongoing training, which is very dangerous in my opinion.    If you ever wanted to know all about Police Motor Officers from the perspective of two actual Motor Officers, then this is a must listen to episode.    Sponsor-Ciro 3D Innovative products for Harley-Davidson Affordable chrome, lighting, and comfort products.  Ciro 3D has a passion for design and innovation   New Patrons: Christopher Ray Wood of Elsinore, Missouri Joseph Dempsey of Dana Point, CA Channing Rankin of Longview, TX   If you appreciate the content we put out and want to make sure it keeps on coming your way then become a Patron too!

LAB-146-Bassani 2x2 Dual Head Pipes | Python True Dual Headpipes

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-We spent the day installing and filming two complete Harley exhaust systems. We installed a set of Bassani 2x2 Dual Head Pipes on Matt "Lurch" Couchman's 2015 Harley Road Glide Special. We installed Python True Dual Headpipes on Rick "Big Daddy" Kane's 2016 Harley Road Glide Special.  Both these header systems get rid of your catalytic converter (cat), opening up the flow, increasing power & sound, & greatly reducing heat to the rider. Cats create a large amount of heat. Note: Always check your local, state, and federal law regarding motorcycle exhaust systems. Bassani: The Bassani pipes are nice because they are basically the exact same as the stock Harley head pipes minus the catalytic (cat) converter. This opens up the flow of exhaust, creates power & sound, and significantly cuts down on heat. They also re-use the stock chrome heat shields, which saves you money.  These headers have both 18mm and 12mm O2 sensor ports. You can use your stock Harley o2 sensors with these headers. If you want to change your O2 sensors out and use wide-band O2 sensors then you can use the larger 18mm bungs. Plugs come with the headers for 12mm and 18mm, so you can plug one set off. Putting these headers on increased the sound of Lurch's bike, because of the cat now being gone. It also increased performance & cut out a ton of heat.  Lurch was already running V&H Titan 450 OS slip-on mufflers. Remapping your motorcycle's Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) is necessary when you change the flow of exhaust or air intake on your Harley, such as we did in these exhaust installs.  Make it easy and get a V&H Fuelpak 3 Electronic Fuel Injection Tuner from our store. We highly recommend this EFI tuner and we use it heavily here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media. Python: The Python true duals are just that, two separate pipes all the way from the heads to the rear. There is no chamber, so the back pressure is just not there. It's well known that true duals are not the number one choice for actual performance anyways. They look great and sound good though. These pipes only come with 12mm O2 bungs, which is great because you can use your stock Harley O2 sensors. You'd have to have 18mm bungs welded in if you wanted to use aftermarket wide-band O2 sensors. We didn't notice any significant increase or decrease in performance after install. However, we did notice a great improvement in sound and the reduction of heat from having no cats. We do have some back pressure because Big Daddy was already running Vance & Hines Eliminator 400 slip-on mufflers. Note: We want to thank our friends over at Revzilla for sending us both these exhaust systems for review. If you like this episode and find it useful, please consider purchasing any Bassani or Python systems or other products through our Revzilla Affiliate Link. No additional cost to you, but we get a small kickback if you click through and make a purchase.

LAB-145-Beware-No Motorcycle Insurance-Medical Personal Injury Protection (PIP)-Are You Covered?

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode we talk all about the lack of no-fault personal injury protection (PIP) insurance for motorcycle riders in many states. As a motorcycle rider, you likely have no clue you don't have PIP coverage and that could leave you high and dry if you go down on your motorcycle. Of course, insurance companies just want your money and are not going to readily advise you of things like this. In Washington State, insurance companies are not required to provide PIP insurance to motorcyclists and so they don't. Remember, insurance companies are there to make money & they're good at it. How many insurance companies do you see going out of business?  Note: We are no insurance experts, but here's some of what we learned through our own independent research.  Many riders out there get a motorcycle and are so excited that they go down and get insurance quickly and leave, thinking they are properly covered. We've been riding for many years and this subject matter just came to our attention. Wow, we were surprised. I had an acquaintance go down on his motorcycle when a car pulled out in front of him and he was injured and had to be transported to the Hospital. His insurance agent now felt it was the time to tell him that he had no PIP coverage and he was on his own for all his medical bills. Then his employer provided insurance told him that it was the auto insurance companies responsibility. Meanwhile, all the bills were stacking up. I did some research and was so surprised that I was just learning of this.  In Washington, it's actually State Law that what auto insurance doesn't pick up in an accident, a rider's employer provided insurance is required to take over and cover the bills. That is if you even have decent or any employer insurance at all. If you don't have employer-provided insurance then you are really screwed. Especially, if the other driver is not insured as in this incident.  In this case, the employer insurance company was wrong and put on notice. They quickly realized it is their responsibility per State Law and they are now covering his medical bills, but not without sticking him with deductibles and co-pays.   This is why you really must sit down with your motorcycle insurance agent and ask the tough "what if" questions. Make up situations and question them on what would happen. Your eyes might open very wide at their answers and your lack of coverage.  I also have uninsured/underinsured motorist protection on my motorcycle insurance policy. There are different coverage amounts/maximums depending on your financial needs. If an uninsured driver or someone that doesn't have great insurance is at fault then I am covered that way. So, if the at-fault driver is covered by insurance, but not well, my insurance will pick up the rest of the bill up to my maximums set forth in my policy.  There are insurance companies that do offer some very low-level personal injury coverage similar to no-fault PIP, but they don't call it that. No fault, means that medical bills for the motorcycle rider will be paid, regardless of who's fault the collision is. Beware of this PIP imitation coverage that insurance companies are advising you of and make sure it really is what you are looking for.  Understand, the maximum for this alternate PIP coverage is very low. We found that you can pay several hundred extra hundred dollars a year for up to $10k no fault injury insurance for your motorcycle. You can pay more, but it seems they will not cover you for any more than $20k. That goes very quick when you are talking about medical bills.  Some riders get that extra PIP imitation insurance in Washington State as a way to have coverage to pay their employee insurance deductibles and co-pays, since the employer insurance is going to have to cover it the medical bills anyways.  If you ride a motorcycle, have no PIP insurance, and you have no employer-provided insurance in Washington State and other States and you go down at your fault, you have zero coverage for your medical bills. Sure, they'll replace your motorcycle, but they could care less about your injuries.  That's a scary reality. I'd suggest you look at alternatives to getting some sort of protection or medical insurance and make sure to ask the tough questions to make sure you are covered should you go down. Make darn sure you have uninsured/underinsured motorcycle coverage. That way if it's not your fault and the other driver is uninsured or underinsured you are covered. Of course, you're covered somewhat if the at-fault driver is insured, but who knows what their insurance coverage limits are. Many motorists carry the bare minimum coverage. Oh, and what if the causing driver does a hit and run and can't later be located by law enforcement? Yup, another question you should ask your motorcycle insurance agent. Hit and run collisions happen daily in the jurisdiction I work in as a Law Enforcement Officer.  This gets complicated as you can see and we here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media are just everyday motorcycle riders just like you. This is our own independent research and this information was gathered from several different motorcycle insurance providers here in Washington State.  Make sure and listen in to this episode as we get into much greater detail.  Now, do your homework and check what kind of motorcycle insurance coverage you have.  ________________________________________________________________ CHECK US OUT AND SUBSCRIBE:   Website: http://www.LawAbidingBiker.com   Email & Voicemail: http://www.LawAbidingBiker.com/Contact   Phone Hotline: 509-731-3548   Twitter: https://twitter.com/LawAbidingBiker   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawabidingbiker        YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/scrappy587     Google Plus Page: https://plus.google.com/b/104041070580228657262/+Lawabidingbiker587   Instagram: http://instagram.com/lawabidingbiker     RSS: feed://www.LawAbidingBiker.com/feed   iTunes Direct Link to Podcast:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/law-abiding-biker-podcast/id622424087    Stitcher Radio: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/law-abiding-biker-podcast   TuneIn Radio: http://tunein.com/radio/Law-Abiding-Biker-p562288/

LAB-143-Sena Cavalry Bluetooth Half Helmet Review & Discussion-Real World Testing

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode, we talk all about the new Cavalry Bluetooth half helmet from Sena. We put these helmets to the ultimate test in a real life motorcycle riding environment. What does this helmet mean and does it work for the real world everyday biker out there? We answer this and many other questions you may be asking yourself in this podcast episode.    Note: If you appreciate our free videos, podcasts, and this information, please consider purchasing a Sena Cavalry Half Helmet directly through our store! The Cavalry has a Sena 10R headset Bluetooth system built right in and integrated nicely. The speakers are built right into the helmet and sound great for a helmet style headset. There are ear flaps that help direct the speaker sound into your ears. You may also want to check out my complete tutorial video on how to use the Sena Cavalry Bluetooth headset system.    You can listen to your music wirelessly and make phone calls going down the freeway at 70+ mph. Yah-really, in a half helmet! You can also pair your Cavalry helmet with up to three other riders for group or single communications at a max distance of 1/2 mile was our findings.   The Cavalry helmet does pair with the Sena Freewire Bluetooth transmitter/receiver. When the two are paired, this allows you to have wireless integration with your Harley-Davidson Boom!™ Box Infotainment System. You can give voice commands directly to the Boom Box system and hear anything coming out of the Boom Box such as music and GPS voice directions wirelessly inside your Cavalry helmet.   The Calvary helmet is definitely geared more towards a touring rider with a fairing or windshield, which helps cut down wind noise, so you can hear the music, make phone calls, use rider-to-rider communications, and give voice commands. The capabilities of the Sena Cavalry helmet are greatly reduced if riding a motorcycle without a fairing due to the added wind noise. If just riding around town or slow country roads, you may be able to use the Cavalry helmet on a motorcycle without wind protection.    The Sena 10R headset that is built into the Cavalry charges fully in about three hours and has about 10 hours talk time. There is also an FM radio built in with station presets. Of course, you can pair your Cavalry with Sena's beautiful smartphone app to easily manage settings. Using Sena's desktop app for MAC or Windows, you can plug your helmet in and update the software, which should be done immediately.    Sponsor-Ciro 3D •Innovative products for Harley-Davidson •Affordable chrome, lighting, and comfort products •Ciro 3D has a passion for design and innovation ________________________________________________________________ CHECK US OUT AND SUBSCRIBE:   Website: http://www.LawAbidingBiker.com   Email & Voicemail: http://www.LawAbidingBiker.com/Contact   Phone Hotline: 509-731-3548   Twitter: https://twitter.com/LawAbidingBiker   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawabidingbiker        YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/scrappy587     Google Plus Page: https://plus.google.com/b/104041070580228657262/+Lawabidingbiker587   Instagram: http://instagram.com/lawabidingbiker     RSS: feed://www.LawAbidingBiker.com/feed   iTunes Direct Link to Podcast:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/law-abiding-biker-podcast/id622424087    Stitcher Radio: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/law-abiding-biker-podcast   TuneIn Radio: http://tunein.com/radio/Law-Abiding-Biker-p562288/

LAB-141-Motorcycle Profiling in the U.S. is NOT a Serious Issue | Stop the Propaganda

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-You may hear or see less than reputable websites out there pushing their agenda and claiming that motorcycle profiling by law enforcement is some huge out of control issue in the United States. If you are reasonable, do your research, focus on the evidence and facts, and check who is behind pushing such legislation, you'll find the real truth. That is what we want to expose in this episode. You really need to listen in to be fully educated on the matter.   Please understand, that I am totally against any and all "motorcycle profiling" by any law enforcement officer and it is improper. The very few possible cases involving such should be looked into for sure. But, let's not claim it's a big issue when it's not. Bikers/motorcyclists are stopped day after day all over the U.S. and all goes well, so focus on that fact for a moment. You'd see it on your nightly news for certain if it were some large ongoing issue.   Additionally, as I've always stated, not every member of every 1%er outlaw motorcycle gang is committing crimes all day every day. However, it is a fact that there are large factions within these OMG's that have committed and are committing criminal offenses of all sorts. This has been proven over a very long period of time with many OMG members convicted of an array of crimes and serving long jail and prison terms. I have come across many OMG clubs over the years and never personally had a problem with them.   On April 13, 2011, then Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire made effective a new law banning motorcycle profiling, which by the way was already not legal under long-standing laws that were already in place. That is my first point, and you'll see that this changed nothing, which is why it was easy for Gregoire to sign. This made the very few bikers behind the legislation happy, which is why I call it a "feel good" law. It changes nothing. Basically, the law added some minor training for new law enforcement officers, but it gives no specifics on length of that training or who monitors that it is occurring. Nothing changed as this sort of training was already in place. Oh, and the new law states that law enforcement agencies should put it in their policy manuals. Yup, most agencies already had profiling policies in place long before this law.   When you see the pictures of when the law became effective, you'll see Gregoire with outlaw motorcycle gang member and 1%ers. I can't blame her, as she likely had no clue who was actually pushing such a law. She clearly was not educated on these matters and that they were a minority of actual bikers. Sure it sounds great to say "stop motorcycling profiling", but it's not really a problem. You didn't see law abiding bikers pushing the law or standing next to the Governor in photos. Nope, it was pushed mostly by outlaw motorcycle clubs and affiliates, which account for less than 1% of motorcyclists on the roads. The more protection they can get the better I guess was their stance. Or maybe they don't really know that it changed nothing.   Be careful of the propaganda you'll see online making motorcycle profiling seem like this is some out of control issue. It just simply isn't.  Be very careful and always do your own research. On these rarely viewed small websites, you'll see a few very old videos of select encounters with officers that they cling to. Do I think officers make mistakes or act badly at times? Heck yeah, that stuff happens. However, statistically, less than 1% of law enforcement officers in the United States are corrupt or "dirty" in some way. No other place in the world can claim anything even close to that. That is a better average than doctors, lawyers, and clergymen.  We have the best law enforcement officers in the world and that's a fact.   The propaganda continues with these minority of bikers putting out a survey they did as if it were valid. This is why you always need to look at what's behind a survey before you accept it. They call it the "National Motorcycling Profiling Survey 2015-2016". Sounds official, doesn't it? That's exactly what they want you to believe, so they can continue to push their agenda. Quick research shows that the San Diego Confederation of Clubs (COC) put the invalid survey out. The COC is not recognized by law abiding biker clubs for the most part. It has no power or authority over motorcyclists. It's a private organization that is mostly made up of outlaw motorcycle club members.    The COC used Survey Monkey, a free online survey system. They sent the survey to all their acquaintances, outlaw clubs, and affiliates. They only had about 5,000 participants. I have to laugh........and this is called a "National Survey"?  By running an improper and unofficial survey, they got the very results they were looking for. The surveyed a very small minority of persons that already bought into their hype. We don't even know if they surveyed actual bikers?  That survey was not sent out to the good hard working law abiding bikers out there. If it had been, then the survey would definitely not have turned out in their favor. Their invalid survey, of course, claims that motorcycle profiling is some huge issue. Unfortunately, they are able to fool some with their efforts.   As you'd suspect, the survey is now closed and the link is dead. Nobody really knows what was asked in the survey, except the small number that participated.   Why would outlaw motorcycle clubs push such legislation and propaganda you ask? Easy, to try and further shield themselves from law enforcement scrutiny. Please understand, criminal profiling is actually legal and widely used by law enforcement today. Notice I didn't say "racial profiling" or "motorcycle profiling" but instead "criminal profiling".  There is a huge difference.  If you are classified as a 1%er outlaw motorcycle gang (OMG) by the federal government then you're already being criminally profiled. Somehow they think that when they get stopped for a valid traffic violation they can claim "motorcycle profiling", which will not likely be the case.   If you are classified as a 1%er outlaw motorcycle gang (OMG) by the federal government then you're already being legally criminally profiled. Somehow, certain OMG members now think that when they get stopped for a valid traffic violation by law enforcement they can claim "motorcycle profiling", which will not likely be the case in a court of law. You must look at the objective and subjective intent of the officer in a case like this.    You must also understand that law enforcement is not going to reveal every investigative tactic they use. I'm certain there are OMG members that are legally stopped pertinent to a much larger investigation, but the particular biker stopped may have no clue. If you play with fire, you'll eventually get burned.   New States/Laws:   Maryland:   On Saturday, October 1, 2016 Maryland's new anti-motorcycle profiling law went into effect. Maryland is now officially the second state to have an anti-motorcycle profiling law on the books. Washington State passed a similar measure in 2011.   Boise, Idaho says no:   A proposal banning law enforcement agencies from profiling motorcycles has crashed and burned in the Idaho Senate.   Senate members spiked the proposal Wednesday, voting 13-22 after a lengthy debate over the need of bill despite receiving unanimous support from the House several weeks before.   The bill would have prohibited police officers from stopping bikers for riding motorcycles or wearing biker garb. However, some critics said police should have legitimate reasons for stopping all citizens, not just motorcyclists.   Here is what the Washington State law actually states: (Nothings really changed at all)   RCW 43.101.419 Motorcycle profiling. (1) The criminal justice training commission shall ensure that issues related to motorcycle profiling are addressed in basic law enforcement training and offered to in-service law enforcement officers in conjunction with existing training regarding profiling. (2) Local law enforcement agencies shall add a statement condemning motorcycle profiling to existing policies regarding profiling. (3) For the purposes of this section, "motorcycle profiling" means the illegal use of the fact that a person rides a motorcycle or wears motorcycle-related paraphernalia as a factor in deciding to stop and question, take enforcement action, arrest, or search a person or vehicle with or without a legal basis under the United States Constitution or Washington state Constitution.   Sponsor-Patch Addict   Use Coupon Code: LAB15 Get 15% Off Free Shipping on orders over $25   Sponsor-Ciro 3D   Innovative products for Harley-Davidson Affordable chrome, lighting, and comfort products.  Ciro 3D has a passion for design and innovation   New Patrons:   Larry Daniels Sr. of Mount Vernon, OH Zachary Brooks of Forney, TX Eddie Davis of Columbus, GA Paul Kelly of Glenolden, PENNSYLVANIA Zachary Norton of Richland, WA Terry McDonough of Medford, Oregon   If you appreciate the content we put out and want to make sure it keeps on coming your way then become a Patron too!

LAB-139-About the 2016 Harley Dyna Low Rider S | Biker Talk

Official Website: Podcast-In this episode we talk all about the 2016 Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider S we have in the Law Abiding Biker™ garage for a while. We have done quite a few projects on it and of course, we filmed them for you. Check out our video titled, Install Forward Controls on a Harley Davidson Softail or Dyna-Guide & Instructions.  We recently put new 12" West Coast MX T-Bars on this bike and they look awesome! Check out our video titled, Install Handlebars Harley Dyna, Softail, Sportster | Extend Wires & Cables.  The 2016 Dyna Low Rider S (special) was the first for this model. Harley is making some "special" models. Although they are not a "CVO" model, they are somewhat of a "one off" bike and they have some special things about them. Harley seems to be doing this with other models too. Our 2016 Dyna Low Rider S came stock with the Screamin' Eagle Twin Cam 110 engine (1,801 cc) on this small frame bike. And she really rips! It also came stock with cruise control and throttle by wire. It has a cable clutch and not hydraulic clutch, which we would have preferred.  It also comes with upgraded suspension, the six-speed transmission, ABS brakes, and dual front disc brakes.  We put Vance & Hines Short Shots Staggered exhaust and we tuned the electronic fuel injection (EFI) using a Vance and Hines Fuel Pak 3. The bike came with a stage one Screamin Eagle air intake. I am really digging riding this bike now that we have it all setup! New Free Video Announced:  How to Replace & Install a Shifter Lever Shaft Seal on a Harley-Davidson  EMAIL 1:  From: Will Janes Video Referenced: Access, View & Clear Harley Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's)-For All Years/Models  Your email regarding the security code for Harley's........ I read your information and there is something that you should know. I'm a retired Police Officer from York Region and have had bikes for 40 odd years. I have about 14 now.  In August of this year I purchased a new Harley Ultra Limited Low. When I picked up my new bike, they showed my how the security system works and taking their advise, I changed the code. Safe and secure!  In October I had my bike in the garage and attempted to start it. It would not start and a member came up to trailer it to the dealership. This gentleman made several attempts to start the bike without any luck. He asked me for my security code and I told him I had forgotten it. He then told me that he could override my code and start the bike.   I was curious and again asked him how he could override my security code. He told me that the dealership people have the knowledge to do this override! Interesting. So basically dealership employees could steal my bike! Turns out there was a module in the starter circuit that burnt out. They fixed it the next day..good service!

LAB-138-Harley Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) to Carburetor Conversion | Guide & Instructions

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode we talk about Rick (Big Daddy) Kane's large-scale project he just completed on his 2001 Harley-Davidson Road King, named  "Chola".  This bike has a ton of rich history and you really need to go back and listen to Podcast Episode #106, where Rick breaks it all down for you.  That will help you have a more true appreciation for this current project. Check out the Official Law Abiding Biker Store! Rick decided to do a full electronic fuel injection (EFI) to carburetor conversion on Chola. Yah, this is not something you hear about being done very often, but it can be and is done on occasion. Of course, there are reasons to do something as drastic as this. In Rick's case, he was having troubles with the older Magneti Marelli style EFI system Harley used from 1995-2001. These systems did not utilize O2 sensors in the exhaust for tuning. TheseMagneti Marelli systems are well known for causing problems and annoyances.  In 2002, Harley-Davidson switched and started using the Delphi EFI systems on their motorcycles, which are more reliable and utilize exhaust O2 sensors for proper tuning. This Magneti Marelli system left us stranded late one night in the middle of nowhere in the pitch black. I followed and Rick was barely able to limp the bike back to town.  Listen in as we tell the story. These types of EFI problems require expensive computers to properly diagnose.  So, Rick took it to a friend of ours at a dealership to diagnose it with their computers. Things were never just right after several times to the shop to diagnose and Rick spent about $800. He actually had to push his Road King home about 1 1/2 miles!  It ended up being recurring annoying problems with the cam timing sensor and neutral throttle sensor. Rick decided he'd had enough with the Magneti Marelli EFI system and wanted to get rid of it all together. He could have converted to the new Delphi EFI system but has always loved carburetors. Rick made the decision to do a full conversion from Magneti Marelli EFI to a carburetor system instead. Once and for all, he wanted no more problems with his 2001 Harley-Davidson Road King. Listen in as Rick describes the exact process he went through and the exact parts he used to make the carb conversion. He lays it all out for you in this episode and tells of what carburetor he went with. Rick is a wealth of knowledge on this subject and I learned a ton from him.  He has some great resources for you if you might be contemplating this project.

LAB-137-Following Too Close on a Motorcycle? Legal and Safety Issues | Dealing With Motorcycle Insurance Companies

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode we play a voice message from Cody Case, who is a long-time supporter of Law Abiding Biker™ Media. Cody was involved in a motorcycle collision a week before Street Vibrations and he totaled his Harley. We are super thankful Cody was not seriously injured in the crash.   Cody was following a vehicle pulling a trailer with no lights or turn signals, which stopped in front of him. Cody rear-ended the trailer. Per Cody, the driver had no license or insurance. The other driver was cited and Cody received NO citations from law enforcement.   Check out the Official Law Abiding Biker Store!   Cody was insured through Geico motorcycle insurance. Even though Cody received no citations, Geico motorcycle insurance told him the collision was his fault and they doubled his monthly rates.   Listen in as we discuss Cody's incident and weigh in on the laws regarding appropriate following distances for motorcyclists. We also discuss civil infractions and the burden of proof in comparison to civil litigations and insurance company decisions. Each state has their own laws in regards to appropriate following distances. It is hard to paint a broad picture and things will vary on how both Law Enforcement and insurance companies deal with following too close.   Let me share Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 46.61.145 since that is where I reside.   Following too closely. (1) The driver of a motor vehicle shall not follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having due regard for the speed of such vehicles and the traffic upon and the condition of the highway. (2) The driver of any motor truck or motor vehicle drawing another vehicle when traveling upon a roadway outside of a business or residence district and which is following another motor truck or motor vehicle drawing another vehicle shall, whenever conditions permit, leave sufficient space so that an overtaking vehicle may enter and occupy such space without danger, except that this shall not prevent a motor truck or motor vehicle drawing another vehicle from overtaking and passing any like vehicle or other vehicle. (3) Motor vehicles being driven upon any roadway outside of a business or residence district in a caravan or motorcade whether or not towing other vehicles shall be so operated as to allow sufficient space between each such vehicle or combination of vehicles so as to enable any other vehicle to enter and occupy such space without danger. This provision shall not apply to funeral processions.   Cody's incident demonstrates that insurance companies will find you at fault when rear-ending another vehicle regardless if it had working lights/signals or not. They seem to follow the rule that motorcyclists need to leave enough following distance to stop even if the vehicle they are following stops suddenly, stops for no reason, or does not have lights/signals. It really seems to be the complete responsibility of the following motorcycle rider to make certain they have all the room necessary to stop in any circumstance.   Regardless of insurance, as riders, we must be mindful of our safety first. Insurance company decisions are secondary. If we don't leave a safe following distance to avoid a collision, we may not get a second chance. We all get comfortable and think we can stop faster than we can on our motorcycles. I say, if you are following a car and it seems to be a safe distance, double it and you're probably safe. It is hard for our mind to calculate time and distance real time. We tend to feel overly confident when riding our motorcycles at times.   Sponsor-Patch Addict   Use Coupon Code: LAB15 Get 15% Off Free Shipping on orders over $25   Sponsor-Ciro 3D   Innovative products for Harley-Davidson Affordable chrome, lighting, and comfort products.  Ciro 3D has a passion for design and innovation.   If you haven't been to a riding course and practiced emergency braking, please do so. It will open your eyes to just how long it can take to stop a motorcycle. Of course, this is dependant on what brake system you have, the weight of your bike, tires, etc. After much practice, you'll realize that you'll gain confidence and improve your motorcycle emergency braking skills, thus stopping faster.  A safe following distance is always the best practice, so you don't have to emergency brake.   The two-second rule   Under normal conditions, the two-second rule is an easy way to make sure you have left enough following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front, no matter what speed you're traveling at.   To check if you are traveling two seconds behind the vehicle in front:   watch the vehicle in front of you pass a landmark - such as a sign, tree or power pole - at the side of the road as it passes the landmark, start counting 'one thousand and one, one thousand and two' if you pass the landmark before you finish saying those eight words, you are following too closely - slow down, pick another landmark and repeat the words to make sure you have increased your following distance.  Note: Consider a 3-second rule to be much safer. 2 seconds is the minimum.    New Patrons:   Dan Currie of West Kelowna, British Columbia Steven Farmer Ryan Watson of Bonney Lake, WA Mike Pruitt of Jonesboro, Arkansas Harold Bohn of Pinckney, MICHIGAN Scott Gillies     If you appreciate the content we put out and want to make sure it keeps on coming your way then become a Patron too!

LAB-136-Installing MX T-Bar Handlebars on a 2016 Harley Dyna Low Rider S!

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-Lurch and I spent all day in the Law Abiding Biker™ garage starting another Harley-Davidson handlebar install project on a 2016 Dyna Low Rider S. Fresh out of the garage, we break it down for you and give you some must know information, so listen in. We also had Lawdog "LD" in the studio with an update on our upcoming 2017 Canada motorcycle trip where we will be meeting up with Patron Members of Law Abiding Biker™.  We are installing 12" Westcoast MX T-bars on the Dyna Low Rider S & internally wiring them! We lifted this baby up with our beloved TITAN SDML-1000D-XLT MOTORCYCLE LIFT TABLE!  Lurch and I broke the Harley down and we're filming the entire project for you as usual. We will eventually add this video to our very popular collection of Harley-Davidson handlebar install videos! Check out the Official Law Abiding Biker Store!  There is not much information out right now in catalogs and online on the Dyna Low Rider S, as it was a special production bike. So, we broke it down and measured the stock clutch cable and front upper brake line. We figured out how much over stock length we'd need to go to accommodate these 12" T-bars. Armed with proper cable/line lengths, we ordered up what we'd need and had the shipping expedited, so we can put the bike back together and finish the project.  Sponsor-Patch Addict Use Coupon Code: LAB15 Get 15% Off Free Shipping on orders over $25  New Patrons: Kevin Thrash of Diamondhead Mississippi Terry Williams of Swanton, Ohio Gary Zillyette of Rock Island, ILLINOIS Cory Ryan of Everett, WA Darren Knight of Landsborough, Austrailia Brian Allen of Pevely, Missouri  If you appreciate the content we put out and want to make sure it keeps on coming your way then become a Patron too!

LAB-135-Mayans Motorcycle Club (MC)-Sons of Anarchy Spinoff Show on FX

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode Chewy, Lurch, and I tell you everything we have learned about the new Sons of Anarchy spinoff pilot that has been ordered by FX called the Mayans MC that will start shooting in March 2017.  The Mayans MC show is officially happening, according to FX. This is no longer a rumor, it's an official series on the network's schedule. Sons Of Anarchy aired its finale in 2014 and many of us have longed for a spinoff series. SOA was the highest-rated ongoing drama series in FX history. We hope some of that greatness can spill over into this new show. Production on the pilot is set to begin in March and will be set in a post Jax Teller world. The show is said to follow EZ Reyes, a Mayan prospect, who will struggle with his desire for vengeance against the local cartel and his need for the women in his life to respect him. The show is set on the Mexi/Cali border. The Mayans, a Latino MC, controlled Northern, CA and all of Nevada during the SOA series. Emilio Rivera played the role of the President of Mayans Oakland Chapter in the SOA Series. It hasn't been confirmed that he's reprising his role as Marcus Alvarez, the president of Mayans MC, but his social networks have let fans know that he is involved with the show in some fashion. Both he and Sutter have posted numerous photos of themselves, the Mayans, and teases about the show. It seems Charlie Hunnam, who played Jax Teller, in the original SOA series will not be involved in the Mayan's MC show at all. The show will be directed by "Sons" creator Kurt Sutter from a script from Sutter and Elgin James. Sutter will serve as executive producer, with James as co-executive producer.  We think between these two individuals we should get a very creative and interesting show. Mayans MC will most likely take the Tuesday night slot that was previously held by Sons Of Anarchy. While an official premiere date hasn't been released by the FX network or Kurt Sutter, the show is expected to debut in Fall 2017. Mayans MC will most likely take the Tuesday night slot that was previously held by Sons Of Anarchy. There is much speculation on the exact story line of the show. Will we see Sons of Anarchy club members appear in the series? Or will they not integrate SOA at all? The show may go completely in its own direction.
