In this episode, Lurch and I are joined by Patreon Member Matt Haywood and we talk about Firearms Legal Protection.  Being protected by a Firearms Legal Protection plan gives gun owners immediate access to experienced attorneys after a self-defense incident, which is one of the most critical moments to have professional guidance. Instead of scrambling to find legal help while under extreme stress, members can contact a 24/7 emergency hotline and be connected with a lawyer who understands self-defense law. This early legal support can help protect your rights during questioning, prevent costly mistakes, and ensure you navigate the legal system properly from the very beginning. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Another major benefit is financial protection against the high costs associated with criminal and civil defense. Legal cases involving firearms can quickly become expensive, with attorney fees, expert witnesses, investigations, and court costs adding up fast. A Firearms Legal Protection plan helps cover these expenses, reducing the financial burden on the member and their family. This allows individuals to focus on their defense and recovery rather than worrying about how to afford a potentially lengthy legal battle. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Beyond legal and financial coverage, these plans also provide peace of mind and education. Members often gain access to training resources, legal insights, and guidance on responsible firearm ownership and use of force laws. Knowing you have a structured plan in place can make a significant difference in confidence and preparedness, helping ensure that if you ever face a self-defense situation, you are not navigating the aftermath alone.

In this episode, we talk about the 2026 Harley-Davidson Limiteds. Harley clearly put a lot of thought into rider and passenger comfort on the 2026 Limited. The redesigned heated seat is one of the first things you notice. It now comes standard with heating for both rider and passenger, and Harley wisely kept physical buttons on the bike for adjusting heat levels instead of burying those controls in menus. That matters in the real world. When it's cold outside, nobody wants to scroll through screens just to warm up. The heated grips are also standard and work very well. Like the seat, they heat up quickly and get legitimately warm on higher settings. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The taller windshield worked great for me at 5'8″, allowing me to look right over the top while still getting solid wind protection. Combined with the fairing vent, it did a good job reducing head buffeting. You also get lower fairings with storage and vents, plus fork-mounted air vents that can be adjusted while riding. I really appreciated that Harley made all of these easy to operate by feel without taking your eyes off the road. And yes—having highway pegs standard on a serious touring motorcycle is exactly the kind of thing riders want to see. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! The trunk on the 2026 Harley Limited has been redesigned, and I think Harley did a great job with it. It looks better, flows better with the bike, and has a slightly taller design without looking boxy or awkward. Most importantly, it can now fit two helmets inside, which is a huge win for real-world touring and passenger use. Harley didn't just make the trunk bigger for the sake of it. They clearly spent time reshaping it so it would remain sleek while becoming more functional. That said, the integrated brake and turn signal lighting inside the trunk does take up a bit of space, so compared to my detachable trunk setup there is slightly less usable room in certain areas. Even so, fitting two helmets is a meaningful improvement. NEW FREE VIDEOS RELEASED: How To Change Harley Rear Wheel Bearings The Best Motorcycle Road Isn't the Tail of the Dragon – It's This One!

The annual Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival was officially canceled for 2026 and discontinued as a yearly event after just a three-year run, despite previously announced dates for July 9–12. Harley-Davidson confirmed it is shifting away from the annual festival format and returning to its traditional strategy of hosting large-scale hometown celebrations only during major milestone anniversaries—meaning there will be no Homecoming event in 2026 or in the immediate future. Instead, elements of the festival will be folded into other partnerships and events, including a collaboration with Summerfest, while the next major Milwaukee-based celebration is expected in 2028 for the company's 125th anniversary.

I recently had the opportunity to sit in on a meeting with Indian Motorcycle CEO Mike Kennedy.  His career reflects a blend of operational strategy, sales network leadership, and brand stewardship in the motorcycle world. Kennedy's long tenure at Harley-Davidson, especially managing dealers and major markets, combined with executive leadership at Vance & Hines and RumbleOn, positioned him as a respected figure well suited to steer Indian Motorcycle's next chapter. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Throughout the meeting, Kennedy emphasized the importance of balancing respect for Indian's legacy with strategic innovation. He discusses how the company plans to focus on core product areas such as cruisers, touring bikes, and heavyweight baggers—segments where Indian has traditionally been strong. Kennedy also touched on his commitment to American manufacturing and fostering strong relationships with dealers and riders alike, signaling a partnership-driven approach rather than solely corporate direction. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Kennedy also aims to address concerns among enthusiasts about the brand's future under new ownership. He stressed that private equity backing doesn't mean abandoning the soul of Indian Motorcycle, and pledges to maintain the authenticity and rider-centric spirit that fans expect. With this blend of respect for tradition and a clear business strategy for growth, Kennedy set out a roadmap that could shape the next chapter of Indian Motorcycle's storied history.

In this podcast episode, we discus the newly released 2026 Indian Chief Vintage.  The Chief Vintage leans hard into that classic 1940s-inspired styling with sweeping valanced fenders, wire wheels, wide bars, and that unmistakable Indian silhouette that screams heritage. It's got the nostalgic look riders love—lots of chrome, iconic badging, and vintage vibes—but this isn't some museum piece. It's built to be ridden. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Underneath that timeless styling, you've got the Thunderstroke 116 V-Twin, and that means torque for days. This thing is made for rolling on the throttle and feeling that deep, low-end pull whether you're cruising Main Street or stretching it out on the highway. Indian didn't ignore modern tech either. With ride modes like Tour, Standard, and Sport, plus a Ride Command display with navigation and smartphone connectivity, you're getting a solid mix of classic style and 21st-century convenience. It's the kind of setup that gives you the best of both worlds. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! And let's be real—half the fun is making it your own. Indian offers a range of accessories so you can dial it in for long-haul comfort or keep it stripped-down and clean. Windshields, saddlebags, passenger setups—it's all there. The 2026 Chief Vintage feels like Indian saying, "We know where we came from, and we're proud of it," while still delivering the performance and reliability today's riders expect. If you love heritage, but you also love actually riding your motorcycle, this one's worth a serious look.

In this episode, we're joined by Patron Member Michael Nielsen.  Michael is a serious rider who lays down a ton of miles every year.  This year Michael is taking on the 2026 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge.  The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge is a long-distance endurance ride designed to test a rider's planning, focus, and mental toughness more than outright speed. Rather than being a traditional race, the challenge centers on navigating a defined route while completing required checkpoints, documentation, and time-based objectives. Riders must balance efficient routing, smart time management, and personal stamina to successfully complete the challenge within the rules. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE What sets the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge apart is its emphasis on rider discipline and self-reliance. Participants are responsible for following the prescribed guidelines and safely managing fatigue.  The event rewards preparation and consistency—things like knowing your bike, planning fuel stops, and adapting to changing weather or traffic conditions can make or break a successful run. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! At its core, the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge celebrates the spirit of endurance motorcycling. It attracts riders who enjoy pushing themselves, not just their machines, while experiencing one of the most iconic stretches of road in the U.S. Whether taken on as a personal achievement or a competitive benchmark against other riders' times and strategies, the challenge has earned a reputation as a true test of commitment, skill, and mindset on two wheels. The Hoka Hey organizers encourage riders to fundraise for charities.  Michael is fundraising for Mile Monsters who support young boys battling Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).   Here are opportunities to support Michael and his charity: Hoka Hey 2026 Fundraiser PayPal Venmo CashApp Connect with Michael Facebook Instagram NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED: The Best Motorcycle Road Isn't the Tail of the Dragon – It's This One!

Fresh off Harley-Davidson's Chapter 2 launch, the 2026 Harley-Davidson lineup brings far more substance than the polished reveal video suggests. The biggest win is clarity: all Grand American Touring models now share the redesigned fairings, eliminating past confusion between Limited and non-Limited bikes and simplifying aftermarket compatibility. Officially revealed models include updated Street Glide and Road Glide Limiteds, multiple CVO touring variants, new trikes, and the Pan America 1250 Limited—giving consumers a clearer, more cohesive range to shop from. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The Street Glide Limited emerges as a true factory-built Ultra-style tourer, complete with a redesigned batwing fairing, LED lower fairing lights, a new Grand Tour Pack with integrated lighting, taller windshield, and the Milwaukee-Eight 117 VVT motor. The Road Glide Limited mirrors this formula with shark-nose styling. Harley also deserves credit for finally treating chrome and black trim equally, offering the same color choices regardless of finish. In the CVO lineup, engines remain familiar (117 VVT for Limiteds, 121 VVT for CVOs), but styling steps up—especially with the long-awaited CVO Street Glide ST, a batwing performance bagger packed with race-inspired components and serious hardware. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Beyond touring, Harley expanded its reach with the Pan America 1250 Limited, aimed squarely at long-distance adventure riders, and significantly improved trikes with dramatically increased rear suspension travel for better ride quality. Missing, however, are the Road King, Bronx, and any true entry-level model, while the Street Glide Ultra appears to be a one-year-only bike—creating opportunities for deals on remaining inventory. Add in the limited-run Liberty Edition models celebrating America's 250th anniversary, and the 2026 lineup stands as one of Harley-Davidson's strongest, most focused releases in years, balancing refinement, performance, and clearer choices for buyers.

In this podcast episode, I'm joined by Lurch and we discuss the Kraus EZ Shift and the Stealthport Motorcycle Battery and Accessory Port for Harley-Davidson.  These two seemingly small and simple items result in big benefits when installed on your Harley-Davidson motorcycle.  So, strap in and tune in as we talk about how these two items improved our riding enjoyment.  We don't just sell items in our store.  We test and review them.  SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! The Kraus EZ‑Shift of M8 and Twin Cam motors is a popular aftermarket shift assist for Harley-Davidson motorcycles designed to improve the feel and ease of gear changes. It works by altering the shift linkage's leverage ratio so that finding neutral — especially from a stop — becomes much easier and more positive, which can reduce clutch wear by allowing riders to drop into neutral quickly and release the clutch instead of dragging it at lights. Made in the USA from high-quality billet aluminum, the device bolts on in just a few minutes and is compatible with both stock and many aftermarket shift levers. Riders report smoother, more confident shifts across all gears, with up to about 20% less effort required compared to stock linkage feel.

What's REALLY Going On Behind the Scenes… The Stealthport Motorcycle Battery Charging & Accessory Port and related Stealthport adapters are aftermarket solutions for Harley-Davidson riders who want a clean, factory-style connection point for charging their bike's battery or powering accessories without dealing with the standard dangling SAE pigtail. Instead of fumbling with the loose cable under the bike, a Stealthport install mounts a low-profile port in a convenient location on the frame or bodywork, using existing threaded holes on many Softail, Touring, and other Harley models. Once installed, the port connects to your bike's OEM battery tender lead, giving you a weather-protected, easily accessible charging point that can also be used for heated gear or other 12 V accessories — all while keeping the look tidy and integrated. Installation is typically straightforward and reversible, and multiple mounting options let you choose how hidden or accessible you want the port to be. Sponsor-Ciro 3D CLICK HERE!

In this podcast we discuss the all-new 2026 Harley-Davidson Police Road Glide.  I was invited to Florida by Harley-Davidson to test ride and review the Police Road Glide.  If you're a motor officer, a fleet manager, or simply curious about what makes the Police Road Glide different from its civilian counterpart, you're in the right place. We breaks down every feature, upgrade, and engineering decision Harley made for this brand-new police model. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE For decades, the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide dominated police fleets across the country. The batwing fairing became an iconic symbol of American law enforcement.  But the landscape began shifting with the explosive popularity of the Mission King of the Baggers race series. Harley invested heavily into R&D from that racing platform, and we've seen that tech filtering into production bikes for years.

The 2026 Harley-Davidson Police Road Glide is the most advanced, well-thought-out motor unit bike Harley has ever created. It solves real-world problems, integrates modern tech, delivers massive performance improvements, and arrives fully equipped from the factory—no more waiting on dealers or installers.

Lurch and I are joined by Ken Madden from Ciro and we talk about counterfeit and knock off motorcycle products.   Ken is a Senior Product Designer at Ciro and he just happens to also be a Patreon supporter of Law Abiding Biker.  Ken, along with Ciro and other motorcycle parts innovators and creators are being ripped off.  Overseas companies that do not respect patents are recreating inferior version of the hard work others put in.  Knockoff motorcycle products may look like a bargain up front, but they come with some serious downsides that riders often don't realize until it's too late. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE 1. Lower Quality Materials Knockoffs typically use cheaper metals, plastics, and electronics. That means parts can crack, fade, corrode, or fail much faster than name-brand components. 2. Poor Fitment & Compatibility These products often aren't engineered to OEM tolerances. Expect problems like: Misaligned holes Rattling or vibrating Parts that require modification to fit Components that interfere with other accessories 3. Reduced Safety This is the biggest risk. Knockoff: Helmets may not meet DOT/ECE standards Brake parts may not withstand heat Lighting may fail or deliver low visibility Structural parts can break under stress A small failure at 70 mph can become a major problem. 4. No Warranty, Support, or Testing Reputable motorcycle brands invest in R&D, testing, and customer support. Knockoffs typically offer: No meaningful warranty No replacement parts No safety testing No customer service Once it fails, you're on your own CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! 5. Shorter Lifespan (Costing More Over Time) Cheap parts often wear out quickly, so riders end up replacing them multiple times. The "savings" disappear fast. 6. Potential Damage to Your Bike Poorly made accessories can: Stress mounting points Scratch paint Cause electrical issues Throw off suspension or geometry Saving $50 on a part can cause hundreds in damage. 7. Resale & Reliability Hit Buyers can spot cheap accessories. Knockoffs on a bike can: Lower resale value Make the bike look poorly maintained Raise concerns about what other shortcuts were taken 8. Ethical & Legal Issues Many knockoffs: Copy patented designs Copy brand logos Are made in unregulated factories Hurt legitimate manufacturers NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED: Vance & Hines V02 Air Intake Install & Overview for Harley-Davidson Motorcycles S&S Cam Kit Installation on Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight | Full Guide Sponsor-Ciro 3D CLICK HERE!

New Patron: Fred Wheeler of Mobile, Alabama Bottom Line Knockoff motorcycle parts may save money up front, but the risks—in safety, reliability, and long-term cost—usually make them a bad investment. Quality aftermarket or OEM parts nearly always pay off in durability and peace of mind.
