PODCAST-This is a special LAB Podcast Episode to cover the every changing information reference the unorganized motorcycle guys (UMG's) attack on the driver of a SUV after he ran over one of the UMG's in New York City in late September 2013. We weigh in on this incident with our opinions and experience. We try to dig deep into the incident while looking at all sides. This is the most fair and balanced podcast on this incident that you will find.

Updated information Article

This was a large group of unorganized motorcycle guys (UMG's) and one of them pulled in front of the SUV and suddenly slowed. The SUV driver, who had his wife and child with him, then lightly struck the rear of the UMG that pulled in front of him. The whole freeway shut down and the massive group of UMG's stopped in front of the SUV driver and his family. Preliminary information shows that the SUV driver feared for his safety from the UMG's and had no escape route. The SUV driver sped forward, running over one of the UMG's, and continued away on the freeway. That UMG is now paralyzed.

The UMG's then chased down the SUV driver and his family, whom finally got caught up in traffic and had to stop. The UMG's then aggressively smashed out his window, pulled him out of the SUV, and beat him. Information is that an off duty under cover Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) was also involved in the incident.

The driver of the SUV has been criminally charged with nothing, but several of the UMG's have been criminally charged. The story is still unfolding and we here at LAB will continue to cover it.

To keep up to date on the ever changing details of this incident, make sure to listen to all the latest episodes of the Law Abiding Biker (LAB) Podcast. Also, as new links, information, and videos become available, I will add them to my original blog at www.LawAbidingBiker.com/BikerGangNYC, where you can get educated and stay up to date on the incident.

VIDEO-This is a very thorough step-by-step tutorial video that will teach you how to install a DynoJet Power Commander V on your Harley Davidson motorcycle right on the kickstand. This will SAVE YOU MONEY by not having to take your Harley to a mechanic to tune you Electronic Fuel Injection. This is a video by bikers for bikers!

Once you have the Power Commander V (PCV) installed then you are ready to install a Dyno Jet Auto Tuner if you choose, which will allow even more fine tuning of your EFI. We also have a tutorial video that will teach you how to install the DynoJet Auto Tuner. The DynoJet Auto Tuner hooks to the Power Commander V (PCV).

You can just run the Power Commander V on your motorcycle and be good with that. If you get new header pipes, mufflers, or air intake on your motorcycle then you need to at least do a basic re-map of your motorcycle's electronic fuel injection (EFI), or things will not run properly.

That is where the Power Commander V comes into play. Most places you order the Power Commander V from will program it with the appropriate base map for your intake/exhaust set up, which eliminates the necessity for you to hook it to a computer. You just tell them what pipes and what air intake you installed and they ship it with the correct generic base map. If it does not ship that way then I would order from another distributor. Or you can connect the PCV with a computer and USB cable and install the correct base map yourself. The maps are free for download from different EFI sales websites.

The great thing about the Power Commander V verses the Harley Davidson dealer standard EFI download is that with the PCV you can always hook it to a computer later and change a base map for free in the event you change pipes or air intake down the road. With the Harley dealer standard download you have to return and pay every time they have to flash your Engine Control Module (ECM). Harley charges $210+ for this download for 15 minutes of work. So, at a bit over $300 the Power Commander V seems the way to go, unless you are absolutely certain you will never change your motorcycle pipes or air intake again.

Now, if you want to ramp things up a bit with tuning your motorcycle's EFI then you can get the DynoJet Auto Tuner to go with the PCV for finer tuning of your motorcycle's electronic fuel injection. The Auto Tuner has 18mm wide-band O2 sensors. One O2 sensor screws into the 18mm bung on the front header pipe and the other on the rear header pipe.

Your stock Harley Davidson has narrow-band 12mm O2 sensors and 12mm bungs on your header pipes. So, you will need to order header pipes with 18mm bungs if you want to install the Auto Tuner. Or, the Auto Tuner comes with the 18mm bungs, which you could have welded into the header pipes and the 12mm bungs removed. Any auto exhaust technician or welder can do this easy weld job for you.

Once we show you how to completely install and wire the DynoJet Auto Tuner, we show you how to get it hooked up to your laptop via a USB cable. You will need a computer for the Auto Tuner, so you can utilize it properly and get the most out of it. So, I strongly suggest you utilize a computer for the Auto Tuner.

You can just install and pair the DynoJet Auto Tuner with the Power Commander V and leave it. It will do some tuning if just left and paired with the Power Commander V. However, it will not make large adjustments to your base map and only small ones while riding.

To accept larger trim values and really make a bigger difference you will need a laptop to do so. DynoJet does not want the Auto Tuner to make larger adjustments automatically while a motorcyclist is riding. So, you have to return after riding, hook up a laptop, and manually agree to the suggested trim values and then push the base map back to the Power Commander V. Of course, in the Auto Tuner video we show you how to use the DynoJet software and do all this.

Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up!

Harley stage-one air intake on your Harley Davidson motorcycle. This will **save you money** by not having to take your Harley to a mechanic. You can do this yourself right on the kickstand in your garage or on your patio! This is a video by bikers for bikers.

One of the first things you can to to your Harley Davidson after buying it is to install a stage-one air intake. It is one of the cheaper yet effective things you can do to improve performance and horsepower. The stock air intakes tend to not allow enough air flow, which manufacturers of production motorcycles must do to stay within federal emissions regulations to sell these bikes.

After you make alterations to a motorcycle air intake system by opening is up and letting it breath better, you will need to re-map your electronic fuel injection (EFI) for the motor to run properly. You can really tune your EFI with aftermarket tuners. This is a great way to gain power and performance and you will definitely notice. We have tutorial videos and everything you need to know about EFI tuners and tuning your motorcycle.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT EFI TUNERS!

Easy to understand Podcast Episode & article on electronic fuel injection (EFI) tuners.

Exhaust would be the next logical item to improve upon, but can be rather expensive. Stock Harley Davidson and other motorcycle pipes have catalytic converters in them, again because of federal manufacturing emission laws. These “cats” as we call them really don't let things flow and rob you of power and performance. Many aftermarket performance head pipes come free and clear of cats and that will make a huge difference in performance and sound. Additionally, the cats cause a lot of extra heat where gases are caught up and restricted, thus putting the heat onto the rider. Your pipes in the area of the cats can get red hot, but they are usually covered by heat shields, so you don't really see this.

The stock mufflers also have very restrictive baffles in them that also hinder flow. Many after market pipes have smaller baffles, but remember that smaller baffles means a louder motorcycle.

PODCAST-We start out thanking several bikaholics and Law Abiding Biker community members for their donations and answer an email about the purchase of a Harley. #LawAbidingBiker #MotorcyclePodcast #BikerPodcast

I recently got a flat rear tire on my 2011 Harley Street Glide while on an August 6, 2013 ride we were on with our “Big River” Sworn Few LEMC Prospective Chapter. I was running the standard Dunlop tires that Harley put on the bike. There is no Harley dealership in the Wenatchee, WA area where we were riding, so we found a local shop that treated us very well. The Big River crew hooked me up with this shop and trailered my bike there for me. True brotherhood…………The name of the shop in Wenatchee, WA is Bikerstown USA and we would like to thank them.

They were not selling the Dunlop tires, so I switched to the Michelin Commander II tires. I had heard good things about these tires. I had them change both my rear and front tires. My front tire had some weather cracks and we discuss that. I have been very pleased with the performance of the Michelin Commander II tires and put them through the test on our 2,200 mile trip we recently took.

We tell some funny stories and give a thorough review of the Techniche “Hyperkewl” motorcycle cooling vest. Several Sworn Few LEMC members purchased these vests and have been testing them. Essentially, you soak the vest with water and put it over your T-shirt. We go into detail about how these vests keep you cool while riding in extremely warm temperatures, thus “keeping your cool at all times”. We give you our opinion on these vests and an overall rating.
