New Law Abiding Biker Store Building Purchased!

October 4, 2023 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

In January 2023 we purchased a new commercial building to house the Law Abiding Biker Store in Union Gap, WA. Until now, we'd been leasing a commercial facility in the Richland, WA area.

The building's location is on a main commercial street in Union Gap and about 15 minutes away from my home in the greater Yakima County area. It is also very close to Lurch's home and that's certainly a good thing since he's the Chief Operations Officer.

The building sits not far off Interstate 82, which is the main freeway running through Yakima, WA, so it will be easy for anyone to get to, including our store operations manager, Big Daddy Kane.

We are occupying one side of this building for the store and for now, we'll be leasing out the other side. Our side of the building does need some updating and alterations, which we are doing some of them to save some money and contracting the rest out.

We plan on moving the entire store and all inventory in June 2023 and leaving our Richland, WA location.

2023 Indian Pursuit Long Term Test Ride & Review; Is This The Perfect Touring Motorcycle?

September 24, 2023 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

I got to spend 3 weeks test-riding and reviewing this 2023 Indian Pursuit Dark Horse motorcycle with the premium package. I rode the Pursuit in many different environments and on many different roads. Thanks to the Indian Marketing Team for shipping this bike out to me for a thorough review. See all my motorcycle review videos here!

👉 SEE HOW THIS INDIAN PURSUIT STACKS UP TO THE 2023 HARLEY-DAVIDSON CVO ROAD GLIDE AND STREET GLIDE!

I really wanted to put some miles on this bike, so the first weekend we went on a long-distance overnight road trip. I also rode this bike daily at times to really test it in a real-world environment and really get a feel for what it's all about.

Here are some of the major things you should know: (see the video below for the full review and many more details)

I first used the Indian Ride Command online trip planner to plan our trip. It didn't take me long to find my way around and also find some glitches, but hey, it's free. It had some features that I really liked such as choosing the color of your route and a 3D flyover of your trip. I then downloaded the .gpx file and uploaded it to the Ride Command unit on the bike using a memory stick with no issues. You can also share a link to your ride with others if you like.

We set out for our trip and I activated Apple Car Play on the Ride Command by plugging in my iPhone and pairing my Bluetooth headset with Ride Command, which are requirements to activate it. Often times Apple Car Play would not activate or it'd take up to 3 minutes to to do so. I also resorted to unplugging and plugging in my iPhone to get it to activate. The internal navigation in Ride Command also reversed my routes and had some other routing issues during our trip.

There were several other glitches I experienced while using the Ride Command. My hope is that Indian can fix some of these issues with future software updates. With that said, Harley-Davidson has had many of the same issues and glitches with its Boom Box Infotainment System.

The Indian Pursuit is equipped with the PowerPlus liquid-cooled 108 ci engine. This engine was amazing as far as power and performance are concerned. This is a 1768 cc engine and it produces 122 HP and 129 ft lbs torque at 3800 RPM. I found this motor definitely comes alive at 3800 RPM and above. There is plenty of passing power and throttle blips can bring the front tire off the ground. Every time I rolled the throttle I was smiling.

The PowerPlus engine does produce a fair amount of vibrations in the handlebars, seat, and floorboards, especially above 3800 RPMs. There is plenty of feedback, but not to the point of being negative. It was just more than I expected. The bike settles down nicely when you're just cruising down the freeway for long periods.

This motor also puts out more heat than I would have expected considering it's liquid-cooled. It was very noticeable at below 50mph, even with the lower fairing vents open. It's especially noticeable shin down on the insides of your legs and feet. This is not a deal breaker, but certainly must be noted.

I was very impressed with how the stock front suspension and rear suspension handled. The Indian Purusuit I had was equipped with the premium package and because of that, I could adjust the rear suspension preload within the Ride Command. This was amazing!

There are other things that you also get when you upgrade from a base price of $32,000 to the premium package, adding an additional $3,000 to the price tag. You get a two-up heated seat, adjustable passenger floorboards, lower fairing compartment, integrated lower LED lights, and smart lean technology, which is the bike sensing lean angle to adjust traction control and ABS. I'd definitely say that if you can afford it, go for the premium package.

The bike is certainly made for touring, coming stock with heated grips, cruise control, 3 ride modes, a 6-speed transmission, and a 6-gallon fuel tank. You'll get around 37-40 mpg depending on how you are riding. The transmission is quieter and there is very little audible or tactile feedback when shifting.

LISTEN TO THE LAW ABIDING BIKER PODCAST!

The Indian Pursuit stereo system with 4 speakers sounded great for stock with no distortion at full volume. I could hear the speakers just fine while cruising at 70-80 mph on the freeway while wearing a full-face helmet.

The bike cornered well with no wobble, even on those long sweeper corners on the freeway at higher speeds. The bike also felt very solid on tight corners and it felt stable while transitioning my weight from side to side. With it's 31-degree lean angle, I dragged the rear of the floorboards in corners when cornering more aggressively. Also, when shifting down aggressively to use engine compression, the bike is less responsive than others I've tested. So, you just need to anticipate and shift down earlier.

When testing the Indian Pursuit on our our Police Motor Officer technical skills course, I learned this bike with its wheelbase, lean angle, and wheel size setup, makes it turn 2 feet wider than something like a Harley-Davidson Electra, Road Glide, or Street Glide, which have a 1 1/2″ shorter wheelbase.

The Brembo brakes, dual caliper up front and singe in the rear, felt very nice when emergency braking, and the front suspension made for a controlled dive when really applying front brakes.

Overall, I really enjoyed my time with this Indian Pursuit Dark Horse with the premium package. If money were no issue, I'd certainly buy a Pursuit and add it to the stable. I really didn't want to give it back.

Harley Finally Released The Police Road Glide ! Must Know Info!

September 4, 2023 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

Harley Davidson finally announced the release of the Police Road Glide. For years they've offered an Electra Glide and Road King police package, but now they've added the Road Glide to the police line-up. I was fortunate to be at the 120th Anniversary where they made the official announcement of the Harley Police Road Glide. (see video below)

Bad Roads, Head Turning, & Vibrations In Milwaukee!-TEST RIDE

August 22, 2023 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

I got to test ride and review the 2023 Harley-Davidson Breakout when I was at the 120th Anniversary celebration in Milwaukee, WI. I share my thoughts and opinions in this video to help you make a decision on whether this is the right bike for you. (see video below)

The 2023 Breakout is equipped with the 117 CI Milwaukee-Eight engine that produces 101 Horsepower and 123ft. lbs of torque. When you roll that throttle, it'll definitely throw you back in the seat.

The Harley Breakout is more of a chopper-style motorcycle with a wide 240mm rear tire, 21-inch front wheel, 18-inch rear wheel, and drag bars to further help with the chopper look.

So, this bike is in the Harley “cruiser” category and after riding it, I would not consider it for any longer distance rides. It's definitely not a touring motorcycle. It's suitable for shorter day rides or ripping around town. With the wide rear tire, it's not very responsive when transitioning from side to side. But, for such a wide rear tire bike, it performed fairly well.

The Harley Breakout is all chromed out and you can get it in 4 different color options.

I really enjoyed riding the Harley Breakout around Milwaukee for 2 days. It's a blast ripping around and giving throttle blips. I didn't see many other Breakouts at the 120th Anniversary and this bike certainly turns heads when you ride by or park it. It is just beautiful to look and as long as you know what this bike was made for, you'll be super happy with it.

I couldn't help but think of all the customizations you could make on this bike to make it your own.

Biker Review of the Icon Patrol 3 Boots-Progressive Motorcycle Riding Shoes

July 30, 2023 By Ryan Urlacher 1 Comment

I recently took a 10-day, 4,000-mile motorcycle trip while wearing and riding with the Icon Patrol 3 Boots. These replace the Icon Patrol 2 boots, which I absolutely loved and did a review on back in 2021 on my YouTube Channel. There have been significant changes made to these progressive motorcycle riding shoes/boots. In the below video, I discuss what's been changed and I give a thorough review.

👉Get the Icon Patrol 3 Boots Here

I am always searching for & testing progressive motorcycle riding gear. I'm not very traditional and know there is way better gear to wear when riding a Harley, other than heavy bulky leather coats, chaps, and big clunky biker boots. I like gear that is protective, functional, and often works on and off the bike.

CHECK OUT MY OTHER MOTORCYCLE RIDING SHOE/BOOT REVIEWS HERE!

The Icon Patrol 3 Boots met my standards and I really enjoyed wearing them during this particular motorcycle trip and others. When you first look them over you can tell they are built well and of good quality. These shoes/boots offer much riding protection, yet are comfortable and stylish. They come on and off very easily with the BOA lacing system. With the BOA lacing system, classic laces are replaced by stainless steel wires, connected to a turning knob. You can tighten or loosen these shoes to just the right feel.

* If you appreciate our articles and videos, please consider purchasing these riding shoes directly from the Law Abiding Biker Store (link below)

👉Get the Icon Patrol 3 Boots Here

During my trips, I did ride in the rain and it was very nice not to have to worry or pull over as the Icon Patrol 3 boots are waterproof! I could just ride on in conjunction with my other progressive riding gear.

Versatility:

I also walked around town every evening after riding all day for dinner and entertainment wearing these shoes/boots. They worked great for that too! That's what I'm talking about when I say I like motorcycle shoes/boots that work for many different things. Space is limited when packing for motorcycle trips, so multi-purpose shoes/boots such as the Icon Patrol 3 Boots work great. On a stiffness scale of 1-10, 10 being the stiffest, I'd rate these at a 6 and they break in easily and nicely. They are very comfortable.

Environments:

I rode with and wore the Icon Patrol 3 Boots in temperatures ranging from 33 degrees to 100+ degrees and they handled it well. I rode in sustained 33-degree temperatures for 2 hrs and my toes did not get cold. Of course, in 100-degree temps, your feet can get warm but that is understood and the same thing would happen in any boots. My feet did not get any warmer in the Icon Patrol 3 boots than in any other motorcycle-riding shoe/boot I've tested thus far. They actually breathed rather well in hot weather.

Sizing:

I am a U.S. men's size 9.5. I ordered this size. They fit perfectly and are true to the listed sizes.

Overall, I love the protection, look, the functionality of the Icon Patrol 3 Boots. They are very comfortable and work both on and off the motorcycle. I highly recommend them for local or cross-country motorcycle riding!

Icon Patrol 3 Boots Description:

Modern aesthetics and durable yet comfortable construction come together in the Patrol 3 WP CE Boots. Thanks to the textile and TechTuff upper and the eVent waterproof breathable boot lining inside, your feet will stay dry and comfortable even when the weather gets messy. A hi-rebound foam midsole enhances comfort, while a reinforced midfoot shank provides additional structure. A BOA closure system allows for simple entry and exit and the premium rubber outsole is oil and slip resistant. The streets are no match for you in the Patrol 3 WP CE Boots!

Features:

Engineered textile and 1000D Polyester upper
eVent Waterproof lining
Oil-resistant & slip-resistant outsole
Hi-rebound EVA foam insole
BOA lacing system with micro-adjustable dial, strong lightweight laces and low friction lace guides
D3O ankle insert
