Iron Order MC & Mongols MC Colorado Biker Club Shooting-Controversy & Truths-Educate Yourself

By 19 Comments

denver colorado biker shooting mongols and iron orderI am writing this article completely independent as a long time law abiding biker and in reference to the bad information being reported about the recent biker shooting and stabbing January 30, 2016 at the Motorcycle Expo at the National Western Complex in Denver, Colorado.

I am not corrupted or influenced by any special interest groups like the mainstream media and other basement bloggers clearly are. The mainstream media are not bikers and know nothing about the biker community, which is why they will never report correctly on biker incidents like this.  They are printing what they are being fed by special interest groups within the motorcycle community & are being manipulated like puppets, which is common.

I have no affiliation with either of the motorcycle clubs involved, neither the Iron Order MC nor the Mongols MC. I have never personally experienced a problem with members of either club. I am not here to speculate or purposely target either motorcycle club. With integrity, I will report the truths and facts & let the appropriate criminal investigation of the incident play out.

The Iron Order Motorcycle Club is NOT a law enforcement motorcycle club or “cop club” as so many want to call it to justify their childish conspiracy hallucinations and false theories.  The fact is, that a very small overall number of the Iron Order's membership are Law Enforcement Officers (LEO's). The real truth is that the Iron Order MC is made up of carpenters, truck drivers, dentists, lawyers, doctors, and military personnel, just to name a few. And yes, some LEO's.

So, why are we not calling the Iron Order MC a “doctor club”, “carpenter club”, or a “veteran's club” when more of those type of members exist. I'll tell you why-because it is not “sexy” for the basement bloggers and traditional media to call it something else. If they call it a “truck driver” club then it will quickly defeat their agenda and conspiracy rants about police and government conspiracy. They couldn't fuel headlines like “cop club shoots Mongol” if they called it a “dentist club”. “Cop club” sounds “sexy” doesn't it?

Clearly our society is overwhelmed with information and to be quite honest (not trying to offend any particular career),  if the mainstream media and basement bloggers ran headlines reading “truck driver club shoots Mongol” a very small percentage of people would be interested. It is so much more sexy to call the Iron Order a “cop club” and it sells commercial spots. It's about money like usual and what will draw readers.

If you are going to call the Iron Order a “cop club” then you better be ready to call the [Read more…]

Harley Wireless Boom!™ Box Voice Command/Recognition Microphone-7 Pin Connector-Does it work?

By 3 Comments

Harley Boom Box Wireless Microphone HeadsetWe have received a ton of emails and comments on our YouTube Channel, so we thought we would address this for all you Bikaholics out there!

You may have come across items on eBay and Amazon labeled “Wireless Microphone for 2014 & up Harley Davidson” at a cost of around $45. Basically, it is nothing more than a flexible stick microphone that plugs into your Harley Davidson 7 pin headset port on top of your gas tank on full touring Harley models. It has a foam wind screen over the mic to cut down on wind noise.

UPDATE HERE-BEST HARLEY-DAVIDSON HEADSETS!

The claim is, you can sit up straight, ride on down the road, and give voice commands to the Harley Boom Box System without the use of a “wired headset.” I submit that this is a wired microphone (minus ear speakers) as it plugs directly into the 7 pin connector. After giving voice commands, the voice within the Boom Box will respond through your stereo speakers.

The Boom Box Infotainment System is capable of voice commands such as navigation, making phone calls, changing radio stations, finding songs/artist by name on your paired smartphone or MP3 device, skipping to the next song and so on.

We obtained one of these microphones upon numerous requests by our audience and we put it to the test. Of course, we put it all together for you in a free informational video. You make your own decision on whether you want one of these microphones for your Harley Boom Box.

As usual, we tested this microphone in a real world [Read more…]

Colorado Motorcycle Expo Biker Shooting & Stabbing-1 Killed & 7 Injured

By 2 Comments

denver colorado biker shooting mongols and iron orderWe are gathering information here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media in reference to a biker shooting that occurred on the early afternoon of Saturday January 30, 2016 at the Motorcycle Expo at the National Western Complex in Denver, Colorado.

As usual, other unreputable and rarely viewed biker websites and blogs are already up to their juvenile conspiracy theories with very little information actually released at this time. With integrity, we will cover things fair and balanced here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media.

The traditional media outlets are being fed like puppets as usual and headlining things like “cop club” starts brawl and “cop club” shooting. They like printing “cop club” in the headlines as it sells commercial spots & makes people actually read their articles.  If they only printed a headline saying “biker gang shooting”, nobody really cares to read that anymore.  Come to a real biker website like this Law Abiding Biker™ to learn the actual truth.

Related Article:

It appears the biker brawl was between members of the Mongols MC, an admitted 1% er outlaw motorcycle gang (OMG), and the Iron Order Motorcycle Club, an admitted law abiding biker club. No, the Iron Order MC is NOT a Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club (LEMC) as some want to claim to validate their own conspiracy theories.

If you want to call the Iron Order a “cop club” then you better be ready to call organizations like the Combat Veteran's United MC a “cop club” too, because they have LEO's & military among their ranks.  There are many other law abiding biker clubs with some LEO's as members.

During our two-part Podcast interview series with Ray “Izod” Lubesky, it was learned that there are LEO's in the Iron Order MC, but a very small overall number. Ray Lubesky was one of the founders of the IOMC and long time International President. He explained they have a very diverse membership of people within the club to include Doctors, Lawyers, Truck Drives, Carpenters, Dentists, Military, LEO's and so on. So, why not call the Iron Order MC a “carpenter club”? As I stated, because that doesn't sound as juicy as a “cop club”  for headlines & conspiracy theories.

Listen to Podcast Episodes 64 & 65 with Ray Lubesky:

At a 6 p.m. news conference, Denver Police Chief Robert White said four people were shot and one person was stabbed. One person died and three are in critical condition. Three others received minor injuries.

Information and sources indicate it is a Mongol MC member that is deceased. No arrests have been made, but one person of interest in connection with the incident is being questioned. The Motorcycle Expo will not open tomorrow for safety reasons in the wake of these violent events.

There was no security screening at this event and there were innocent woman and children present. Are motorcycle events going to have to take a more proactive approach by not allowing bikers to wear colors? Should law abiding bikers, the motorcycling majority,  not support events that allow outlaw motorcycle gangs inside? If it weren't for the law abiding bikers attending (99% ers), these events simply would not exist. These are just questions, so leave your comments below this article if you have any thoughts.

Let's not forget another senseless event we reported on in Podcast Episode #63.  On June 26, 2014 at 8:00 PM Iron Order MC member Kristopher Stone was forced to shoot criminal outlaw biker Zachariah Tipton after he and another Black Pistons member stalked him & then committed a brutal two on one gang-style assault on him outside Nippers Beach Grille in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Based on the overwhelming evidence & video footage, the State Attorney stated that Stone was well within the law to defend his life from the brutal attack.

Iron Order member after the biker brawl inside the facility. This picture proves nothing except what we already know. Yes, shots were fired. The reason behind those shots is what will be investigated. It may be a “self defense”, but we don't yet know. Many law abiding citizens & bikers legally carry firearms.

UPDATE 02/01/16:

Authorities on Monday identified the 46-year-old Mongol MC member shot and killed as Victor Mendoza.  An attorney for the Mongols said he was a member of the club. Several guns have been recovered, but no arrests have been made. Seven men were injured in the fight; three remain in critical condition.

Denver police Cmdr. Ron Saunier said the battle started as an argument at the bottom of a stairwell and quickly escalated. Investigators are still unsure what the fight was about.

John C. Whitfield, a lawyer for Iron Order, said the group is despised by counterparts. Their three-piece patch, their law enforcement membership and their club colors are points of contention.

“When you start wearing patches like the three-piece patch, even if you wear a certain color, it can make some of these 1 percent clubs unhappy,” Whitfield said. “Because of that we are always getting poked and tweaked. It has led to some altercations.”

Typically, new MC clubs are expected to ask permission from outlaws like the Mongols MC before using certain insignias. Whitfield says the Iron Order has not followed that unwritten rule.

The Iron Order says a Colorado Department of Corrections officer fired a shot during the expo brawl, and the DOC confirmed Monday evening that employee Derrick Duran was involved.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said in a 2014 report that the Iron Order's patch “has infuriated” members of several outlaw groups, including the Hells Angels, Iron Horsemen, Pagans and Bandidos. Back-and-forth beatings ensued.

Podcast Episode #63 Link:

We will continue to report on this situation as details and actual real evidence become available. We hope to have a podcast on the matter out very soon, so stay tuned.

Right Rear Shock Upside Down or Flipped on 2014 & Newer Harley Touring-The Facts

By Leave a Comment

Yes, it is a fact that many 2014 and newer Harley-Davidson touring models had the right side rear shock installed upside down at the factory-maybe?. Is this purposeful or an accident?  You many not even know that yours is installed upside down, as doesn't really change the ride of the bike and causes no reported safety concerns. This possible issue can be found on some 2014, 2015, and 2016 Harley Touring models.

Free Video of Interest:

The problem arises when trying to install 4 point docking hardware to add a luggage rack or passenger backrest. Because the right rear shock is upside down, it does not allow enough clearances to install the hardware.

For this reason, Harley Davidson put out a service bulletin (Service Bulletin M-1386A) to all dealerships to correct the problem and install the right rear shock in the same manner as the left side rear shock. This corrects any clearance issues when installing hardware.

2015 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special (FLHXS)

Again, we have no information that with the left side and right rear shocks installed in a different direction, that there are any safety or functionality concerns.

Further information is that Showa, the company that makes the rear shocks, reports that they can be installed either way.

So, don't sweat it and you can certainly turn it around if those are your particular needs. If not, then leave it be and ride on!

Special thanks to Law Abiding Biker Patron Member Ben Spadaro for bringing this issue up in the awesome forums within the private Law Abiding Biker Facebook Group. And for all the input from other private Patron only members.  Yup, bikers helping bikers.

LAB-96-Inside the Mongols Nation With Lisa Ling of CNN-Manipulating the Media

Inside Mongols Motorcycle Biker Club Podcast Art copyPodcast-In no way does Law Abiding Biker™ Podcast & Media promote or support activities by any outlaw criminal motorcycle gangs (OMG's). We are simply reporting on the recent one hour CNN special called “Inside the Mongols Nation“, which was hosted by Lisa Ling. We had numerous emails requesting we cover the story and put truth and perspective to it. We listened to our audience and recorded this podcast episode for that reason.

We take a fair and balanced approach & have much insight and perspective into what is fact and what is fiction based on our experiences. There were many facts that were reported in the CNN special and also many things that make little or no sense. To be fair to Lisa Ling, she has no experience with OMG's and that makes it much harder to decipher the truths.

Make note that we have never reported that every single biker in every criminal outlaw motorcycle gang is committing daily criminal acts. That would make us like them to assume and place broad stereo types. However, it is fact based on history and evidence that there are factions within these outlaw 1%er clubs that are committing and continue to commit criminal acts to include murder, assault, extortion, racketeering, robbery, & drug trafficking just to name a few. And it is tolerated within the clubs and many look the other way.

Organized motorcycle gangs are becoming much more astute when it comes to the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO). You'll here it when criminal indictments are handed down on individual outlaw club members. Leaders in these biker gangs will say such things as…….that may have occurred, but the club did not know about it. RICO allows the Federal Government to go after entire criminal organizations such as outlaw biker gangs to dismantle them.

It is a cat and mouse game and by keeping things loose in the club and letting smaller groups conduct criminal acts it does not involve the “organization” as a whole, thus helping avoid [Read more…]
