New History Channel Biker Series: Outlaw Chronicles: Hell’s Angels

August 13, 2015 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

We will likely be covering and discussing the newest History Channel biker/motorcycle series, Outlaw Chronicles: Hell's Angels, here on the Law Abiding Biker Podcast as we have done with other biker related History Channel series in the past, so stay tuned. We will see if the History Channel uses the same format (Hollywood Style) they used for Gangland Undercover where Charles Falco infiltrated the Vagos MC. I certainly believe many things were thrown in for pure entertainment purposes.

Series Premiere is:

About: (From History Channel)

The Hells Angels are the single most notorious motorcycle club in history. They’re also one of the most secretive organizations on the planet.

He’ll tell the world about everything from initiation rites to murder for hire.

About George Christie Jr. (From History Channel)

George Christie Jr. was born in 1947 in Ventura, California to a family of Greek immigrants and grew up an only child. From an early age, he was fascinated by motorcycles and outlaw culture, and by the time he started school his intelligence and rebellious attitude set him apart from his peers. As a teenager, he became an avid surfer.When one of his surfing buddies showed up at the beach one day on a Harley-Davidson, George knew what he had to do. In 1966, despite the objections of his father, he [Read more…]

VIDEO-When you remove the rear wheel from your Harley Davidson then you will need to check the tension or deflection of your final/secondary drive belt after you put it back on.

A belt that it too tight will whine and can cause transmission leaks or belt failure. A belt that it too loose or misaligned can jump cogs on the rear drive sprocket. You should also check it during routine oil changes and maintenance.

Harley Davidson and Harman Kardon silently released Boom!™ Box software update version 1.19.1 in July, 2015. Bikaholics everywhere are wondering if they should update. Well, that is what I have been here for all along. I took the leap of faith for you and tested the update to make sure it does not break more than it fixes like in the past.

I give the green light to update to this new version, 1.19.1. Mostly, because I heavily tested the last update, version 1.19.0, and in this newest version, 1.19.1, only one new item was added to the update list. Other than that it was all the same exact updates/fixes we saw in version 1.19.0 back in May, 2015. Not sure why they came out with a new version for one item? That one new item is labeled as “Road Tech zumo prompts inaudible”.

If you don't know how to properly update your system software and maps then check out my Official Boom!™ Box Software Update Video.

This update claims to fix the following: (1.19.1)

New Features:

-High Contrast Day Colors

Issues Fixed:

Road Tech zumo prompts inaudible (Only new item for this update)(Below items were all in version 1.19.0)
AVC inoperable until the first time it is adjusted
Radio does not switch between units properly
Volume adjustment from hand controls does not function
Presets do not recall correct station/media
Radio remains “off” after engine crank
Address field cannot be edited
Radio stuck on splash screen/accept screen
Temperature between C & F inaccurate
WB seek up/down broken after ignition cycle
Radio system stays on after shutdown for an extended period
Traffic Announcements not working
AM/FM Reception missing strong stations on seek
Media not playing after ignition cycle
Brazil dealerships missing
Performance and stability enhancements

HARLEY-DAVIDSON ISSUES SADDLEBAG RECALL-NHTSA RECALL CAMPAING NUMBER 15V-427

July 15, 2015 By Ryan Urlacher 2 Comments

I had this recall completed and it took literally 5 minutes. Dealerships are just replacing the 4 (2 on each side) saddle bag pin retaining clips. Each dealership was sent a large bag(s) of the appropriate clips (saddlebag mounting receptacles).

Recall Info:

The Harley-Davidson Motor Company issued a recall stating that the saddlebag mounting receptacle, p/n 10900009 on some model year 2014 and 2015 Touring family vehicles may not adequately secure the saddlebag to the motorcycle during use.

Safety Risk

If this condition remains undetected, the saddlebag may become separated from the motorcycle while it is in motion, possibly creating a hazard for other motorists.

REMEDY

Owners of the affected motorcycles will be asked to arrange service with an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer, who will confirm that the motorcycle is covered by this recall. If covered, the dealer will install the updated receptacle from the recall kit provided. This service will be provided at no charge to the customer. We strongly urge you to take your motorcycle to your dealer to have the appropriate service performed as soon as possible. Should you choose to ride your motorcycle prior to this service, we urge you to be aware of this condition. Some product campaigns may have expired and you may have to pay for the service. Please see your local Harley-Davidson dealer for further details.

VIDEO-2015 Harley Road Glide Dealership Purchase Process-Lurch gets a new bike!

July 15, 2015 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

VIDEO-In this video Lurch and I ride to the Rattlesnake Mountain Harley-Davidson dealership at 3305 W 19th Ave, Kennewick, WA 99338. Lurch has a plan to trade in his 2008 Harley Street Glide for a 2015 Harley Road Glide Special. Although I have always personally liked the look of the batwing style fairing on the Street Glide models, Harley has re-designed the shark nose fairing on the 2015 Road Glide models and I like the new look much better.

Lurch and his 2015 Road Glide

Lurch is 6 foot 6 inches tall, so because of the fixed fairing (does not turn with the handlebars) we will be able to install 13″ ape handlebars and push them forward farther. This will give Lurch a more stretched out and comfortable riding position. The bars can not be pushed as far forward on the Street Glide, because of the different fairing that turns with the bars.

How to use & operate Schuberth SRC Bluetooth Headset System for C3 Modular Helmet-Complete Guide & Instructions

July 11, 2015 By Ryan Urlacher 3 Comments

Video-In this free video I show you everything you need to know to successfully set up and operate the Schuberth SRC Bluetooth Headset System. The SRC system was designed by Cardo Communications to be specifically used with the Schuberth C3 helmet by replacing the OEM neck roll pad. The Schuberth SRC is a super slick and clean head set and communications system and you don't have to have a bulky box hanging off the side of your motorcycle helmet.

That's right, you can listen to your music inside your helmet via bluetooth from your smart phone or mp3 player. You can pause/play your music list and even skip songs forward and back with the buttons right on the SRC! The SRC has a built-in FM radio with six programmable presets. You can talk to two other riders with specific Cardo headset systems, making it three-way communications within 1000 feet. Once paired via bluetooth with your smart phone you can make and receive phone calls right inside your helmet via voice commands.

Here is link to the original review video and breakdown of the Schuberth C3 Modular Helmet I did

The SRC speakers are plenty loud even while going down the freeway and I never turn the system volume all the way up. I have tested phone calls and the person on the other end can't even tell I am riding my Harley Davidson while talking with them.

Of course I show you how to do all of the above and more with the Schuberth SRC System in this tutorial video, so check it out. You will still want your smartphone attached in front of you on your handlebars with a Biker Gripper Motorcycle Cell Phone Mount to make some things easier and I discuss this in the video.

The only negative with the SRC System is that you can only update the firmware in the unit with a PC and there is no MAC support at this time. That is a failure in my opinion. Only with a PC can you connect your SRC System with the provided USB cable and update the firmware.

Here is a link to the Schuberth Systems Update Page
You can register your Schuberth SRC at the same above link & will need your serial number
