VIDEO-Craftsman Extension Cord Reel Retractable 30-Foot 14-gauge cord Review & Information

January 18, 2015 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

VIDEO-An extension cord retractable reel can be a great addition to your shop or work space. While working on you motorcycle you can simply pull the cord down from the ceiling or wall and it has 3 outlets. When you are done with cord you can simply let the retractable wheel take it back in. This tends to keep your shop floor clear of a bunch of cords that can be in the way or tripped over. Certainly not a necessity, but can be a great addition to your space where you wrench on your motorcycle.

In this video I show you a Craftsman brand extension cord retractable reel with a 30 foot 14 gauge cord. This is the Craftsman “professional” series, but you could just get the regular Craftsman base model and save a few bucks.

Model # 83929 retails for about $60.99

Iron Order Motorcycle Club Fighting ALS | Walk to Defeat ALS

January 16, 2015 By Ryan Urlacher 6 Comments

EVENT/FUNDRAISER-The Iron Order Motorcycle Club (MC) has raised much money to help fight ALS and is at it again in 2015 in a big way! Join them in the fight to find treatments and a cure. ALS has struck their club in a very personal way. I know that law abiding bikers are the most giving people on the face of this planet. Let's all come together and support the Iron Order MC in their mission to raise money. This is how the law abiding biker community rolls…….

A.L.S. stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or sometimes called Lou Gehrig's disease. It is a neurological disorder that attacks the motor neurons that enable communication between the brain and control of a person's voluntary muscles. No one knows the cause of ALS. There are many researchers with different theories. There is no cure. In 50% of people the average life span is 3-5 years after diagnosis. Only 8% live over [Read more…]

Live To Ride! Chic Biker for Chic Bikers-A Female Riders Perspective

January 13, 2015 By Matt Couchman 1 Comment

Hello fellow Bikers! & Welcome to the first of what I hope will be many articles by a Chic biker for Chic bikers and anyone else who cares to read! I'll spend the column space for this first one giving you some insight into my riding story and passion. After that it's a blank chalkboard. This is NOT my platform – it's for everyone who rides who's a part of Law Abiding Biker (or not I guess) who'd like to see a topic explored from a more female oriented side. While I will definitely have my opinion (ask my husband!) on an issue I will always attempt to look at it from all angles. I felt like this might be a good addition to Law Abiding Biker because in general (NOT just at Law Abiding Biker) I find there is a huge lack of anything/everything geared toward women riders. Ok – sure – you can find pink and bling T-shirts everywhere for “us” – but that's not what I mean – and on the other end – Ryan & co. do a great job of telling us how to change the front tire on our bike – also good but – I guess I'm looking for a little something somewhere in the middle of those two ends. When listening to some of the podcasts as well, I know that as women, we often have very different perspectives on some of the issues. So, I do have ideas, but I would really love audience participation – from anyone who rides regardless of gender – send me a question, thought or suggestion for future articles!

I am a fairly new rider – at least compared to so many of my fellow bikers. Up until 12 years ago I had never even been on a motorcycle. Then I met my wonderful husband (to be) Dan. In his garage was parked the most beautiful [Read more…]

VIDEO-Install Lithonia Fluorescent Lights in Garage or Shop Ceiling & Review

January 10, 2015 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

A Video by Bikers for Bikers

VIDEO/TUTORIAL/REVIEW: We are always looking for new things to spruce up the Law Abiding Biker® Podcast & Media garage/shop where we work on and film many of our free tutorial videos and our popular for purchase videos. We have wanted better lighting for filming and to see what we are working on. We only had regular light fixtures with four 100 watt bulbs. The light was dim and spread out. It did not have good coverage and we had to use many filming lights for production value.

I had put this project off for some time as we have been super busy. We were setting in to film some major motorcycle tutorial videos and I finally got it done.

I purchased four Lithonia general purpose fluorescent light strip fixtures part #P001834B and paid about $40 each with 2 bulbs included. I was able to get the lighting direct and at a discount through a contractor I know. That means a total of four fixtures and eight bulbs were added to the shop.

In this free tutorial video I assemble, wire, and install Lithonia brand fluorescent lighting to the ceiling of the Law Abiding Biker® Media garage/shop. Save yourself some money and do this project yourself. I highly recommend putting good lighting in your garage or work area. We are super happy with the new fluorescent lighting. It makes filming and working on motorcycles that much better.

VIDEO-Husky Brand Bar-Shop-Garage Swivel Stool Tutorial Video & Review | Home Depot

A Video by Bikers for Bikers:

VIDEO/TUTORIAL/REVIEW: We are always looking for new things to spruce up the Law Abiding Biker® Podcast & Media garage/shop where we work on and film many of our free tutorial videos and our popular for purchase videos. We have wanted bar type swivel stools for some time to sit on in the shop. And just to hang out in the podcast/media studio. We have never broke down & made the purchase, because they can be so expensive depending on which logo is printed on them.

Pricing a Harley-Davidson Swivel Bar Stool on Amazon is $79.99. Love the HD stool, but it looks like so many other swivel stools and I'm sure it is basically the same. We did not want to pay for the HD logo, but just to get started with swivel shop stools. We have enough other expenses to deal with. I put this off for several years believe it or not.

I was walking through the Home Depot and stumbled upon some Husky Brand Bar Swivel Stools model #1656 for $18 each! And come to find out, this is the normal price. They looked exactly like the Harley Brand shop stools. I mean really, how much is there to a swivel bar stool?

So, I finally broke down and bought two of them for the shop & studio. They do require some assembly and of course we filmed it and made a tutorial video of you. In the video we also review the stools as I do in this article.

Each stool will take about 15 minutes to put together after un-packaging and assembly. Only a philips screw driver and a [Read more…]

Harley Heated Grips Install Video:
