How I Secure My Dirt Bike in Seconds with This Game-Changing System-Risk Racing Lock N Load

September 13, 2024 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

Transporting your dirt bike after a long day on the trails or at the race track can be a frustrating task. Traditional straps are cumbersome, inconsistent, and often require a tedious back-and-forth process that risks tipping your bike. I’ve been using the Risk Racing Lock N Load Strapless Moto Transport System for some time now, and I’m excited to share why I’ll never go back to using those old straps again. This system is so impressive that I immediately added it to the Law Abiding Biker Store.

The Hassle of Traditional Straps

Let’s face it—loading your bike into a truck or trailer using traditional straps is far from ideal. You have to constantly switch sides to adjust the tension, making sure it’s just right. If you’re transporting two bikes side by side, the process becomes even more frustrating. And when you get home, the struggle starts all over again as you carefully remove the straps, hoping your bike doesn’t tip over. After a long, exhausting day, this is the last thing any rider wants to deal with.

Why I Chose Risk Racing Over Bike Binderz

You may have seen ads for the Bike Binderz system, featuring bikes suspended upside down on a piece of sheet metal. While this may catch your eye on social media, it doesn’t translate to real-world practicality. I don’t remember the last time I drove my truck upside down, and I doubt you do either.

When you watch Bike Binderz's own promotional video, you’ll notice the rider has to go through a cumbersome process to secure the bike. Bending over the bike multiple times, reaching down to attach tie-down chains, and fiddling with safety pins—this is exactly what I wanted to avoid. After all, traditional straps can do the same thing at a lower cost.

The Superiority of the Lock N Load System

In contrast, the Risk Racing Lock N Load Strapless Moto Transport System offers a far more refined and efficient solution. This system uses rigid aluminum lock-down arms instead of chains, making the process quick and effortless. There’s no need to bend over your bike repeatedly. Simply push down on the arms, and it ratchets down on the peg and locks securely. Repeat the process on the other side, and you’re done. You barely have to lean over the opposite side of your bike.

Unloading your bike is just as easy. Release the lock levers, push down on each arm to raise them, and back your bike out. It’s that simple. Every time I use this system, it puts a smile on my face because I know I’m on the road or back on the trails in no time.

Proven Performance and Reliability

Your bike is incredibly secure when locked into the Risk Racing system. I’ve driven on rough, 4WD roads and tackled steep hills, ruts, and bumps without any concerns about my bike’s safety. This system has been tried and tested by me many times, and it has never let me down.

Easy Installation and Universal Appeal

Installing the Risk Racing Lock N Load Strapless Moto Transport System in the bed of your truck or trailer is a breeze. I walk you through the installation process in my video, showing just how quick and easy it is.

At the track or trails, riders often stop to ask me about the system when they see how fast and effortlessly I load and unload my bike. It’s clear that riders are tired of struggling with traditional straps, and this system offers the perfect solution.

Conclusion

I highly recommend the Risk Racing Lock N Load Strapless Moto Transport System to anyone looking for a more efficient and secure way to transport their bike. It’s a game-changer that will make you wonder why you didn’t switch sooner. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Review Of The Alpinestars T SP X Superair Jacket For Hot Weather Riding

August 10, 2024 By Ryan Urlacher 1 Comment

Recently, I embarked on a 10-day motorcycle road trip around the East Coast, covering over 3,000 miles. For the entire journey, I exclusively wore the Alpinestars T SP X Superair Jacket, and it didn’t take long for me to fall in love with this affordable, progressive piece of riding gear. After thoroughly testing it in various conditions and temperatures, I decided to bring it right into the Law Abiding Biker Store. (see the video below)

The Myth of Riding in a T-Shirt

When the weather gets hot, it's common to see riders hitting the road in nothing but T-shirts, mistakenly believing it keeps them cool. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Unfortunately, this misconception leaves many riders tired, dehydrated, sunburned, and most concerning, completely unprotected in case of an accident.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

As a full-time Police Motorcycle Officer and Investigator with 28 years of experience, I've responded to numerous motorcycle collisions, including fatalities. The sight of a long skin trail on the pavement is a grim reminder of the dangers of riding without proper gear. If you witness this once, you’ll never consider riding in a T-shirt again.

The Evolution of Protective Riding Gear

Gone are the days when leather was the only option for motorcycle protection. Today, there’s no excuse to ride unprotected, thanks to advancements in protective gear. Modern riding jackets not only offer superior protection but also excel in regulating body temperature and airflow. The Alpinestars T SP X Superair Jacket is a prime example, combining high quality with an entry-level price, making it accessible for all riders.

The Alpinestars T SP X Superair Jacket: A Game Changer

Optimal Cooling and Comfort

One of the standout features of the Alpinestars T SP X Superair Jacket is its exceptional internal climate control. With extensive mesh paneling on the torso, arms, and upper chest, the jacket ensures optimal airflow, keeping you cool even in hot weather. Unlike a T-shirt, which absorbs heat and causes you to lose moisture rapidly, this jacket helps you retain moisture, keeping you hydrated and comfortable.

Durability and Protection

Constructed from lightweight 600D poly-fabric, the T SP X Superair Jacket offers excellent abrasion resistance, providing reliable protection in the event of a fall. The jacket is equipped with Nucleon Flex Plus elbow and shoulder armor, known for its flexibility and breathability. Despite its protective features, the armor has a thin profile that enhances comfort and allows for freedom of movement. An Alpinestars Nucleon Plasma Back Protector Insert can be added. The jacket is available in different colors.

Versatility Across Seasons

During my trip, I experienced temperatures ranging from 60°F to over 100°F, and the jacket performed exceptionally well in all conditions. For cooler temperatures, pairing the Superair Jacket with the Alpinestars Purpose Mid-Layer Jacket extends its usability to three seasons. Below 60°F, the base layer adds warmth.

The Importance of a Proper Base Layer

From my experience in various riding disciplines—street, adventure, and dirt—wearing a proper base layer in hot weather is crucial. It provides support and helps regulate your temperature and perspiration. The Alpinestars Ride Tech v2 Summer Long Sleeve Underwear Top & Bottoms is, by far, the best hot weather base layer I've ever used. It instantly cools you down once you're on the move, significantly enhancing your comfort.

Conclusion: Embrace Protection and Comfort

With the Alpinestars T SP X Superair Jacket, there's no longer any reason to ride unprotected. It's time to leave the T-shirt riding era behind and invest in gear that not only protects but also enhances your riding experience. This affordable jacket is a game changer for hot weather riding, offering the perfect blend of comfort, protection, and style. Don't compromise your safety—gear up and ride with confidence.

How To Install Progressive Front Suspension On A Harley Davidson With Batwing or Sharknose Fairing-DIY Video

August 6, 2024 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

We installed a Progressive Front Cartridge Suspension Kit on a 2015 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special. After riding the Harley with the newly installed progressive front suspension on a long road trip, and on many different road surfaces, we can highly recommend this suspension and decided to carry it right in the Law Abiding Biker Store. In this tutorial video, we show you exactly how to install this Progressive front suspension on a Harley-Davidson and how to adjust things so you have the proper preload. (see detailed install video below)

WHY WE CHANGED OUR HARLEY FRONT SUSPENSION:

We were not happy with the overall ride of our 2015 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special, which came with the standard front suspension Harley has used for many years now on its touring models, which has no adjustments. Unfortunately, it is what it is. We wanted a smoother ride and better cornering abilities, which the Progressive Front Cartridge Suspension Kit provides!

REVIEW/THOUGHTS:

We were absolutely blown away at how much smother our Harley rode and cornered after installing Progressive front suspension! We did not realize what a difference good front suspension would make! Wow, it was more than we even expected and we highly recommend upgrading your front Harley suspension to Progressive! It even got rid of most of the bagger wobble while cornering at faster speeds. Our Harley just rode like a completely different bike!

Wilbers LDC Nivomat: The Best Suspension Upgrade For Your Harley? I Have To Say This!

July 5, 2024 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

Let's face it, the stock front and rear suspension on Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and other brands, is basic. It offers only a mediocre level of performance and comfort. This is how companies like Harley keep these motorcycles at particular price points for consumers. Additionally, manufacturers do not typically offer upgraded exhaust, intake, or custom seats, as this would result in an even higher price tag.

Why Upgrade Your Suspension First

Harley owners often purchase aftermarket products for their bikes, but in my opinion, they often buy things in reverse order. Many will first buy exhaust, an intake, or chrome/black parts for their bike. Instead, they should focus first on new front and rear suspension, which will make the biggest difference in performance and comfort, especially on touring models ridden thousands of miles in various environments. If there's one suspension that can do that, it's definitely the Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension.

The Difference Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension Makes

Having ridden thousands of miles in various environments and tested many different suspensions, I can say that the more you spend on Harley aftermarket suspension, the better it is. Any aftermarket suspension you get for your Harley will be better than stock. However, to get the best, you'll spend a little more, and it will make a significant improvement. With Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension, your Harley will feel like a different bike.

My Personal Experience

I bought a brand-new 2024 Harley-Davidson Street Glide and installed a Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension front/rear kit from the Law Abiding Biker Store. There's no need to pay a dealership or shop to install this suspension for you, as we provide a detailed install video on our YouTube channel and at the bottom of the Wilbers LDC Nivomat product listing in our store. This will save you a good chunk of money and give you the satisfaction of working on your Harley.

Testing the Wilbers Suspension

I experienced Wilbers suspension a year ago when we installed it on a Harley CVO Ultra and released a detailed video on our YouTube channel. I tested the Wilbers in harsh environments, including alleys with major potholes at higher speeds, jumping speed bumps, and ripping through a dirt construction zone with drop-offs and other hazards. The overall feel and performance of Wilbers was so impressive that we immediately brought it to the Law Abiding Biker Store, and we've been selling it ever since with many overly satisfied customers.

On my prior touring Harley, a 2014 Street Glide Special, I installed Ohlins S36 Blackline Twin 13″ Shocks for Harley-Davidson on the rear and Ohlins NIX 22 Front Suspension Cartridge Kit on the front. I was very satisfied with that suspension too, and it's a great choice. We also offer Ohlins suspension in the Law Abiding Biker Store with a detailed installation video in the listing.

Comparing Wilbers to Ohlins

After installing Wilbers on my 2024 Street Glide, we set out for a 2,600-mile, 10-day trip around the East Coast. I rode on a plethora of different roadways, including old raised railroad tracks and man-sized potholes. We rode through many states and on various surfaces. I also tested the cornering performance of Wilbers suspension on Tail Of The Dragon and other similar roads, where I rode fast and cornered aggressively. Following other riders in our group who still had stock Harley suspension, I noticed they were bucked off their seats and their rear wheels left the ground when encountering large hazards. Meanwhile, I stayed seated on my Harley with Wilbers and had no impact on my lower back or spine.

The Comfort and Control of Wilbers Suspension

The Wilbers LDC Nivomat suspension feels like riding a sofa down the road, but not in a floaty way. It takes the shock out of potholes and almost floats over them, with astounding and controlled rebound, so you don't get any bouncing. With stock suspension, you'll want to stand a bit and get your rear off the seat on large bumps to take the shock out, but with Wilbers, you don't need to. You can stay seated with confidence.

The front Wilbers suspension, consisting of progressive springs (tighter at one end than the other), provides excellent controlled front-end dive control. Stock front suspension is sloppy, soft, and bouncy. However, when riding corners

hard and applying much front brake approaching a corner, it felt very controlled and set me up for trail braking through particular corners that required it.

Wilbers vs. Ohlins: Key Differences

The Ohlins cartridge kit offers the ability to adjust the front suspension, whereas the Wilbers does not. However, for a street application, I could have ridden no faster on the Ohlins than on the Wilbers, and they both felt great. Both rear suspensions are excellent and have preload adjustments for your rider weight and load. However, Wilbers nails it with its self-adjusting feature. Once you set your preload on your Wilbers LDC Nivomat rear shocks, you never touch it again. It adjusts itself to a new load weight within 100 feet of riding, eliminating the need for a spanner wrench every time you add a passenger or cargo.

Why Choose Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension

We only sell Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension as a front and rear kit because it was engineered to work together for the ultimate ride and experience. The rear is the most expensive part, so adding the front is negligible. We want you to have the full experience of Wilbers suspension because you deserve it. Purchasing Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension from the Law Abiding Biker Store is a personal experience. The suspension is custom-made for you based on information such as Harley year/model, your weight, luggage weight, passenger weight, and the percentage of time you ride with a passenger. The suspension is then customized for your exact application for the most amazing experience and usually arrives on your doorstep within 7 days.

Conclusion

Based on my experience and testing, I can truly say that for an all-around street touring application, Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension stands at the top. You will absolutely love Wilbers once you get it on your Harley. We've had nothing but rave reviews and praise from customers who have purchased it from the Law Abiding Biker Store.

Upgrade your Harley-Davidson suspension today and experience the ultimate in performance and comfort with Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension from the Law Abiding Biker Store.
