In this episode, we interview Gary “Bandit” Zillyette, National President of the Immortal Knights Public Safety Motorcycle Club (IKPSMC). Back in Law Abiding Biker Podcast episode 104, we interviewed Randy “Jake” Patton, President of the Utah chapter. Gary heard the podcast and reached out to the club and joined as a nomad out of Iowa.

After spending much time as a nomad, he eventually established a chapter in Iowa, the first one in that state. The Iowa chapter was established in 2020.  The mother chapter of the club is based out of Utah. 

 It didn't take Gary long to be one of 3 members nominated for National President and he was elected in 2021 as such.

Gary has learned a lot over the years going from member to National President and shares his experiences with us. The IKPSMC does charity work in the form of First Responder Tribute Rides, honoring fallen first responders. This is a yearly event for them and required to become a chapter.

In this episode, Lurch and I interview Chris Foster, who recently broke a  Guinness Book of World records riding a Pan America, which is Harley's first adventure-style motorcycle. 

Chris set out to visit all 51 National Parks in the lower 48 states in one motorcycle trip and he completed it! He normally rides a BMW adventure bike. However, Harley reached out to him and offered a Pan America for this trip and he couldn't say no. 

Chris is no stranger to very long motorcycle road trips and has traveled around the world in the past. He saw this new record attempt as a challenge.

Chris Foster has some crazy stories to tell about this newest world record trip and past trips. When riding in Mexico once, he was stopped by men with machine guns, who fired into the air, stopped him, asked questions, but finally, let him go to continue his travels. 

On this newest world record trip, Chris was actually struck by lightning while riding the Harley Pan America. Luckily, he survived to tell about it and it could have been much worse. These days, Chris says he doesn't mess around and when there is lighting happening while riding his motorcycle, he tries to find a safe place or shelter to wait it out. 

Chris has had many unforeseen issues during his long motorcycle road trips, has been in some other peculiar situations, and it was really fun talking to him. He also rode through Death Valley and it was 127 degrees. He's got more stories to tell than we have time for!

Chris really got to test the Harley Pan America out during this recent 54-day motorcycle road trip. Chris gives his opinion of the Harley Pan America and how it held up. I must say this was a true test. 

These are just some highlights and you really have to listen to this podcast episode to get all the details. You can learn more about Chris Foster on his website:

In this episode, we go over the possibilities for the 2022 Harley-Davidson models. There are many rumors floating around out there and we can't wait to see what they actually have in store. They have a virtual launch on 01/26/22 that you can sign up for.

It has been confirmed that Harley will be cutting the Sporster 1200, Softail Slim, and Sport Glide from their cruiser lineup.

There are also many changes within the company such and an online system to pre-order your new Harley-Davidson. It seems there will be fewer models at dealerships and Harley wants you to pre-order. You can fill out a form and a dealership will contact you. 

Earlier this year, Harley created HD-1 Marketplace.  This allows customers to search used motorcycle inventory at Harley-Davidson dealers. The company also created the Harley-Davidson Certified program this year to help capture more of the used market and keep that business flowing through dealers.

Additionally, Harley-Davidson CEO Jochen Zeits took a $600,000 salary cut, but incentivized Zeitz with Stock Options to stay through 2024.

Popeye (left) & Squirt (right)

In part 2 of 2 of this series, I have Popeye and Squirt on the mics. They and a few others from the Sworn Few Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club completed a recent 10-day 3500-mile motorcycle road trip from Washington State to Arizona. They have a ton of stories and it was fun hearing about this trip as I was not able to go.

Many of the Law Abiding Biker™ Media crew are also members of the Sworn Few LEMC and ride motorcycles often. Each year we like to take a  larger long-distance road trip together. This year it was two large trips to include this trip and a trip south along the West Coast to San Francisco and back inland and to the north. 

With many of these long-distance motorcycle road trips, a documentary film is produced. Make sure to see all our Motorcycle Documentary Films here!
