Podcast-In this episode we break down the issue of problems with pre 2006 Dyna’s & 1999-2006 spring loaded cam chain followers in Harley Davidson twin cam motors. The chain tensioning system in these motors uses plastic “shoes” riding on the cam chains that wear out. We here at Law Abiding Biker all agree that there is no real concern with the newer post 2006 motors and is limited to the years stated. Although we are pro Harley Davidson, this was a complete design failure and the company should have done a better job taking care of owners of the affected years in our opinion. You really need to listen in to this podcast episode to get all the facts and information.

PODCAST-In this episode we dive deep into the History Channel's new 6 part television se ries Gangland Undercover, which premiered on February 24, 2015. As a law abiding biker/motorcyclists you may be wondering whether or not you should dive in and watch this television series? We break it down for you and whether you should spend your time doing so. We separate fact from fiction, so you have the right mindset going into the television series, so listen in on this one!

This Gangland Undercover drama series is a fictionalized retelling of the story of meth dealer-turned-ATF informant Charles Falco, who spent three years inside one of America's most dangerous motorcycle gangs, the Vagos. Although Falco originally took on the assignment to avoid spending 20 years in prison on drug charges, it eventually evolved into a quest for justice for him. “Gangland Undercover” documents the lives of outlaw bikers, who live in a world in which respect is earned through fear. The series is based on Falco's memoir, “Vagos, Mongols, and Outlaws,” and documented historical research of gang rivalries.

There is a book out and if you are interested in it, please consider [Read more…]

PODCAST-Anyone who knows anything about riding street motorcycles surely remembers or had heard of the hit TV series CHIP's! Even those that have never ridden a motorcycle have either heard of or watched the show themselves. The show has had a long lasting impact on many and we wanted to dive into and reminisce in this podcast episode. We have it packed with information and fun facts.

There were many actors that appeared in the series each season, which aired from 1977-1983. Of course we all remember the main duo, Officer Jon Baker, played by Larry Wilcox, & Officer Frank Poncherello (Ponch), played by Erik Estrada.

Sgt. Joseph Getraer played by Robert Pine was their direct supervisor on the show. Don't forget the beautiful Randi Oakes who played Officer Bonnie Clark.

Ponch was the macho, rambunctious one and Jon was [Read more…]

LAB-70-Why You Should Have Officers, Leadership, & Structure in Your Motorcycle Biker Club PT. #2

PODCAST & BLOGB-This is part two of a two part motorcycle club leadership podcast series. You really need to listen in on Episode 69 (Part 1) of the series to put this episode in context.

Motorcycle biker clubs can operate in many different ways. Some are unorganized and lack leadership within. In a sense, and depending on your definition, that may not even be considered a true “motorcycle club”, but more of a “riding group”. In my years I have watched many motorcycle clubs and groups come and go and I can guarantee in most every case it was because of a lack of organization, structure, and leadership. With poor or no leadership there is no order or any reason for members to even have order. With that comes little groups & clicks within, lack of direction, lack of order, lack of pride, & lack of control. That will all erode a club or group's foundation in time.

I helped start and was the president of another larger motorcycle club chapter for many years.

PODCAST-In this episode I have the pleasure of interviewing Eric Ristau from Missoula, Montana. Eric and his wife Geneva are independent filmmakers. Their most recent film is called Sit Stay Ride and is a special story of America's motorcycle sidecar dogs and was about a year in the making.

They started the film as a crowdfunding project on Kickstarter and it was quickly funded and went into production. It was clear many supported this sort of movie, which is a documentary film on motorcyclists and their dogs that ride in their motorcycle side cars. The movie is filmed in numerous states and riders from all walks of life are subjects of the documentary.

The movie really captures the essence of both the freedom of riding a motorcycle along with the close relationships between man and dog. So, the movie will capture not only the attention of bikers & motorcyclists, but also that of avid dog lovers. Or anyone who wants to see a well put together documentary and be inspired about the simpler things in life. The best part is that 25% of the proceeds of this film will be donated to animal rescue organizations!

The movie is available on DVD, Bluray, and it can also be purchased or rented to immediately stream and view.

Additionally, you can also bring the movie to the big screen by hosting a screening in your area by going to Tugg.com

PODCAST-We have created a new resource here at Law Abiding Biker™ Podcast & Media. There is now a page that has everything to do with motorcycle lift tables and jacks. We are reviewing, filming, and testing these lifts and jacks for all the bikaholics out there! The market is saturated with these things and it can be very hard to sift through. Yes, there is a lot of junk out there and some are even unsafe!

In this podcast episode you will listen in as I actually talk with Ian Gilmore of Redline Engineering. I end up ordering the Titan 1000D motorcycle lift table and you get to hear the entire process! Ian has a ton of information about motorcycle lift tables and the industry in general.

The market is saturated with motorcycle lift tables, jacks, & companies. It can be overwhelming when you start shopping for a lift. The last thing we want is for a biker/motorcyclist to spend their hard-earned money on a motorcycle lift table or jack only to get ripped off or treated badly by a company that doesn’t care about them. Customer service is super important to us here and we will not give our money to any company that does not have the absolute best of customer service. There are just too many choices for me to put up with that.

There are many things you need to be aware of when shopping for and purchasing a motorcycle lift table. There can be shipping complications that can leave you high and dry if you don't have the necessary facts, information, and procedures. That is exactly what this phone call is all about with Ian. Listen in and we can all get educated together.
