    LAB-388-New 2025 Harley Touring Models Released & Virtual Launch Coming

    In this podcast episode, we discuss the 2025 Harley-Davidson model release of the touring models.  This is what we refer to as a soft release, meaning these are the models held over from 2024 with no real changes except for color.  We talk about what is released so far and we give our predictions on what will be released during the virtual launch held on January 23, 2025.  

    As of January 2nd, Harley-Davidson revealed the following six models for 2025:

    • Street Glide
    • Road Glide
    • Road King Special
    • Freewheeler (trike)
    • Tri Glide Ultra (trike)
    • Road Glide 3 (trike)
    SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

    These models appear to be largely carryovers from 2024, with no significant mechanical or cosmetic changes. This “soft launch” is typical for Harley-Davidson, saving the more substantial announcements for their virtual event on January 23rd at 5 PM CST on their YouTube channel.

    Road Glide 3 & Tri Glide Ultra

    Interestingly, the Road Glide 3 and Tri Glide Ultra did not see price increases for 2025. The Tri Glide Ultra received updated wheels (19-inch front, 18-inch rear) and is now available in black trim for the first time, offering additional color options.

    Trim and Paint Options

    Harley-Davidson continues to emphasize black trim, offering additional color options compared to chrome models. However, this trend has frustrated traditionalists who favor chrome aesthetics. Notable colors for 2025 include:

    • Mystic Shift: A dynamic shade that changes from gunmetal to orange depending on light angles.
    • Whiskey Firestorm & Midnight Firestorm: Featuring ghost flames, exclusive to black trim models.

    Unfortunately, these unique options are not available for chrome trim enthusiasts.

    On January 23rd, Harley-Davidson is expected to unveil more models and changes. Here’s what to watch for:

    Full Touring Models
    • Will the Road Glide Limited and Ultra Limited finally get the 2024 fairing redesign?
    • Are these models being phased out in favor of a build-to-order system? Speculation suggests customers might start with base models and add touring packages to create full touring bikes.
    Cruiser and CVO Models
    • The Cruiser lineup has yet to be revealed, leaving room for surprises.
    • The popular 2024 CVO Road Glide ST is also absent from the website. Could significant updates be on the way?
    Pan America Adventure Line

    The Pan America adventure bike is due for updates. Could Harley-Davidson enter the middleweight adventure market?

    LAB-387-Why Are Motorcyclist Fatalities Rising While Everyone Else is Safer?

    This podcast was recorded live for our beloved Patreon members.  In our private Patreon FaceBook group a member asked others to share tips for new riders.  Lurch and I, as well as the Patreon members in private chat discuss many tips.  Motorcyclists remain an exception to the overall decline in U.S. highway fatalities, according to recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In the first half of 2024, motor vehicle fatalities dropped by 3.2% compared to 2023, with declines across almost all categories, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and passenger vehicle occupants. However, motorcyclist fatalities rose by 1%, standing out as a rare increase alongside a similar rise for individuals over 65. This reflects a long-term trend where fatalities among motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians constitute a growing proportion of overall traffic deaths, while fatalities for occupants of cars and trucks decline.

    Modern automotive safety features such as anti-lock brakes, traction control, and adaptive cruise control have significantly improved passenger safety, reducing crash severity. However, motorcycles, even with advanced features, remain inherently less protective in crashes. While some motorcyclists point to distracted drivers as a major cause, self-inflicted risks also play a significant role. Nearly half of fatal motorcycle crashes are single-vehicle incidents, and about 25% involve alcohol, underscoring the importance of rider responsibility in reducing fatalities.

    The data serves as a sobering reminder for motorcyclists to prioritize safety. Practicing proper riding techniques, maintaining situational awareness, avoiding alcohol, and investing in training can make a meaningful difference. With motorcycle fatalities on the rise, it’s critical for riders to take proactive steps to protect themselves, as the broader road safety improvements have yet to extend meaningfully to their community.

    LAB-386-My New Police Harley Is In Service! Things I had to mod right away!

    In this podcast episode we talk about all the modifications we did to my newly Police Harley. After getting it fully equipped with police-specific gear, it's now officially in service. Lurch and I talk about how we, as a department, decided to set up our police motorcycles, highlighting some of the specialty equipment used. While some features come factory-ready from Harley-Davidson, many others are department-specific or added by third-party vendors. Let’s dive into the details.

    SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

    In addition to police-specific features, I’ve equipped my bike with several products donated from the Law Abiding Biker™ Store

    • Biker Gripper Cell Phone Mount: The strongest, sleekest motorcycle cell phone mount available. It’s perfect for quick access, even in the most demanding environments. It’s tested on police courses and proven to hold phones securely, even when the bike is dropped.
    • Ciro Cup Holder: For those long shifts or rides in hot weather, hydration is key. This cup holder ensures I always have my water or coffee within reach.
    • Adjustable PSR Levers: These allow for customized grip and omfort and they are adjustable for ultimate feel and control.
    • Armor Tail Light: This LED tail light, available from the Law Abiding Biker™ Store, is programmable with a smartphone app, offering various patterns to catch the attention of other motorists.
    • Fang Signal Inserts: Replace stock halogen bulbs with these LED inserts for both front and rear signals, available in red or amber, depending on your preference.
    • Ciro Filler Panel Lights: Fill those ugly voids in the rear of your bike with LED lighting. 
    • More products mentioned in the video below

    One of the most exciting aspects of this build was getting the green light for some performance upgrades. We installed a Stage One Kit, including a Screamin' Eagle high-flow intake and exhaust system, to improve airflow and enhance performance.

    • Screamin' Eagle Intake and Exhaust: Although we used OEM Harley-Davidson parts, the upgrades significantly improved the bike's performance, making it sound better and increase power. 
    • EFI Remapping and Tuning: After installing the intake and exhaust, we remapped the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) using the Screamin' Eagle tuner. While not our first choice, it got the job done. In the future, we’d recommend the Vance & Hines Fuelpak 4 tuner, available in our store, for superior performance and ease of use.
    Comfort and Safety Mods

    Comfort is key, especially for officers spending long hours in the saddle. The addition of adjustable levers and an extended brake pedal greatly improved both comfort and safety.

    • Adjustable Levers: The PSR Anthem Pro Adjustable Levers offer maximum customization, allowing you to find the perfect adjustment for both the clutch and brake.
    • Extended Brake Pedal: This is one of the most important safety mods we made. The extended brake pedal is ergonomically designed, putting your foot in the ideal position for emergency braking, making it quicker and easier to stop when needed.

    LAB-385-Motorcycle Suspension Sag | What It Is And How To Adjust It

    In this episode, we discuss motorcycle suspension sag. Suspension sag refers to the amount a motorcycle's suspension compresses under certain conditions, such as the bike's weight alone or the combined weight of the bike and rider. It is a critical setting in motorcycle and vehicle suspension tuning, directly affecting handling, comfort, and stability.  

    Why Suspension Sag is Important:

    • Handling: Proper sag ensures the suspension is in the optimal range of travel for absorbing bumps and maintaining traction.
    • Comfort: Reduces harshness over bumps and prevents excessive bottoming or topping out of the suspension.
    • Control: Maintains balance between the front and rear suspension, providing predictable handling in turns and on uneven surfaces.
    SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

    Suspension preload refers to the initial compression applied to a motorcycle's suspension springs before any external forces, such as the weight of the bike or rider, are applied. It adjusts the suspension's starting position, influencing how much it compresses under load. Preload doesn’t change the stiffness (spring rate) of the spring itself; it only alters the amount of force required to compress the spring further.

    How Preload Works:

    • More Preload: Compresses the spring further, making the suspension stiffer initially. This reduces sag and raises the ride height.
    • Less Preload: Reduces spring compression, making the suspension softer initially. This increases sag and lowers the ride height.

    LAB-384-Is The Shoei Neotec 3 The Best Motorcycle Helmet?

    In this episode, we review the new Shoei Neotec 3 motorcycle helmet.  As a police motorcycle officer, instructor, and avid rider, I've extensively used Shoei Neotec modular helmets since the release of the first version. My daily routine and off-duty adventures have given me ample opportunity to test a variety of modular helmets, and Shoei consistently stands out. In my opinion, modular helmets are unparalleled for their convenience—allowing me to flip up the chin bar to talk to fellow riders or get some airflow during stops, and then easily flip it back down when resuming my ride.

    Transitioning from Neotec 2 to Neotec 3

    Having recently upgraded from the Neotec 2 to the Shoei Neotec 3, I’ve noticed several significant improvements that other reviews have overlooked. Here’s a detailed look at what sets the Neotec 3 apart.

    Note: You can get a Shoei Neotec 3 in the Law Abiding Biker Store. We'll get it on the way to you ASAP. We're just a bunch of bikers helping bikers. 

    SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Key Improvements Enhanced Face Shield Mechanism

    One of the most notable upgrades in the Neotec 3 is the face shield mechanism. Previous versions featured a slight lock at the bottom detent, but the Neotec 3 introduces a mechanism that securely locks the shield in place, creating a robust seal. You’ll hear and feel a satisfying click when the shield locks. A new push-release button under the face shield's center makes this process even more user-friendly.

    CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Centrally Located Thumb Tab

    In earlier versions, the face shield's thumb tab was positioned on the left side, complicating operation for those with their left hand on the clutch lever and reaching across with their right hand, which tweaked the face shield making it difficult to operate. The Neotec 3 resolves this with a centered thumb tab, enabling smooth, ambidextrous operation. This thoughtful design change significantly enhances usability, making the shield movement effortless.

    Improved Ventilation

    Ventilation has also seen improvements. The chin vent now offers two positions instead of one, while the top vent, though lower in profile, maintains the familiar three positions. Additionally, the helmet's rear has been redesigned for a more modern aesthetic.

    My MotoVlog Setup Video

    Retained Features

    The Neotec 3 retains several features that Shoei fans appreciate. The helmet comes with the reliable anti-fog Pinlock inner face shield, ensuring clear vision in varying weather conditions. Shoei’s quick-release ratcheting chin buckle system remains superior to the outdated D-ring chin strap, offering ease of use even with gloves on. If your helmet does have the old D-ring system you can easily replace it with one of our high quality metal to metal ratchet buckle chin straps just like the one used on the Shoei Neotec 3.

    The internal tinted sun visor continues to operate very smoothly using the external slider buttons. Just use a slider like this on a cheaper helmet and you'll see how refined the Shoei Neotec 3 is. 

    Comfort and Fit

    Comfort is paramount in a helmet, and the Shoei Neotec 3 excels in this area. It’s the most comfortable and in the top 2 quietest helmets I’ve worn and feels like a slipper for your head. The premium quality is immediately evident when compared to less expensive, off-brand copies.

    Model Options

    The Shoei Neotec 3 is available in three models: the basic Neotec, the Grasp (which I chose), and the Santori. The differences lie in color options, with the Grasp and Santori offering multi-color designs while the basic Neotec comes in solid colors. Note that older Neotec 1 and 2 face shields are not compatible with the Neotec 3 due to design changes. All models and shields are available in the Law Abiding Biker Store.

    Final Thoughts

    For street motorcycle riding, the Shoei Neotec 3 is my top choice. This premium helmet is refined and well-constructed, offering unmatched comfort and quietness. The enhancements made in the Neotec 3, along with the retained features from previous versions, make it an exceptional modular helmet. If you choose the Neotec 3, you won't be disappointed.

    LAB-383-Organic, Semi-Sintered, and Sintered Brake Pads | Pros and Cons

    In this podcast episode, we dive deep into the different compositions of motorcycle brake pads.  We discuss the pros and cons of organic, semi-sintered, and sintered brake pads.  What does sinter mean?  We're glad you asked.  Sintering is the process of forming a solid mass of material through heat and pressure without melting to the point of liquefaction. This process involves the atoms in materials diffusing across the particle boundaries and fusing together into one piece.  In simple terms, it is combining different materials, usually but not always metals.  We give our opinions on which option is the best.  

    SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

    Organic brake pads are made primarily from non-metallic materials, such as rubber, glass, resin, carbon, and Kevlar fibers. These materials are bound together with a high-temperature resin, creating a compound that provides effective braking performance while remaining quieter and less harsh on the brake rotors than metallic pads. Organic brake pads are often chosen for everyday driving because they are quieter and offer a smoother feel. However, for high-performance or heavy-duty applications (like racing or towing), other materials like semi-metallic or ceramic may be better options due to their greater durability and resistance to heat.

    Get your brake pads from the Law Abiding Biker Store:

    Semi-sintered brake pads are a hybrid type of brake pad that combines the characteristics of both organic and sintered (metallic) brake pads. These pads contain a mix of organic materials and metallic particles (usually copper or steel) that are bonded under high pressure and heat. This blend creates a balanced pad that offers a middle ground between the smooth, quiet braking of organic pads and the durability and heat resistance of fully sintered metallic pads. Semi-sintered brake pads are ideal for those who want a balance between durability and smooth braking, making them suitable for a range of applications from commuter vehicles to light performance and touring bikes. They’re popular in the motorcycle world and in light to moderate performance vehicle applications, where a mix of daily usability and resilience to moderate heat is desired.

    CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!

    Sintered brake pads, also known as metallic brake pads, are made from a high concentration of metal particles (like copper, bronze, or steel) that are fused together under intense heat and pressure. This process, called sintering, creates a dense, highly durable material that performs well under extreme temperatures and heavy loads, making sintered pads ideal for high-performance, heavy-duty, and off-road applications.  Sintered brake pads are best for vehicles used in rugged or high-performance applications where high durability and heat resistance are necessary. They’re commonly used in motorcycles, off-road vehicles, trucks, and heavy machinery, as well as in sports cars that need powerful braking in extreme conditions.

    I'm going with fully-sintered brake pads and Lurch is going with semi-sitered

Known for their high-quality motorsport and adventure gear, Alpinestars has delivered a fleece that caters to everyday wearers and motorcycle enthusiasts alike. Let's dive into why the Convex Fleece has become a go-to for style, warmth, and functionality.

    The BDR is a type of scenic or adventurous road trip, often focusing on less-traveled, rural, or off-the-beaten-path routes that offer a more intimate and immersive travel experience. Typically, these routes cater to those seeking adventure, natural beauty, and cultural experiences that are off the main tourist path. Backroad discovery routes are popular for road-trippers, motorcyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate a slower, more scenic journey over high-speed highways.

    In the U.S., BDR are specific, mapped-out routes for adventure motorcyclists and off-road vehicle enthusiasts. These routes:

    1. Span several states, such as Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and Washington.
    2. Are usually designed for multi-day trips.
    3. Incorporate various terrains like mountains, deserts, and forests.
    4. Are mostly unpaved, involving dirt roads, forest trails, and rocky passes.
    5. Include both challenging sections for experienced riders and easier paths for beginners.

    Each route is usually developed with local input to highlight scenic and historical locations and to support rural economies by guiding travelers toward small towns and local businesses. These routes typically have resources, including GPS tracks, maps, and travel guides, available to help riders safely navigate and enjoy the journey.

    LAB-381-Can You Use A Lithium Ion Battery On A 2024 & Newer Harley Davidson?

    Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com

    I recently purchased a 2024 Harley-Davidson Street Glide, one of the latest models featuring a redesigned fairing and the new Infotainment Control Unit (IFCU) digital dash system. As someone who values reliability and performance, I opted to replace the stock lead-acid battery with a lithium-ion battery before embarking on a 10-day trip. Over the years, I’ve tested various lithium-ion batteries and prefer them because they are very lightweight, durable, and efficient. 

    The First Few Days: Everything Seemed Fine

    For the first three days of my trip, the Street Glide performed flawlessly with the new lithium-ion battery. The bike fired up without hesitation, and I had no reason to suspect any issues. However, on the third day, I began to notice that the bike was starting a bit slower than usual—a small concern that I decided to keep an eye on.

    SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

    On the fourth morning, the bike started up just fine at the hotel. After a quick stop at Starbucks, though, it refused to start. The battery was completely dead. Thankfully, I had one of our compact jump starter packs from the Law Abiding Biker Store, which saved the day. Without it, I would have been stuck waiting for a tow service—something every biker should try to avoid. A jump start pack is an essential tool that every rider should carry to prevent costly and time-consuming interruptions.

    The Ride Continues: Persistent Issues

    With my Street Glide jump-started, we set out for a long day of riding. Although the bike started after each stop, it did so a bit slower than usual. Additionally, the battery indicator on the digital dash remained on, signaling that something was still wrong. Despite these issues, we pressed on.

    CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! The Breakdown: A Dangerous Situation

    Later that day, just outside of Greensboro, NC, on a busy multi-lane freeway, my Street Glide suddenly went completely dead—without warning. I lost all power, including the digital dash system, and had to drift to the inside shoulder. Attempting to jump-start the bike again proved futile, as it wouldn’t even power on.

    Left behind by my riding group, I quickly contacted them to secure a replacement battery. They managed to find a lead-acid battery and brought it back to my location. Fortunately, I was prepared with my Cruz Tools RTH3 emergency roadside tool kit, also available at the Law Abiding Biker Store. We swapped out the lithium-ion battery for the lead-acid one, and my bike started right up. This preparedness saved us valuable time and allowed us to continue our journey without further delay.

    The Aftermath: Investigating the Issue

    With the new lead-acid battery installed, the battery trouble indicator disappeared, and I had no further issues for the remainder of the trip. However, the situation left me with many questions. Was the problem caused by the lithium-ion battery? Has something changed in the 2024 models regarding the use of these batteries? And if so, why isn’t this information widely known?

    Determined to find answers, I reached out to my connections within Harley-Davidson. After two weeks of communication, I received the following statement:

    Harley-Davidson’s Statement: 

    Lithium batteries are not approved by HD fitment for Revolution Max and center-cooled models due to the unique features of the electrical system and software on those vehicles. We continue to evaluate those systems’ interactions, the changes needed to possibly enable fitment, and consumer demand. Any potential future changes to enable lithium batteries will be communicated to the field and dealer network via fitment updates or service bulletins.

    My Opinion: What Likely Happened

    Based on my experience with lithium-ion batteries, here’s my take on what likely happened. Lithium-ion batteries are “smart” and can go into sleep mode if they are drawn down too far. I believe that’s what happened when my Street Glide suddenly went dead on the freeway. The battery likely went into safe mode, cutting off power to the entire bike. While the charging system is fully capable of charging the battery, the new electrical system in the 2024 models—especially with the IFCU digital dash—might have different protections in place.

    These protections could allow the main battery to draw down further before it begins recharging, which might explain why a lead-acid battery, which isn’t “smart” and doesn’t go to sleep, worked without issue. Again, this is just my opinion based on what I’ve observed.

    Conclusion: Be Prepared and Stay Informed

    My experience underscores the importance of being prepared and staying informed about your motorcycle’s components, especially when dealing with new technology. Whether it’s carrying a reliable jump pack or a comprehensive roadside tool kit, being prepared can save you from potentially time consuming and costly situations. As Harley-Davidson continues to evaluate the use of lithium-ion batteries in their newer models, it’s crucial for riders to stay updated wich is why I made this video and wrote this article.

    LAB-380-Indian Revamps Scout Series for 2025

    Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com

    In this podcast episode, we talk about the new 2025 Indian Scout lineup.  It has been revamped for 2025.  For some background information, the Indian Scout is a motorcycle built by the Indian Motorcycle Company from 1920 to 1949. It rivaled the Chief as Indian's most important model. The 101 Scout, made from 1928 to 1931, has been called the best motorcycle Indian ever made. 

    A second line of Scouts, with heavier frames, was introduced in 1932 alongside the Standard Scout, which replaced the 101 Scout and shared its frame with the Chief and the Four. The small-displacement Scout and the Sport Scout, introduced in 1934, were continued until the end of civilian production in 1942. We and other Allied forces used military versions of both models during World War II.

    The 2025 Indian Scout is built around an all-new 1250cc SpeedPlus engine, which gets its name from the PowerPlus engine and what’s shared between the two units. The new engine produces a claimed 105 horsepower and 82 lb-ft of torque, except on 101 models, where an extra six horsepower is available through different tuning. The torque curve is long and flat, starting around 3000 rpm and continuing past peak horsepower at 7250, tapering off as it reaches the rev limiter at 8500 rpm. Over previous models, average fuel mileage is improved for an additional claimed 20 miles per tank, largely thanks to a one-tooth larger drive sprocket.

    The new SpeedPlus 1250 builds on Scout's unmatched reputation of delivering the perfect balance of power and control. The all-new engine features an 11% increase in power and 14% increase in torque while maintaining its easy-to-ride character. With 105 HP on the Scout Classic, Scout Bobber, Sport Scout, and Super models, and 111 HP and 82 ft-lbs of torque on the 101 Scout.  The flat torque curve coupled with new available ride modes delivers smooth predictable acceleration in all conditions and maximizes the fun for riders of all levels.  Ride Modes include Standard, Rain, and Sport.

    LAB-379-You're Still Riding Your Motorcycle In A T-Shirt? This Riding Jacket Will Keep You Cooler!

    Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com

    In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch and we discuss warm-weather protective motorcycle gear.   Recently, we 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.

    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.

    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.

    SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE 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.

    CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! 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.

    NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED:

    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.

    LAB-378-2025 Harley-Davidson Model Predictions And Other Changes

    Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com

    In this podcast episode, we talk about the 2025 Harley-Davidson Model rumors floating around and we make our predictions.  There is a lot of speculation swirling around the internet about what the 2025 Harley-Davidson model year will bring.  Keep in mind, we do not have any inside information about 2025 models.  Trust us, we try to get info out of our Harly contacts but they are very tight-lipped.  As they should be.  As the new model year approaches it is always for to speculate what might happen.  This episode was live in YouTube for our beloved Patreon members.

    The big rumor is that the Ultra Limited models will be eliminated.  If so, you would need to purchase a Street Glide or Road Glide and outfit them with accessories to essentially create an Ultra Limited.  We talk about the pros and cons of this if true.  We speculate what the benefit would be to the purchaser and the MoCo.

    Another rumor is Harley will bring back the polished black inner fairing instead of the matte black inner fairing.  We talk about some model production being moved to Thailand.  Some bikers are disappointed with an American company making a bike overseas.  In the past, Harley promised not to produce bikes in another country.  What does this mean and does it lend credence to the rumor of the Ultra Limited getting the axe?
