Harley-Davidson has added two very different, but distinctly old-school, motorcycles to its 2026 lineup with the new Deadwood and the return of the legendary Super Glide. Both bikes lean heavily into Harley-Davidson history while combining that styling with the modern Softail platform, Milwaukee-Eight power, selectable ride modes, and current rider-safety technology. The Deadwood is an entirely ne...

In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch and we talk about the 2026 Indian Roadmaster that was just added to the Law Abiding Biker stable.  This isn't my first time in the saddle of an Indian. Long-time viewers of my YouTube Channel will remember I ran a Pursuit PowerPlus for about a year, followed by a loaned 2025 Indian Roadmaster PowerPlus last fall, a bike I still have on hand. Both of those were...

In this episode, we take the guesswork out of diagnosing a dead motorcycle battery and charging system with the OptiMate Cranking Power & Alternator Tester . Instead of paying a dealership to troubleshoot the problem or trying to remember how to use a multimeter, this purpose-built tool can test your battery and charging system in about 30 seconds using simple, color-coded indicators. We explain h...

He began in 1994 as a Reserve Sheriff's Deputy for Yakima County. In 1995 he moved to the Yakima County Department of Security, worki...

In this episode, we tackle one of the hottest debates in the Harley-Davidson community: throwaway paper motorcycle oil filters versus reusable motorcycle oil filters. We break down the confusion surrounding micron ratings, nominal versus absolute filtration, and why comparing one filter's numbers to another without context can be misleading. Instead of getting lost in internet comment wars, this e...

In this episode, we talk about the 2026 Harley-Davidson Limiteds. Harley clearly put a lot of thought into rider and passenger comfort on the 2026 Limited. The redesigned heated seat is one of the first things you notice. It now comes standard with heating for both rider and passenger, and Harley wisely kept physical buttons on the bike for adjusting heat levels instead of burying those controls i...

I recently had the opportunity to sit in on a meeting with Indian Motorcycle CEO Mike Kennedy.  His career reflects a blend of operational strategy, sales network leadership, and brand stewardship in the motorcycle world. Kennedy's long tenure at Harley-Davidson, especially managing dealers and major markets, combined with executive leadership at Vance & Hines and RumbleOn, positioned him as a res...

In this podcast episode, we discus the newly released 2026 Indian Chief Vintage .  The Chief Vintage leans hard into that classic 1940s-inspired styling with sweeping valanced fenders, wire wheels, wide bars, and that unmistakable Indian silhouette that screams heritage. It's got the nostalgic look riders love—lots of chrome, iconic badging, and vintage vibes—but this isn't some museum piece. It's...

In this episode, we're joined by Patron Member Michael Nielsen.  Michael is a serious rider who lays down a ton of miles every year.  This year Michael is taking on the 2026 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge .  The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge is a long-distance endurance ride designed to test a rider's planning, focus, and mental toughness more than outright speed.

Fresh off Harley-Davidson's Chapter 2 launch, the 2026 Harley-Davidson lineup brings far more substance than the polished reveal video suggests.

In this podcast we discuss the all-new  2026 Harley-Davidson Police Road Glide .  I was invited to Florida by Harley-Davidson to test ride and review the Police Road Glide.  If you're a motor officer, a fleet manager, or simply curious about what makes the Police Road Glide different from its civilian counterpart, you're in the right place.
