LAB-371-I Rode A LIVEWIRE 1 On The Police Competition Course | NAMOA 2024

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: BRAKE PADS 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.

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.

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.

Tired of a sore and achy ass? Then fix it with a high-quality Butt Buffer seat cushion? 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.  New Patrons: Ola Mattisgården of Rydsgård, Sweden Jeffrey Porras of Phoenix, AZ Stephen Gates of Fort Collins, Colorado If you appreciate the content we put out and want to make sure it keeps on coming your way then become a Patron too!

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. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE 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. 2025 Indian Scout Models: Scout Bobber Scout Classic Sport Scout Super Scout 101 Scout Store Items Mentioned: Denali Destroyer Headlights Softbrake Extended Rear Brake Pedals NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED: Harley Tail Light Transformation: Ciro Armor LED Programmable Light-Review & Install!

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

We stayed over in cities such as Nashville, Tennesee, Cookeville Tenessee, Bristol, Tennesee, Virginia Beach, Virginia, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia, Destin, Florida, and Galitan, Tennessee. You can find the Harley-Davidson Ride Plan HERE.  There will be a motorcycle documentary film released later on this entire trip and experience! SEE ALL LAW ABIDING BIKER MEDIA DOCUMENTARY FILMS HERE! We visited many places and saw a ton of great country on our East Cost motorcycle trip. We stayed at some good and not-so-good hotels and motels. We ate at some good restaurants and some bad ones. We experienced good and bad weather and a few of the bikes experienced some mechanical problems that had to be fixed. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE We had some very funny times as a group and made memories that will last a lifetime. Everything that happened shaped the trip in some way. Listen in as we tell all the stories of our East Coast motorcycle trip. We also share tips and tricks to assist riders who may be thinking of a long-distance motorcycle road trip.

Of course, our Patron Members get benefits and exclusive access such as meetups.  Unfortunately, due to health reasons, I was unable to plan a Patron meetup this year.   There is usually an awesome day ride prepared for the members. We have plenty of time to visit and get to know each other on a more personal level. We normally end the day at a private location where the Patron Members enjoyed a catered dinner by Law Abiding Biker Media!  We look forward to doing a Patron Meetup Ride on our next summer trip.   NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED: Wilbers LDC Nivomat: The Best Suspension Upgrade for Your Harley?

Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Hey Bikaholics, I just wanted to quickly tell you about some changes for our current and future Patron members of Law Abiding Biker Media. We wanted to let you all know about a change we are making that will help us deliver a better membership experience going forward. We are switching from “per piece of content” to “monthly” subscription billing on Patreon effective October 2024. This means that every month you will have a consistent price for all of the benefits that we provide, and it won’t fluctuate based on the number of content pieces per month that we release. Don't stress out. There isn't really anything you need to do as a current member, but we wanted to keep you informed and be transparent. We decided to make this change both for the consistency it provides to members and us, and the flexibility to consider other benefits we can provide that aren’t tied to the number of paid posts we make. Your membership will be converted from a “per creation” amount to an easier “monthly” subscription amount.  Understand, that we've never raised fees in over 10 years for our Patron members. During this transition, we are slightly raising membership fees for the first time for all new memberships as operation costs have increased over time. HERE ARE THE CHANGES TO MEMBERSHIP FEES: Base Tier- From $1 to $5 per month Mid Tier- From $12 to $15 per month Top Tier - From $20 to $25 per month The only change existing members will see during this transition is that they'll only be charged once a month now instead of per piece of content that we release. Understand that if you choose to sign up exclusively within the IOS app on your iPhone, you'll pay additional fees to Apple for using their sign-up services. Even if you have an iPhone, you can still choose to sign up outside of Apple IOS ecosystem using the Patreon website directly to sign up and then use the Patreon App like always on your iPhone without the additional Apple fees. You'll be paying Patreon and us directly that way, instead of using Apple and paying their additional fees. Existing members will be happy to know that when we transition, you are grandfathered in at your current pledge level as long as you continue to use your current payment method. Once the transition happens, you can make membership changes in your Patreon account. Thanks for your understanding as we make this transition to a standard monthly subscription fee, which is an easier and more understandable model. We wanted to inform all of our members now so everyone is fully informed before this takes effect in October 2024. Please reach out if you have any questions. We’re looking forward to this next phase of building our community together on Patreon! And if your not yet a Patron member, you are really missing out. It's the fastest growing biker community around and there are a plethora of benefits for becoming a member.
