LAB-416-2025 Fall Drag Specialties National Vendor Presentation (NVP)

The 2025 NVP Product Expo, hosted by Drag Specialties (in partnership with Parts Unlimited), took place at the Baird Center in Milwaukee on September 6–7. This marked the second straight year the event was held in Milwaukee after relocating from Madison, reflecting continued growth and a need for larger exhibition space. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The NVP isn't just a trade show — it functions as a showcase of the latest aftermarket products and accessories for powersports enthusiasts and dealers. Attendees got a first look at new offerings from some of the biggest names in the industry, with the expo floor doubling as a hands-on venue for vendor–dealer interaction, product demonstrations, and dealer-training sessions CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Beyond business, the 2025 NVP also emphasized community and culture.

All told, the NVP delivered value, excitement, and connection for dealers and enthusiasts alike. NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED: Don't Be THAT Rider: T-Shirts vs. Hot Weather Riding Jackets! The TRUTH!

Lurch and I are joined by Ken Madden from Ciro and we talk about counterfeit and knock off motorcycle products.   Ken is a Senior Product Designer at Ciro and he just happens to also be a Patreon supporter of Law Abiding Biker.  Ken, along with Ciro and other motorcycle parts innovators and creators are being ripped off.  Overseas companies that do not respect patents are recreating inferior version of the hard work others put in.  Knockoff motorcycle products may look like a bargain up front, but they come with some serious downsides that riders often don't realize until it's too late. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE 1. Lower Quality Materials Knockoffs typically use cheaper metals, plastics, and electronics. That means parts can crack, fade, corrode, or fail much faster than name-brand components. 2. Poor Fitment & Compatibility These products often aren't engineered to OEM tolerances. Expect problems like: Misaligned holes Rattling or vibrating Parts that require modification to fit Components that interfere with other accessories 3. Reduced Safety This is the biggest risk. Knockoff: Helmets may not meet DOT/ECE standards Brake parts may not withstand heat Lighting may fail or deliver low visibility Structural parts can break under stress A small failure at 70 mph can become a major problem. 4. No Warranty, Support, or Testing Reputable motorcycle brands invest in R&D, testing, and customer support. Knockoffs typically offer: No meaningful warranty No replacement parts No safety testing No customer service Once it fails, you're on your own CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! 5. Shorter Lifespan (Costing More Over Time) Cheap parts often wear out quickly, so riders end up replacing them multiple times. The "savings" disappear fast. 6. Potential Damage to Your Bike Poorly made accessories can: Stress mounting points Scratch paint Cause electrical issues Throw off suspension or geometry Saving $50 on a part can cause hundreds in damage. 7. Resale & Reliability Hit Buyers can spot cheap accessories. Knockoffs on a bike can: Lower resale value Make the bike look poorly maintained Raise concerns about what other shortcuts were taken 8. Ethical & Legal Issues Many knockoffs: Copy patented designs Copy brand logos Are made in unregulated factories Hurt legitimate manufacturers NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED: Vance & Hines V02 Air Intake Install & Overview for Harley-Davidson Motorcycles S&S Cam Kit Installation on Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight | Full Guide Sponsor-Ciro 3D CLICK HERE!

New Patron: Fred Wheeler of Mobile, Alabama Bottom Line Knockoff motorcycle parts may save money up front, but the risks—in safety, reliability, and long-term cost—usually make them a bad investment. Quality aftermarket or OEM parts nearly always pay off in durability and peace of mind.

Harley-Davidson has officially opened the curtain on its 2026 model lineup with Chapter 1 of the "Inside the 2026 Harley-Davidson Lineup" series on YouTube, confirming that Chapter 2 will land on January 14, 2026. As expected, this first drop focuses on early releases and teases, not sweeping platform changes. That's because 2026 is what the industry calls a cyclic year — a period centered on refinement, added colorways, and incremental updates rather than ground-up redesigns. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE With the massive touring overhaul of 2024 still fresh, Harley is clearly in refinement mode. The 2026 Street Glide and Road Glide are already live with new paint and options, while cruisers, sport models, and the Pan America lineup return structurally unchanged aside from updated colors. The big news is what Harley didn't fully reveal: covered teaser shots for returning "Limited" touring trims, multiple new CVO variants, updated trikes that finally appear to be getting the modern fairing designs, and a potential Pan America 1250 Limited. Meanwhile, heavily rumored models like the "Sprint" retro and Bronx streetfighter remain absent from the official lineup. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! All eyes now turn to January 14, where Harley-Davidson promises the remainder of the 2026 updates — including the full CVO lineup, revised touring trims, refreshed trike models, and possibly a fully equipped Pan America. While this year is a classic color-and-carryover cycle, it sets the stage for key refinements across Harley's core platforms. Riders can expect a polished continuation of the 2024-era redesign, with the brand tightening its model structure and preparing for the next major evolution later in the decade.

Indian Motorcycle has officially unveiled its 2026 lineup, marking what the industry calls a "cyclic year" — a season of refinements rather than revolutions. The big story is the debut of the Sport Scout RT, a bold new addition to the Scout family that bridges the gap between performance cruiser and light sport-tourer. With its 1250cc liquid-cooled engine producing 105 horsepower, moto-style bars, 19-inch front wheel, and locking hard bags, the Sport Scout RT delivers both aggression and practicality. Starting at $16,999 and available in Black Smoke, Sunset Red Metallic, and Chalk, it's the most performance-oriented Scout yet. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Beyond the new model, Indian's 2026 range sees fresh paint, updated graphics, and new accessories across its Scout, Chief, and Touring lines. The PowerPlus baggers and tourers continue largely unchanged, aside from color updates and new accessory options like handlebars, seats, luggage liners, and audio upgrades. While Indian continues to appeal to younger riders with modern tech and styling, the brand still lacks a truly low-cost entry model—a gap that could become crucial as the next generation of riders leans toward $6K–$8K machines. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Overall, Indian's 2026 strategy focuses on refinement and appeal rather than reinvention. The Sport Scout RT is a standout move that adds excitement to the lineup, offering a stylish and capable option for riders who want performance without sacrificing comfort. As Indian and Harley-Davidson continue to battle for market share and younger customers, competition is fueling innovation—and that's great news for riders.

In this podcast episode, I'm joined by Lurch and Patreon Member (and Indian Motorcycle rider) Anthony Peters.  We talk about the big announcement that Polaris sold off it's majority ownership of Indian Motorcycles.  In one of the biggest shake-ups the motorcycle world has seen in years, Polaris has announced that it's selling a majority stake in Indian Motorcycle to the private equity firm Carolwood LP.  This move has many riders and industry insiders asking the same question — is Indian Motorcycle in trouble, or are they gearing up for something big?  It's a bold, unexpected shift that could either ignite new growth or put the brand in a risky position. Let's take a closer look at what's really happening and why it matters. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE According to Polaris, this separation will allow both companies to focus more strategically on what they do best.  For Polaris, that means doubling down on its most profitable segments: off-road vehicles, snowmobiles, and boats.  Indian Motorcycle only accounts for about 7% of Polaris' total annual revenue — roughly $478 million.  By selling Indian, Polaris expects to increase annual earnings by $50 million and boost earnings per share by $1.00, which is a solid short-term win for shareholders.  For Indian, this could mean more freedom to innovate and make faster decisions without having to compete for corporate attention within Polaris' massive portfolio. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Competition breeds innovation.  Indian has pushed Harley to improve their bikes, tech, and customer experience — and vice versa.  If one of these brands fails, the other risks getting complacent. We need both Indian Motorcycle and Harley-Davidson to succeed because their rivalry drives progress, creativity, and the kind of passion that fuels the entire riding community. This next chapter is going to be fascinating — two legendary brands, both with new CEOs, both looking to make their mark in a changing motorcycle landscape.

After steering Harley-Davidson through a turbulent five-year transformation, CEO Jochen Zeitz has stepped aside, making way for newcomer Artie Starrs. While Harley calls Zeitz's departure a planned retirement, many point to mounting pressure from activist investors like H Partners and a disappointing second quarter as catalysts for change. Zeitz will remain on as senior advisor through early 2026, leaving behind a legacy defined by his Hardwire strategy—streamlining operations, spinning off LiveWire, and focusing the brand on profitability over volume. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Starrs, known for his leadership at Topgolf and Pizza Hut, represents a cultural shift for the 121-year-old motorcycle brand. Though new to the motorcycle industry, he's already taken steps to win over skeptics—purchasing a Heritage Classic and enrolling in a rider course. His focus appears to be revitalizing Harley's retail and dealer experience, improving financial flexibility through strategic moves like the HDFS loan sale to KKR and PIMCO, and reintroducing more accessible models to attract younger riders. The board is betting that his franchise and consumer-brand expertise will translate into new growth. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! As Harley grapples with aging demographics, global competition, and shifting rider preferences, Starrs' challenge will be balancing the premium heritage Zeitz reinforced with a new era of inclusivity and affordability. The next twelve months will reveal whether Harley can expand its base without losing the brand's soul. In this episode, we unpack the leadership drama, investor influence, and what these changes mean for riders, dealers, and the future of America's most iconic motorcycle manufacturer.

A new movie in the Marvel Universe, Thunderbolts, brings together a team of assassins, outcasts, and fallen heroes who must work together after realizing they've been betrayed by their employer, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. With nowhere to turn and the odds stacked against them, they must find a way to survive—and fight back. In the film, we see the 149-horsepower Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 ST perform incredible, scene-stealing stunts without CGI.  SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Some bikes make history. Others rewrite it. In 1988 and 1989, Willie G. Davidson rode early Fat Boy prototypes into Daytona, seeking direct feedback from riders and igniting a legacy that would span generations. By 1990, the Fat Boy was born, quickly becoming one of the most legendary models in Harley-Davidson history. Now, 35 years later, the new 2025 Fat Boy Gray Ghost charges forward, bringing that legacy full circle. Inspired by the riders who made it an icon, this tribute honors the past while the next generation keeps the fire burning.
