Law Abiding Biker | Street Biker Motorcycle Podcast

PODCAST-Get ready for this episode as we dive right into the very heated topic of "motorcycle only checkpoints" (MOC's). We break it down for the law abiding biker community and whether or not this really affects you as a motorcycle rider. Should this ...

Podcast-In this podcast episode I interview John Larson and his lovely wife Jossalyn Larson, who are both members of the Blue Daos Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club (LEMC). They have experience being in a LEMC club prior to assisting with the formation of the Blue Daos MC. From their past and current experiences they have some great insight into what makes a Law Abiding Biker Motorcycle Club work when membership is mixed with civilians and commissioned law enforcement. We talk about what the Blue Daos LEMC is all about, when it was founded, what the colors mean, the three piece patch, membership, officer positions, and so much more. John and Jossalyn are very involved with the law abiding biker community. Next we talk about the website that the Larson's recently got up and running called "Full Throttle Full Mag". The website and blog are all about law abiding biker motorcycle clubs. You can write something about your law abiding biker club and send a picture of your colors, so you can be featured on their website if you like. There are also some great resources on the Full Throttle Full Mag website, such as [...] what to expect when starting a new law abiding biker motorcycle club and free motorcycle club bylaw templates. The Larson's also own and operate Independence Embroidery, so if you need law abiding biker motorcycle club patches look them up. Next, I talk with John and Jossalyn Larson about a newly formed organization named "The Alliance" that they are very involved with. The Alliance is dedicated to bringing all law abiding biker (LAB) clubs together for communication purposes, intelligence sharing, and cross-club brotherhood. The Alliance is very new at this point, but things are moving forward. There is no website right now, but you can check out the FaceBook Page to learn more and get involved. Keep checking in, as they have plans to launch a website. To learn all about the Blue Daos LEMC, The Alliance, and Full Throttle Full Mag, you really must listen to this podcast episode. This episode of the Law Abiding Biker Motorcycle Podcast is absolutely packed with information that you will not want to miss! Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up!

PODCAST-In this episode we try to answer the question on why so many law abiding biker clubs have formed in recent years. We completely approve of course and it is great to see! I dare say that there are more law abiding biker clubs than any other time in U.S. history. It is great to see the motorcycling majority (the ninety nine percenters) taking over the motorcycle biker scene in a huge way. I have “Clint” and “PopEye” in the studio with me to weigh in on this matter. Next, we talk about a recent news related motorcycle story. Apparently, a San Francisco Superior Court Judge recently dismissed lawsuits against BMW motorcycles and Corbin-Pacific Inc brought by a man who claimed that a motorcycle ride gave him an erection that lasted for several months. The man said that vibrations from his 1993 BMW K110RS and Corbin aftermarket seat resulted in a case of priapism, a condition in which a penis remains erect for a prolonged period of time. Of course we tear this lawsuit apart and think that BMW and Corbin seats should have capitalized on this little venture and put Viagra out of business! Heck, I’m still looking to buy a 1993 BMW K110RS with a Corbin seat, but they are all sold out after this story broke? Henry Wolfe, the plaintiff in this lawsuit, went about this thing all wrong by filing a lawsuit to try to get rich. Heck, he was already rich with the woody he had. He should have just went to the companies and [...]marketed this thing right and he would be rich! So, you really have to listen in on this biker podcast episode to get the full scoop.

PODCAST-In this Law Abiding Biker Podcast Episode I have two co-hosts in the studio with me that are both fully patched members of the Sworn Few Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club (LEMC). In fact they are the President and Vice President of the SFMC Big River Chapter. This episode dives into what it is like to go from a "support crew", to a "prospective chapter", all the way to making "full chapter" status within a law abiding biker motorcycle club. This podcast episode will be interesting and speak to all law abiding bikers out there. So listen in as we get up close and personal with the SFMC "Big River" Chapter and their perspective on things.

In Law Abiding Biker Podcast Episode 40 we covered this topic in length. Below is some updated information and articles on the controversy. EPA acknowledges ethanol damages engines: READ ARTICLE HERE According to the EPA, “[e]thanol impacts motor vehicles in two primary ways. First ... ethanol enleans the [air/fuel] ratio (increases the proportion of oxygen relative to hydrocarbons) which can lead to increased exhaust gas temperatures and potentially increase incremental deterioration of emission control hardware and performance over time, possibly causing catalyst failure. Second, ethanol can cause materials compatibility issues, which may lead to other component failures.” “In motorcycles and nonroad products [using E15 and higher ethanol blends], EPA raised engine-failure concerns from overheating.” For the latest information on the AMA’s efforts to protect your access to safe fuel: CLICK HERE Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up!

PODCAST-In this episode I have the privilege of interviewing Mike Petry, who is the National President and a founding member of the 2nd Amendment Motorcycle Club (MC).  Okay, so the club name certainly gives a clear idea of what they stand for-right?  Let me tell you that there is so much more to this motorcycle club and its members & you should definitely take a listen to this episode. We really break it down from how the 2nd Amendment Motorcycle Club came into existence, their struggles, their accomplishments, their ideologies, their beliefs, and just what makes them tick.  We dive further into what it may take to become a member of the 2nd Amendment MC and how to get in touch if you are interested.  Mike has a pretty cool background and some real insight into starting a law abiding biker (LAB) club from the ground up and what it takes to keep a law abiding biker club in line and running smooth.  He has experience with another LAB club and has certainly learned along the way.  I learned that at the end of the day the 2nd Amendment Motorcycle Club is all about the law abiding biker motorcycle scene, riding motorcycles, and protecting our right to bear arms as American Citizens.  After all, what's better than riding motorcycles and shooting guns? Can't get any more American than that!  Okay, maybe some cold [...] beer too. The following is written and approved by 2nd Amendment Motorcycle Club (MC) National President Mike Petry: "2nd Amendment MC. Was founded by 3 FFM (First Founding Members). Feb 23, 2013 since then we’ve had 1 FFM step down and away from the club to start a new chapter in his life. We developed the by-laws for basic guidelines. As the mother chapter we do not micro manage each chapter. With that being said the by-laws do give us the right to over rule anything on a chapter level. We do watch over the chapters in the beginning. Once we fully trust that chapter we’ll give them authorization to order our patches directly from our embroider. We wanted a club that felt strongly about the 2nd Amendment. Although we strongly encourage it we do not require our members to have a conceal carry permit. 2nd Amendment is way bigger that just the CCW’s. One of the things we do to all our vests is what we call Preparing the vest. Before the patch is placed on the vest the President or Vice President will firing a shot through the back of the vest, of course creating a hole. The hole in the vest under the patch will represent the path, for the colors, to have contact with the body of our members. We refer to this as “Letting our colors bleed”. Bullet hole will be an internal honor of 2AMC to all of our full patched members. All efforts will be made to recover the spent round. With come creativity it can be fixed to the outside of the member or vest. Our National Sgt at Arms made his into a chain necklace. As of now we have 3 chapters. Mother chapter being in the Columbus Ohio area. With 2 other chapters in Portsmouth Ohio area (southern Ohio) and Indianapolis Indiana. We do have 2 other chapters in the beginning stages. We also have a handful of nomads members. Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, and Louisiana. We have 24 brothers. Going into our 2nd year as a club, and after listening to LAB pod cast, we have decided to become more selective in our members and chapters. Also, after listening, we came up with a rider formation for group rides. We feel no matter what we stand for, good or bad, public perception is reality. We can spend the whole summer doing good and erase all that perception with one single action. Something that we do not want to happen. Our back patch was designed by the National President and voted on by the national board (Mother chapter officers). Flag background speaks for itself. Red, White and Blue. (the colors are faded down some) The Skull represents the death of all that who have died for and who will die for the freedom of our great country.

PODCAST-In this episode we talk in length about the American Motorcycle Association's (AMA's) recent quiet decision to endorse motorcycle lane splitting, which is only legal in a few areas right now, such as California. Are there safety concerns with motorcycle lane splitting for the rider? Is it safer to allow motorcycle lane splitting to avoid other hazards? What are the other hazards that would be avoided by allowing lane splitting? What states may allow lane splitting and do other countries allow it? We answer these and many more questions during this episode. This is an issue all bikers/motorcyclists should get involved with and to learn the facts before making an opinion. We try to give you all the information in this biker/motorcycle podcast episode, so you can do so. You really must listen to the podcast to get all the necessary information. A summary of the AMA position statement says: “Given the ongoing success of lane splitting in California and the recent enthusiasm for lane splitting and/or filtering in other states, the AMA endorses these practices and will assist groups and individuals working to bring legal lane splitting and/or filtering to their states.” The AMA goes on to say, “Motorcyclists who oppose lane splitting should remember that it is optional in California. Permitting lane splitting is not [...]the same as requiring it, so those opposed to the practice should consider the desires of other motorcyclists who believe they would benefit from it. Lane splitting is an issue of choice.” Motorcyclists encounter challenges from other roadway users and are constantly vigilant to unsafe conditions around them. One of the most dangerous situations for any on-highway motorcyclist is being caught in congested traffic, where stop-and-go vehicles, distracted and inattentive vehicle operators, and environmental conditions pose an increased risk of physical contact with another vehicle or hazard. Obviously, minor contact between a vehicle and motorcycle can be tragic for the motorcycle rider. The Hurt Report1, the most comprehensive motorcycle crash causation study to date, noted that, “Moderate or heavy traffic was the situation at 59.2% of the accidents [studied].” Reducing a motorcyclist’s exposure to vehicles that are frequently accelerating and decelerating on congested roadways can be one way to reduce front- and rear-end collisions for those most vulnerable in traffic. In many countries motorcycle lane splitting is a very normal and accepted practice. It seems the United States is behind the times. Allowing motorcycle lane splitting can provide an escape route for motorcyclists who would otherwise be trapped or struck from behind. There is evidence (Hurt, 1981) that traveling between lanes of stopped or slow-moving cars (i.e., lane splitting) on multiple-lane roads (such as interstate highways) slightly reduces crash frequency compared with staying within the lane and moving with other traffic. Motorcycle lane splitting likely offers a means of reducing congestion in addition to possible safety benefits. For decades, California has been the only state to permit lane splitting. While not specifically permitted or prohibited in the California Vehicle Code, lane splitting authority comes from the California Highway Patrol. Of course all lane splitting should be done in a safe and prudent manner we believe here at Law Abiding Biker Motorcycle Podcast and Media. So far, states other than California, including Nevada, Oregon, Texas, etc., have considered legislation to legalize some form of lane splitting, but none have been signed into law. Additional Episode Information: In this episode we had an email follow up to Episode #37 reference the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland. Listener John O Keeffe of Ireland emails: Great pod cast (37).....Thank you for mentioning the wild Atlantic way. Just to answer some of your questions. There are several motorcycle retails in Ireland.

PODCAST-In this episode we cut through all the smoke, mirrors, politics, and money involved with the rising controversy about whether or not E15 ethanol fuel, also called renewable fuel, is safe to be used in motorcycles, ATV's, and small engines. We have a very heated discussion and really break it down on this biker podcast episode for all the bikers/motorcyclists out there, who have a right to know whether E15 fuel is safe to use. Biker/motorcyclists should know that if you use E15 in your motorcycle it will likely VOID YOUR WARRANTY. Read your motorcycle owner's manual and paperwork, as it likely states in there somewhere that using E15 fuel will void your motorcycle's warranty. It is in the Harley Davidson manual for certain, so beware. Also know that the EPA is pushing E15 fuel and you may get confused and use the fuel in your motorcycle by mistake from blender pumps that are already in service around the country. Be very cautious when fueling your motorcycle and read the labels. You really must listen to this podcast episode to get all the details! Alcohol in E15 fuel is mainly made from corn and contains less combustible energy than gasoline. E15 fuel first became available at gas stations in 2013. E15 is currently offered in [...]Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. It is thought, but not proved, to be the cause of some engine failures that motorcyclists have experienced and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can not prove otherwise at this point. In fact, the EPA has approved E15 use only in 2001-and-newer light-duty vehicles, which include cars, light-duty trucks and medium-duty passenger vehicles. The EPA has not approved its use in any motorcycles or ATVs. The EPA said, "Nearly all gasoline sold in the U.S. is now E10," which is fuel with up to 10 percent ethanol. E15 is a fuel blend of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline. Accidental use of E15 by bikers/motorcyclists has led in some cases to void motorcycle warranties and in some extreme cases motorcycle engine failure. The federal Renewable Fuel Standards program, which the EPA administers, requires that 18.15 billion gallons of renewable fuels such as ethanol be blended into gasoline and diesel fuel in 2014. The standards ensure that transportation fuel sold in the United States contains a minimum volume of renewable fuel as required by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. Federal law also gives the EPA administrator flexibility to reduce the required volume of renewable fuels in any year. EPA Administrator Regina "Gina" McCarthy took advantage of that flexibility by recognizing the "blend wall" and proposed reducing the amount of renewable fuels to be blended in 2014 from 18.15 billion gallons to a proposed range of 15.0 to 15.52 billion gallons, with a recommendation of 15.21 billion gallons. On March 4, 2013, President Barack Obama nominated Regina "Gina" McCarthy to replace Lisa Jackson as head of the EPA. Production of renewable fuels has been growing rapidly in recent years. However, at the same time, advances in vehicle fuel economy and other economic factors have pushed gasoline consumption far lower than what was expected when Congress passed the Renewable Fuel Standard in 2007. As a result, we are now at the 'E10 blend wall,' the point at which the E10 fuel pool is saturated with ethanol." American Motorcycle Association (AMA) Vice President for Government Relations Wayne Allard says, "We're glad to see that the EPA is taking this action today, though this is not a long-term solution for motorcyclists who worry that the use of E15 fuel could damage their engines and void their warranties," The American Motorcyclist Association remains committed to AMA members-and all motorcyclists-as we continue to support legislation that prohibits E15 fuel."

PODCAST-In this episode we dive into the true life story of a very remarkable Law Abiding Biker.  Paul Pelland, also known as "Long Haul Paul", has a truly amazing story and he shares everything with me in this interview. You won't want to miss this biker podcast episode of true inspiration and dedication.  I learned that Paul Pelland is an absolute machine and force to be reckoned with in spite of the fact that in 2005 he was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). He didn't let that stop him from being a biker and he made it his life's mission to ride his motorcycle a million miles in his fight to bring awareness to MS.  It is called "Paul Pelland's Endless Road Tour".  In addition, he is driving efforts to raise money for MS research and to find a cure! The inaugural 2013 MS5000 ride was a great successful fundraiser.  45 riders collectively rode 200,000 miles while raising $23,000 for Multiple Sclerosis.  Anyone can enter the MS5000 event and you ride the miles you can to support the National MS Society. The reason for this Law Abiding Biker Podcast Episode is because [...] of a loyal listener's email.  He made me aware of Paul Pelland and his mission.  I want to thank Quentin Lewis of Leicester, MA for the following email: "You probably don't know me (except for some dumb comments on FB as one of your podcast listeners), but I wanted to introduce you to Paul Pelland, known as "Long Haul Paul", because he was an Iron Butt rally guy in a prior life.....I say prior life because that was before he was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). Anyways.....he has made it his mission to ride for MS, and he is working on what he calls his "Million Miles for a Cure". Paul has organized the MS5000, and it is a ride that any of us can make where we will ride 5000 miles in 50 days. (Or for those of us unable to make that distance, a combination of miles and money.....because after all, this is actually a fun way for us riders to raise money for the cause and have a good excuse to ride!) You can learn more about him here: http://www.longhaulpaul.com. I am not connected with Paul, but I did see his talk at last years Americade, and found him to be a real rider who is trying to use his abilities to raise money for a good cause.  Anyways, I suggest you contact him for an interview.....he is a great guy, and I am sure he would love to get people involved with his MS5000 ride." INTERVIEW About Paul Pelland Where do you live? Raised in Attleboro, Massachusetts, now lives in Londonderry, New Hampshire Where did you grow up? Background in engineering, electronics and mechanics. Paul Pelland is an avid motorcycle enthusiast Riding motorcycles for 26 years, has owned  30+ bikes Long distance rally competitor What does that mean?

PODCAST-In this episode we get deep into what you may want to know about joining the Sworn Few Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club-LEMC.  This episode is very informational and will speak to any Law Abiding Biker.  Whether you want to join a Law Abiding Biker (LAB) Club, the Sworn Few LEMC, you are already a member of a LAB club, , another LEO club, a civilian club, a mixed club, or you are curious about what club entrance standards your club might want to have, then you will want to listen for sure!  This blog also has much information to offer. Due to requests, we wanted to put this episode out to answer any questions people may have about some of the requirements to be considered to join an established Sworn Few Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club Chapter or to start a new Sworn Few LEMC Chapter. As most of you know by now, Ryan Urlacher the owner/founder and hosts of the Law Abiding Biker (LAB) Podcast,  are all full-time Law Enforcement Officers (LEO's) and members of the Sworn Few Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club-LEMC.  From now on, persons showing interest in joining the Sworn Few LEMC or showing interest will be directed to this podcast episode first. HERE IS SOME INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE SWORN FEW LEMC: Thanks for your interest in the Sworn Few Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club (LEMC).  We truly appreciate your interest in our club.  There is much to discuss reference a possible chapter in your area or your interest in joining an established chapter and it would need to be done via a personal phone call.  There is just too much information and/or questions to answer via email, so send make sure you provide us with your full name and a call back phone number.  To contact the Sworn Few LEMC-CLICK HERE.  We have processes and protocols in place for handling new chapter and membership requests.    We must tell you that it is quite a commitment and process to make it all the way into the Sworn Few LEMC brotherhood & nothing is guaranteed or given.  Everything is earned through honesty, brotherhood, hard work, dedication, integrity, and professionalism. The Sworn Few LEMCabsolutely doesn't care about club/chapter numbers, but we are certainly open to adding the highest quality of members (true brothers). We have made very firm decisions to move forward cautiously and follow our protocols. Unfortunately, we see too many LEMC's growing way too fast and membership comes extremely easy.  There is no pride in something that comes easy or is given away.  Also, with that sort of rapid growth comes many problems that we will avoid at all costs in the SFMC. Many LEMC’s are popping up all over and they only care about numbers and don’t properly screen or evaluate their membership.  Actions of some of those LEO club members have put a negative light on us all.  The simple fact that one is a LEO certainly does not make them a good LEMC member. Simply put, many just don't want to put in the actual time, work, and commitment that is necessary to establish a Sworn Few LEMC chapter or to become a member, and that's okay with us.  The Sworn Few LEMC's standards are set very high for a reason. We have very clear visions about the future of this club and protecting its integrity.  Only those that have truly sought and obtained full SFMC membership will ever feel that kind of pride and brotherhood. It simply can’t be put into words.   Also know that we don't have any, nor will we ever have so-called "Nomads" in the SFMC.  There will never be one SFMC member in an area.  The SFMC is first and foremost about brotherhood and you can't have that if someone is a "Nomad" and a loner. To get started with a possible chapter you would need 4 minimum and 6 maximum TRUE brothers that you fully trust, respect, and know well to even be considered to start an SFMC "support crew", which is the first step in our process should that happen.  Please understand that we are certainly not trying to scare you away whatsoever.

PODCAST-In this episode of the Law Abiding Biker/Motorcycle Podcast we talk about an array of topics. Did Fonzie from the TV show Happy Days really ride a motorcycle? Does he ride a motorcycle now? Henry Winkler was the actor that played Fonzie on Happy Days and a character that we all came to know and love. He played the tough “biker” type. Here is a direct link to an article reference Fonzie along with a YouTube link: We opened the show with a little snippet of an awesome song called “Remember the Name”. You can get it on iTunes and elsewhere. Song: Remember the name (2005) Artist: Fort Minor (feat. Styles of Beyond) Album: The Rising Tied (Deluxe Version) LINK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Minor I found a great video on Facebook. It is an awesome way for bikers/motorcyclists to fold their chaps, so that they take less room in your saddle bags. Additionally, she shows how to roll them and fold them in a way that they then snap together, keeping them rolled tightly. You really must see this video. I shared the video on the Law Abiding Biker Facebook Page and put it below for your viewing. // Post by Law Abiding Biker. We also play a voicemail from a long time supporter of the Law Abiding Biker/Motorcycle Podcast, Greg Gaxiola. Thanks Greg for your continued support! We go over some ongoing comments on the Law Abiding Biker Media website in reference to my 2014 Street Glide Special review and video. The community is really helping each other out and there is much good information, so check it out! My 2014 Street Glide Special does have adjustable rear shocks. Their is a knob/dial behind the left saddlebag that you can turn to make the suspension softer or firmer. I have not played with this yet, but will in the future and report back. The regular Street Glide has adjustable rear air shocks that you need a bicycle stye pump for. I believe the valve stem to adjust the air shocks is also between the left saddle bag and rear fender. That’s where it was on my 2011 Street Glide anyways. Last, we review an IOS App called GroupMe. The motorcycle club I am in, Sworn Few Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, has utilized the GroupMe App since our inception and find it to be a very useful tool for us to conduct all kinds of club business. GroupMe is a free private chatting app. You can set up as many different groups as you want and assign a photo to each. Each person can also assign themselves a photo. Additionally, you can single a person out of a group and then just talk with them one on one. The GrouMe app has worked flawlessly for our motorcycle club and it is always updated. They have even added some cool new features. You’ll have to listen to this podcast episode to get the whole scoop and review.
