In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch, and we discuss the fact that Harley-Davidson sales dropped by 16% in the 3rd quarter of 2023. We give you the numbers and break them down. We provide you with Harley-Davidson's response to the numbers. We also give our thoughts on the topic. 2023 has been so far so good for Harley-Davidson fanatics. The year started with the reveal of a few new big cruisers, followed by H-D's new breed of sub-500cc offerings in Asia. Then came the headline-making 2023 CVO duo, which started a new chapter of modernity for the company. However, the story seems different behind the scenes, i.e. in terms of the MoCo's financials.

As a reminder, Harley-Davidson's reporting format segments the company into three parts: Harley-Davidson Motor Company (all motorcycles except LiveWire), Harley-Davidson Financial Services, and LiveWire. This structure has been the way the Motor Company has handled its financial reporting since it transformed LiveWire into its own company in 2022.

Harley-Davidson reported that retail sales of all its motorcycles (excluding LiveWire) declined in all geographic regions in the third quarter of 2023. Overall, worldwide sales were down 16% on the previous year. In North America, the Motor Company saw a 15% drop in sales in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. In Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (which count as one region, called EMEA for short), sales fell by 13%. For Asia-Pacific, sales fell by 24%. Finally, in Latin America, sales fell by 11% in the third quarter of 2023.

So what is Harley-Davidson saying? "Against a challenging macro and consumer backdrop, we have been able to achieve a result that preserves profitability at an industry-leading level. In addition, we successfully launched our pinnacle CVO motorcycles, with CVO retail sales up 25%," said Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO of Harley-Davidson. "Harley-Davidson remains committed to its Hardwire strategy with a focus on both desirability and profitability, and we will do everything possible to achieve our goals while being realistic that current market conditions are complex. We are gearing up for '24 and will ensure that we are fully aligned and ready as we close out the year with Q4."

In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch and we talk about the motorcycle apps we have tested and used. We also talk about some that we no longer use. Mapping, weather, location sharing, and other motorcycle apps can make your trip much more seamless. Over the years we've narrowed our list of apps down to what we think are the best.

Motorcycle apps can be highly beneficial to riders in several ways. Here are some of the key advantages:

1. Navigation and GPS: Many motorcycle-specific apps offer specialized navigation features designed for riders. They can provide routes that take into account factors like winding roads, and scenic routes, and avoid highways. Some apps also offer offline maps, which can be crucial in areas with limited or no cellular coverage.
2. Safety Features: Some apps include features aimed at enhancing rider safety. These can include real-time traffic updates, accident alerts, and road hazard notifications. Additionally, some apps have features that can track your ride and notify emergency contacts in case of an accident.
3. Maintenance and Service: There are apps available that help riders keep track of their motorcycle's maintenance schedule. They can send reminders for services like oil changes, tire replacements, and other regular maintenance tasks.
4. Community and Social Interaction: Many motorcycle apps have social features that allow riders to connect with others in the motorcycle community. This can include forums, group rides, event listings, and the ability to share routes or experiences. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE
5. Weather Updates: Some motorcycle apps provide real-time weather updates, which can be crucial for planning rides and avoiding inclement weather.
6. Fuel and Expense Tracking: Apps can help riders keep track of fuel expenses and mileage. This can be useful for budgeting and for planning longer trips.
7. Route Planning and Sharing: Many apps allow riders to plan routes in advance, often with features that let you customize the type of roads you prefer. You can also share your routes with other riders or save them for future reference.
8. Gear and Accessories Shopping: Some apps have integrated online stores where riders can shop for motorcycle gear, accessories, and parts. This can be convenient for finding and purchasing the equipment you need.
9. Rider Statistics and Analytics: Certain apps can track and analyze your riding habits, providing insights on factors like speed, distance, and even lean angles on turns. This information can be valuable for improving your riding skills.
10. Insurance and Documentation: Some apps allow you to store important documents like your motorcycle registration, insurance, and license digitally. This can be a handy backup in case you forget or lose your physical copies.
11. Event and Ride Planning: Many motorcycle apps have features that allow users to find and join group rides, as well as discover motorcycle-related events and meetups happening in their area.

Overall, motorcycle apps can enhance the riding experience by providing tools and resources that cater specifically to the needs and interests of motorcyclists. They can help riders plan and execute safer, more enjoyable journeys.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of motorcycle lighting and being seen. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists who are conspicuous are under-represented in crashes. A common complaint of street riders is that other motorists fail to observe them. Motorists who violate motorcyclists' right-of-way frequently state, "I didn't see him," or "He came out of nowhere". A variety of recognized tactics exists to make motorcycles and their riders more conspicuous: lighting, surface color and size, and rider traffic strategy. Using the high beam of a motorcycle's headlight during the day also helps to prevent violations of the motorcyclist's right-of-way,

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

Headlight modulators, which cause the light to alternate between a higher and a lower intensity during the day, also increase conspicuity. Many modern street bikes are equipped with position running lamps in their front and/or rear turn signals. This may help other motorists to identify the vehicle as a motorcycle and to better judge its distance and speed. Few motorcycles have more than single-point rear lighting, though multiple lights at the rear would seem to offer similar benefits and also provide redundancy for the single taillight.

Motorists are often distracted by items within their vehicles including cell phones. Lighting and lights that modulate such as offerings from Ciro 3D help grab motorist attention.

Did you buy a new Harley-Davidson and want to know if you should use a Vance and Hines FP4 tuner or a Screamin' Eagle Pro Street tuner? Well, you are in luck. We recently installed Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle stage 1 intakes, exhausts, and Pro Street Tuners on two police Electra Glides for a local police agency. Before I get into the tuner debate, let me tell you what Harley-Davidson intake and exhaust were chosen. The agency decided to go with all Harley-Davidson parts. They went with the Screamin' Eagle Ventilator Air Cleaner Kit and the Screamin' Eagle High-Flow Exhaust System with Street Cannon Mufflers.

The exhaust headers are made of stainless steel and are much lighter than the stock headers. The difference in weight is very noticeable. The heat shields attach to mounts that are secured to the headers with the typical hose clamp with a bolt through the heat shield. While the resulting look isn't as clean the installation is much easier.

Vance & Hines has now released an alternative EPA compliant EFI tuner, the Fulepak 4. It can do all the same things as its little brother, the Fuelpak 3. The difference is that the only cams you'll be able to tune for are EPA compliant cams. And, that list of compliant cams will be added to over time within the Vance & Hines Fulepak 4 smartphone app. At the time of this article, they are supporting the Harley-Davidson 447 & 462 Screamin' Eagle EPA compliant cams. If you're just installing an intake and exhaust, certainly the Vance & Hines Fuelpak 4 is capable of that. Based on my experience, I'd definitely use the Vance and Hines Fuelpak 4 EFI tuner rather than the Screamin' Eagle Pro Street Tuner and I'll explain why.

First, my personal experience tuning two police Harley-Davidson Electra Glides was not very good. Because Harley's Screamin' Eagle EFI tuner app is so glitchy, it made auto tuning the motorcycle very frustrating. I was finally able to tune the bikes after several attempts and then get it all uploaded into the motorcycle. I likely won't have to tune these bikes again and I don't even want to get back into the SE tuner via the app because it was such a bad experience. Just head over to the Harley Screamin' Eagle EFI tuner app for yourself and see the 2-star rating and all the negative written reviews. Also, go to the Harley SE Pro Stree Tuner product page and read the reviews. The comments are all true and you'll experience all the issues you read.

Second, if you get the Screamin' Eagle Pro Street Tuner you'll forever be stuck within the Harley-Davidson ecosystem. That means you'll have to buy only Harley intakes, headers, pipes, cams etc. Whereas, with the Fuelpak 4, you'll have access to all of the same Harley's components along with other aftermarket exhaust, intakes, and cams. I say, keep yourself open with a Vance & Hines Fuelpak 4 from the Law Abiding Biker Store so you always have the option to install other aftermarket components and tune your motorcycle. And, the Fuelpak 4 is only $9 more than the SE tuner.

In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch and we give an update on the Law Abiding Biker Store We moved the Law Abiding Biker Store from Richland, WA to Union Gap, WA in June of 2023. Rick "Big Daddy Kane" and Brian "Goat" White ran the store successfully out of Richland for years. We can't thank them enough for their awesome work. The plan was always to bring the Law Abiding Biker store up to the Yakima, WA area. That plan came to fruition this year.

We were fortunate enough to purchase a building in Union Gap, WA that is right on Main Street. It's a great location for several reasons; it's centrally located between my house and Lurch's house, it has quick freeway access, and it's near shipping companies. The address for the Law Abiding Biker Store is 3302 Main Street, Union Gap, WA 98903.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

The building had good bones but it was due for some much-needed love. We stripped out all the old technology and added up-to-date communications, security, and operations technology. We brought the electrical and plumbing up to date. The interior of the side occupied by the Law Abiding Biker Store was pained by Bob Dawson's Custom Painting. Bob is a long-time Patreon supporter of Law Abiding Biker. He did an outstanding job! Check him out if you're in the greater Yakima, WA area and need some painting done.

We are still carrying all of the products and brands you're used to seeing in our store. We are working to expand the line of products we offer. The larger brick-and-mortar facility will help us get into some of the larger distributors that still require a physical store to become one of their dealers. As a reminder, the store is open when we are there working on it and shipping. The best policy is to make an appointment was us to make sure are there. You can contact us at [email protected].

In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch and we talk about my recent ride and review of the 2023 Indian Pursuit. I give you an honest real-world review of it. After a long wait, Indian finally set me a bike to review. Most reviewers only ride bikes for a short time. We took the Indian Pursuit on a weekend trip and put several hundred miles on it. After all, the Indian Pursuit is a touring bike and the only way to truly test it is to tour with it. My honest review will hopefully provide you with the information you need to decide if the Indian Pursuit is the bike for you.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

The Indian Pursuit is equipped with the PowerPlus liquid-cooled 108 ci engine. This engine was amazing as far as power and performance are concerned. This is a 1768 cc engine and it produces 122 HP and 129 ft lbs torque at 3800 RPM. I found this motor definitely comes alive at 3800 RPM and above. There is plenty of passing power and throttle blips can bring the front tire off the ground. Every time I rolled the throttle I was smiling.

I was very impressed with how the stock front suspension and rear suspension handled. The Indian Purusuit I had was equipped with the premium package and because of that, I could adjust the rear suspension preload within the Ride Command. This was amazing!

Overall, I really enjoyed my time with this Indian Pursuit Dark Horse with the premium package. If money were no issue, I'd certainly buy a Pursuit and add it to the stable. I really didn't want to give it back.

Lurch and I test road the 2023 Road King Special and Breakout when we attended the Harley-Davidson 120th Anniversary celebration in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Harley hooked me up with the Breakout. I believe this is an underrated bike and wanted to review it. Lurch was given a Road King Special to ride. As he says in this episode, he needed A touring bike to haul my film gear.

We review each bike and give our opinions of them. Hopefully, this information will help you if you are considering buying one of these bikes.

See the specifications for both bikes below. You can watch my review video of the 2023 Harley-Davidson Breakout HERE.

We installed Wilbers LDC Nivomat front and rear suspension on a 2021 Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra. After riding the new Wilber's suspension on many different road surfaces, I can highly recommend this suspension and we decided to carry it right in the Law Abiding Biker Store. In this video, I give you my opinions about Wilber's suspension for Harley and compare it to several other name-brand aftermarket suspensions that I've tested over the years.

WHY WE CHANGED THIS HARLEY SUSPENSION:

The owner was not happy with the overall ride of this 2021 CVO, which came with the standard manually adjustable rear shocks that Harley has used for many years now on its touring models. He wanted a smoother ride and better cornering abilities, all of which the Wilbers LDC Nivomat front and rear suspension provides!

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE REVIEW/THOUGHTS:

We were absolutely blown away at how much smoother this Harley CVO Ultra rode and cornered after installing Wilbers front and rear suspension! We did not realize what a difference this suspension would make! We tested it through alleys, potholes, dirt, speed bumps, and railroad tracks. And wow, it was more than we expected and we highly recommend upgrading your rear Harley shocks to Wilbers! It even got rid of most of the bagger wobble while cornering at faster speeds. This Harley CVO just rode like a completely different bike!

What is LDC Nivomat?

• The LDC shock absorber consists of two separate oil chambers, one large-diameter piston rod, a mechanical pump with a pressure valve, and a short external suspension spring.
• With the oil chambers, a distinction is made between external low-pressure and internal gas-assisted high-pressure chamber. When weight is put on the shock, the rod automatically pumps the oil from the low- into the high-pressure chamber. At the same time, the piston rod is pushed out of the damper. This pumping process takes only as long as it takes to balance the bike. The shock absorber settles to the correct level after driving about 1000 ft.
• The low-pressure chamber is located on the outside, the high-pressure chamber is on the inside. When an extra load is applied to the bike, the rod pumps oil from the middle of the low-pressure-chamber to the high-pressure-chamber – the shaft rebounds and the spring rate increases progressively.
• With the LDC Nivomat Twin Shock system, the system functions are divided into two individual components. The Ecoline shock absorber is equipped with a spiral steel spring and takes over part of the overall damping. The Nivomat provides the level control and adjusts the spring rate and the additional, variable damping required depending on the load. The rider doesn't need to manually adjust anything.
• This is why the two shocks look different in the twin shock setup. But if you have a bagger, then no one can see that they are different.

How it works:

• The LDC Nivomat system is pre-set in a way that it reaches the pre-defined position for solo use immediately. This is approx. 1/3 of the total shock travel. In this condition, the system operates on a reduced spring rate and damping compared to a conventional shock absorber and as such provides maximum comfort for solo riders without the rebound bounce.
• Adding a passenger and/or luggage causes the bike to sag and to negatively affect the vehicle geometry. In this case it would normally be necessary to preload the spring on a "standard" shock absorber, but this only adjusts the overall level. The necessary adjustment of the spring rate and damping does not take place.
• After driving a distance of approx. 1000 ft with the rider, passenger and/or luggage, the LDC shock raises the vehicle back to the pre-defined level. The inner pump rod has pumped oil from the low-pressure to the high-pressure chamber. Due to the increased high pressure, the vehicle is lifted to the pre-defined level. At the same time, the gas spring rate has been adjusted to the load as well.
• The adjusted level position, vehicle geometry, spring rate, and damping are all kept constant during the entire ride, ensuring maximum comfort and driving safety.

In this episode, Lurch and I are joined by Patreon Member Brad Johnston and we discuss our recent trip to Milwaukee, WI for the 120th Harley-Davidson anniversary celebration. Lurch and I flew out to Milwaukee and Harley-Davidson hooked us up with bikes to ride while we were there. Brad road out to Milwaukee and he shares his trip.

The 120th Homecoming event was held in Milwaukee, WI July 13 through July 16, 2023. While at the anniversary we learned that Harley-Davidson plans to have a homecoming celebration every year in late July. Will this be an event that rivals Sturgis?

I got to test ride and review the 2023 Harley-Davidson Breakout when I was at the 120th Anniversary celebration in Milwaukee, WI. I share my thoughts and opinions in this video to help you make a decision on whether this is the right bike for you. I really enjoyed riding the Harley Breakout around Milwaukee for 2 days. It's a blast ripping around and giving throttle blips. I didn't see many other Breakouts at the 120th Anniversary and this bike certainly turns heads when you ride by or park it. It is just beautiful to look and as long as you know what this bike was made for, you'll be super happy with it.
