Denver, Colorado-Iron Order MC Member Derick Duran Cleared in Shooting of Mongols MC Member Victor Mendoza-Self-Defense

April 19, 2016 By Ryan Urlacher 7 Comments

Self-Defense-Iron Order Motorcycle Club member Derrick “Kong” Duran has been cleared of any wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of Mongols MC member Victor “Nubs” Mendoza that occurred on January 30, 2016 at the Motorcycle Expo at the National Western Complex in Denver, Colorado. Many articles & bloggers want to note that Duran is a corrections department employee. If we are going to note Duran's employment affiliation, then we might as well clearly note that Mendoza was a full patch member of the Mongols MC, a clearly recognized outlaw motorcycle gang (OMG) with convicted felons as members.

As I have stated many times, I have no affiliation with either of the motorcycle clubs involved, neither the Iron Order MC nor the Mongols MC. I have never personally experienced a problem with members of either club. Instead, I rely on facts and the appropriate criminal investigation. The basement bloggers will continue their rants of ridiculous conspiracy theories to fit their agendas. Of course, they have zero evidence of such to present when asked.

Listen to our Law Abiding Biker Podcast Episode #101 on this incident:

LAB-101-Colorado Motorcycle Expo Biker Shooting & Stabbing-1 Killed-A Fair Perspective

The Denver Police Department spent hundreds of hours on this detailed criminal investigation. On Monday, it was turned over to the Denver District Attorney's Office, said Denver Police Commander Ron Saunier, as a first-degree murder case. The DA's Office revealed in a press release that both Duran and Mendoza fired shots. A confrontation occurred between the Iron Order and the Mongols. At some point, Duran fired the first shot, which injured one person. Mendoza then fired his pistol at Duran, grazing his torso and striking another man standing behind Duran. At this point, Duran fired back at Mendoza, killing him.

The official press release from the DA's Office dated April 19, 2016 says, “The case was presented for consideration of charges yesterday, and the legal review concluded that there is no likelihood of a conviction due to the self-defense claim of Mr. Duran.”

The DA's Office said four people were hit by gunfire, two people were victims of assault and one person was stabbed during this incident. Commander Saunier said about 40 witnesses were interviewed at the scene and 17 of those were with the Iron Order MC. So, that means 23 of those witnesses were completely independent bystanders. Saunier said, “We have considered this a homicide investigation throughout. I believe we have done a complete and thorough investigation.”

Note: Fatal shootings are investigated as a homicide from the ground up by law enforcement in the U.S. and are taken very seriously when it comes to overall efforts. The self-defense or “justifiable homicide” prong can later be investigated and a DA can [Read more…]

The following is approved by Immortal Knights IKPSMC President Randy “Jake” Patton:

On December 2nd 2011 I made the trek north. At this meeting were Jetwash,
Mickey, Minnie, Bubba and Dory. As I explained why I made the decision to
leave our old club behind, I could see the discontent rise in their eyes.
It was then that I pitched my idea of a club that would be what I had
thought our former club was supposed to be.

Not only did they find the idea of starting a new club intriguing, each
one of them removed their patches and decided to help me form our new
club.

I had the idea of using “IK” in the name of our fledgling club. I wanted
the name “knights” as part of the club. It took us a while, but Mickey
came up with the word “immortal” for the first part of our name. We named
our club the Immortal Knights Public Safety Motorcycle Club.

The Phoenix was chosen as our back patch centerpiece. We chose that as we
saw ourselves rising from the ashes of a crumbling mess and moving onward
from that in a rebirth of something new.

The reasoning behind using the letters I & K are, “I” is the ninth letter
of the alphabet and “K” is the eleventh. Together they represent 911. The
911 has a double meaning in our club. It represents September 11th when
the United States was attacked, and the emergency number that is called
when the public is in need of a first responder.

It was decided that the sign of our clubs founders would be the infinity
symbol. The infinity would represent the original eight members of the
Immortal Knights as well as keeping the memories of the fallen first
responders alive.

When we started this club, we thought about how we wanted to approach our
bylaws. We wrote them with a national flavor but knew that we did not want
to grow too fast. After the experiences from our former life, we saw
firsthand what fast growth can do to an organization. So, we decided to
take it slow. If that means we never grow out of the state of Utah, so be
it. With that being said, we are not afraid of moving out of our home
state, but will do it at our own pace.

Our First Responders Tribute Ride is a cornerstone of the club. Each year
we select a different first responder organization to raise money for. We
beat the pavement and pound on doors working towards the end goal, which
is the ride. We gather as many bikers as we can and ride through the local
mountains. At the end of the ride we have some good food, raffle off some
of the items that have been donated, and we also have an auction for some
of the bigger items. Every penny we raise through these efforts is then
given to the organization we ride for.

Best GoPro Motorcycle Action Camera Mount System-Biker Gripper

April 3, 2016 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

By Bikers for Bikers

Video-In this video I show you some great action cam footage I captured with my GoPro Action Camera mounted to my Harley-Davidson motorcycle. I used the strongest, sexiest, and sleekest GoPro motorcycle mount on the market, the Biker Gripper. These motorcycle GoPro mounts are so versatile and can be creatively mounted to capture a ton of different angles. The mount comes on and off super fast with little effort, so you can spend more time riding!

GET YOUR BIKER GRIPPER GOPRO OR CELL PHONE MOUNT HERE

I used the Biker Gripper GoPro mount system and mounted the camera to the top of my Harley engine guard. I could have mounted the GoPro more forward or back of course and it is all up to you and what you're trying to capture. Because the Biker Gripper GoPro mount system base is made of high-quality aircraft grade aluminum through a patent CNC process, the footage is solid and you'll see no vibration. Yup, made right here in the USA! By Bikers for Bikers!

The Biker Gripper GoPro mount fits current production round bar sizes from 7/8” (22mm) up to 1 1⁄4” (32mm) into one mount system. This allows it to fit virtually every handlebar on motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATV's, UTV's and other powersport vehicles. Requires only 3⁄4” of round bar space and can be mounted at any angle.

We tried over and over the cheap plastic GoPro brand bar mount system to only have many of them break after multiple uses & they take a ton of time to set up. In search of a real solution for bikers to mount their GoPro to their motorcycle, we introduced the Biker Gripper to the Law Abiding Biker™ Store.

The rest is history…………..

Disabled Broke Down Motorcyclist-Bikers Helping Other Bikers-Moto Biker VLOG-28

March 29, 2016 By Ryan Urlacher 4 Comments

VLOG-In this Biker Moto VLOG I was just riding home on my Harley after running errands in town. I saw a fellow biker/motorcyclists in a very busy part of Interstate 82 just outside of Yakima, WA and he appeared to be broken down. Without hesitation, I pulled over to check on the fellow rider and see if I could help him. Seems he thought he had more gas than he did and ran out. We have a great discussion and get to meet each other. In the end he has help en route with gas and I ride on.

This is how all law abiding bikers/motorcyclists (99%ers) should treat each other, because you never know when it can happen to you. Take it as just another reason to meet a biker you have not yet met. These sort of things make the law abiding biker community draw closer together. We are the motorcycling majority out on the roads, so extend a helping hand.
