    Dealer Experience of Purchasing a 2024 Harley-Davidson Street Glide

    Dealer Experience of Purchasing a 2024 Harley-Davidson Street Glide

    Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com
    Well, I did it.  After 10 years I finally upgraded from my 2014 Amber Whiskey Street Glide Special to a 2024 Harley Davidson Street Glide in Whiskey Fire with chrome finishes.  I'm starting to think I have a thing for whiskey.  Anyway, we made a business decision to replace my 2014 with a 2024.  There have been enough changes that we can dig into the 2024 and provide you, the audience, with valuable information.  One such piece of info is our brand new tutorial on the Harley-Davidson Skyline Operating System.  
    SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE So if you listen to the podcast you heard me say that I would buy a new Street Glide if the 2024 models have come out with Variable Valve Timing (VVT).  What I learned from Harley engineers is that the VVT motor is extremely smooth and designed to tour.  The downside is it gets tricky to install cams and other motor upgrades.  I may never install a cam, but I want the ability to do so if I choose.  The non-VVT motor is a great base for those of us who want to upgrade our motors in our garages.

It's been a while since I purchased a new bike at a dealership and I learned a few things to share with you.  I was offered something called Theft Protection.  One of the dealerships I was working with automatically added this to my purchase.  It is a clear dab of paint they place on different parts of your bike.  The clear paint contains micro dots with numbers and the paint glows under black light.  As a law enforcement officer (LEO) I can tell you that most LEOs have no idea of this and I can't tell you if this info is in an accessible database.

    Dirt And Adventure Motorcycle Riding With Oscar And Big Daddy Kane | Part 2 of 2

    Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com
    In this Part 2 of 2 episode, Lurch and I are joined by Oscar and Big Daddy Kane.  We talk about adventure motorcycle riding and dirt bikes.  Oscar and Big Daddy haven't been on a mic in a while and we're glad to have them.  We are street riding centric here at Law Abiding Biker but we are getting deeper in the adventure and dirt riding scene.  
    The middle-weight adventure motorcycle market is blowing up.  It seems to be one of the fastest-growing segments of the motorcycle market.  All of the manufacturers are coming out with 600 to 800-cc adventure bikes.  Oscar and Big Daddy Kane are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the new bikes and which ones they prefer.  Lurch and I are still hoping for a middle-weight Harley-Davidson Pan America to come out!

    Interview With Factory Harley KOTB Rider Kyle Wyman & James Rispoli

    Interview With Factory Harley KOTB Rider Kyle Wyman & James Rispoli

    Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com
    In this podcast episode, I get the opportunity to interview Harley-Davidson King of the Baggers (KOTB) riders Kyle Wyman and James Rispoli.  We learn a bit about their riding histories and what got them to where they are now.  We hear about the upcoming KOTB season and what we might expect.  If you're not already following KOTB, you need to!  You can watch it live on MotorAmerica+ with a paid subscription or you can watch the races later on YouTube.  
    SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Kyle Wyman won seven races during the 2023 King of the Baggers season and finished third in the season championship. Kyle is the winningest racer in MotoAmerica King of the Baggers history, with 12 total race wins in the 24 events since the start of the series in the 2021 season, plus the 2021 season championship to his credit. And yet he’s hungrier than ever after signing a new two-year contract with Harley-Davidson.
    “Riding for the Harley-Davidson factory team has been a dream, and I'm excited to be given the opportunity to continue for two more seasons,” said Kyle Wyman. “We've had a lot of success in the class, but we have come up short on the championship two years in a row. Our goal is to win back the title in 2024 and I look forward to getting started with testing in the coming months.”
    CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! James Rispoli, riding for Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson, won two races in the 2023 King of the Baggers season, plus he scored five second place finishes and three third place finishes for second overall in the championship. Rispoli, who was signed to a one-year contract with the factory team, has a long history of racing Harley-Davidson motorcycles dating back to racing an XR750 as a teenager, and earning the nickname “Hogspoli” after winning the American Flat Track Production Twins championship aboard a Latus Motors Racing Harley-Davidson XG750R in 2020. He also won back-to-back AMA Pro Racing Supersport championships in 2011-2012. Rispoli fulfills a lifelong dream by joining the Harley-Davidson® Screamin’ Eagle® factory racing team.
    “I am stoked to have signed with Harley-Davidson. It has been a dream of mine to be a factory rider ever since I was a little kid,” said James Rispoli. “Taking confidence and consistency paired with the backing of the factory, I know we are going to be a big threat in 2024. I am very excited to get to work.”
    Rispoli replaces 2023 factory Harley-Davidson rider Travis Wyman.

    Don't Buy A 2024 Harley-Davidson Touring Model Before You Listen To This

    Don't Buy A 2024 Harley-Davidson Touring Model Before You Listen To This

    Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com
    In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch and we talk about the recently released 2024 Harley-Davidson Touring Models.  Specifically the 2024 Road Glide, the 2024 Street Glide, and the 2024 CVO Road Glide ST.  I had the opportunity to ride these backs recently in Law Vegas at a Harley-Davidson media event.
    I learned quite a bit of information to pass along to you, the consumer.  In the episode, I get into motor size.  Variable Valve Timing (VVT) motors versus non-VVT motors, suspension, the new Skyline OS Operating System, performance parts, and more.  Hopefully, the info we provide will help you decide which bike is right for you.  
    SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The 2024 Road Glide and Street Glide only come in one model which we are referring to as the Standard model.  For the last several years you could purchase a standard model and a special model.  The standard model was more affordable but lacked many desirable items.  The special model cost more but had many upgraded items.  Now, the "standard" model comes with everything the special models of the past had.  The starting price point (chrome finishings) comes in at a price in between what the standard and special model cost.  One thing to note is black finishings and certain colors cost more.  The new "standard" model is a good starting platform to build from.  You can go the performance bagger or the long haul touring route with them.  
    The 2024 CVO Road Glide ST is an all-new model.  It is inspired by the King of the Baggers race series.  I've been predicting a bike like this for some time.  My prediction was wilder including mid controls for more lean angle allowing an amature racer to take it out on the track out of the box.  The CVO Road Glide ST has many race-inspired upgrades including carbon fiber parts, an M8 121 motor with upgrades, performance SHOWA suspension, radial Brembo brakes, special track modes, and more.  
    CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! So, you may want to know if you should buy a standard Road or Street Glide, or should you buy a CVO Road Glide ST?  Here is what I will say; look back on your last two years of riding and evaluate the type of riding you do.  The CVO ST may be the bike for you if want to haul ass and carve up the canyons.  Alternatively, the "standard" models may be best if you want to tour.  Ultimately you'll be happy if you purchase either.  Now, get out there and ride already!

If not for internet in topic would have moved on

50 minutes in and have not discussed anything but pricing and difference of mounts.

I really hope the rest of the shows aren’t like this one. Incessant apologies for not having it together due to time of day during first hour. Who cares! Get to the topic. Twenty minutes on pricing of Dynojet product with nothing about Vance and Hines product, why? Thundermax explained more than Dynojet in first hour and not even part of show topic. Zero technical discussion about Vance and Hines in first hour at all except the name. Quit rambling.
I know the show is ten years old but I’m learning about tuning and if not for my desire to learn from everywhere I would have moved on because frankly you sound like idiots on this show. This is the first time listening to LAB podcast and topic alone kept me listening. I hope other shows are more professional.

They’re okay

Good info on some programs. However, their jokes are dry (dad jokes) and opinions are biased. This is like an old man, dad show who try to be cool.

Brand Bias

Ryan Ulacher is obviously a Harley-Davidson guy. The last two shows, as of this review, were evident of that. In talking about the Indian Motorcycle lineup for 2024, he knew absolutely nothing about them. In talking about the 2024 Harley-Davidson lineup, it was a completely different story. He tries to come across as unbiased, but all humans are biased. Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. We all like what we like. I’m not knocking him whatsoever for that. I would just suggest that the show get a true Indian Motorcycle enthusiast/rider on the show as a regular cohost, to balance it out. Then Ryan doesn’t have to worry with it. He can be the Harley guy that he is, without feeling like he’s stepping on the toes of the Indian fanbase. There would be a true Indian enthusiast on the show to talk Indian. It’s his podcast though. If that’s not what he wants it to be, I get it. Other than that, my only complaint is that that it takes too long to get into the subject of the show. I know bills have to be paid but the ads are excessive.
