Harley-Davidson recently flew me to Sturgis to test ride and review the Pan America, their first adventure motorcycle. It was a very quick 4-day trip, 2 of those days being travel days. Understand, Harley-Davidson paid for the flights, meals, and lodging. However, no contract was mentioned or signed and I was never told what I could or could not say, so I will give you an unbiased real-world biker review as always. It's worth noting that I regularly ride street and adventure, so I was excited to test this new motorcycle.
SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREI took Lurch along as a production hand as we filmed the entire process and did a full review video on our YouTube Channel. You'll have to listen to this podcast episode and watch our official Harley Pan America review video to get all the details. Lurch and I give you an inside look at the intricate details of this trip and how it came all together. It's a true behind-the-scenes look. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be flown to Sturgis by Harley-Davidson and review a motorcycle then definitely listen to this podcast episode.
If you've ever ridden past those gravel and dirt roads and wondered where they went then you should consider the Pan America. Whether you are an experienced adventure motorcycle rider or new to riding off-road, I think this would be a great option. A newer off-road adventure rider could use the standard ride modes, instilling confidence & providing a level of safety while learning. Certainly, if a new rider wanted to progress from there they could enter more aggressive ride modes.

Prior to the Harley Pan America, the Sturgis Rally was mostly comprised of street Harley riders that were glued to riding mostly paved roads. However, there is a massive amount of gravel and dirt roads throughout the Black Hills in South Dakota that are begging to be explored by riders. I think as we move forward you'll see more Harley Pan America adventure riders at Sturgis and that will bring both worlds closer together. And, I think that's a good thing. At the end of the day, we all ride for the same reasons, both on and off-road.......to free our souls, become one with our machines, and just breathe!

LAB-277-Law Abiding Biker Store Extravaganza!
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com
Big Daddy Kane, Lurch, and I have a great time in this podcast episode talking about the Law Abiding Biker Store. We have built the store from the ground up over many years now. It is much hard work running the store but knowing that we're serving the biker community makes it all worth it.
We really appreciate the support of the motorcycle community over the years and it's the main reason we've been able to grow and continue to grow. Shopping in our store really assists us in our mission to help, educate, entertain, and inspire as many bikers as we can worldwide.
SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREWe like to do more than just sell you great motorcycle products. We want you to know that you're buying from bikers that live, eat, and breathe motorcycles. We test so many of the products in our store in a real-world biker environment. The guys in our store will actually take care of you unlike buying from one of the large online motorcycle store conglomerates who just want to sell you something. The Law Abiding Biker Store is run by bikers for bikers.
As the Law Abiding Biker Store has grown over the years we've been able to move into larger facilities several times and we're now getting close to outgrowing our current facility.
CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!We have added so many great new motorcycle products recently to the store and we wanted to let everyone know about them in this episode.
We have a lot of fun in this episode talking about motorcycle products and more, so make sure to listen in.

LAB-279-Switching Back to a Two-Wheel Harley Ultra From a Trike?
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com
About a year ago, Big Daddy Kane switched from a two-wheel Harley Ultra Limited to a Harley Tri-Glide trike. He was hoping that the trike would better serve his needs due to a few underlying medical issues. Well, there's only one way to find out, and that's to get a trike and ride the heck out of it. In episode 210 of the podcast, we had a great time discussing trikes and had another Haley Tri-glide rider present, Big Daddy Kane's dad. Take a listen!
Big Daddy rode the heck out of his Harley trike over the past year. Most recently, he rode it 3200 miles during a 9-day trip to Sturgis 2020, the 80th Anniversary. He was also riding with his passenger during the trip and riding in our larger group of about 12 motorcycles.
SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREBig Daddy started experiencing some issues as a trike obviously handles differently than a two-wheel motorcycle. There is a lot more pressure on your arms and wrists as you are not leaning but turning the bars through corners. You use your arms a lot more and he was experiencing arm fatigue and wrist pain due to a medical issue.
He also found it difficult at times to keep up with the group, both while passing cars and during corners. Both are expected on a trike as you can't take corners as quickly and the heavier trike will not get up and go as fast while passing as a two-wheel Harley will.
CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!There are many other things you should know if you're considering a Harley trike. With that said, Big Daddy switched because of some particular issues he was having, which others may not have. The trike is certainly perfect for many riders out there. Big Daddy is just sharing his personal experiences and journey while trying a trike during this episode, so take a listen.
Ultimately, Big Daddy traded in his Harley trike during Sturgis at Black Hills Harley-Davidson and left with a 2020 Harley Ultra Limited and he's loving it! That, along with many other things will be seen in my Sturgis 2020 documentary film when it's released!
