Tonight we kick off their long ride planning talking about preparing your bike and yourself. We are joined by Ted from the Motorcycle Men (http://www.motorcyclemen.us/) podcast to share his experience with long riding. Rich called into the Motorcycle Men podcast during their Episode 22 (http://www.motorcyclemen.us/episodes/blog/season-2-episode-22-going-the-long-distance-and-rich-from-loud-pipes) recording. Rich, Rico, and Ted all where able to get out on their bikes as the east coast weather has made a turn toward warmer weather. What the guys sipped on during the show: * Ted chocolate milk. * Rich Hoppy Blonde Ale (http://www.newbelgium.com/beer/hoppy-blonde) from New Belgium * Rico Lazy Magnolia Pecan Ale (https://www.lazymagnolia.com/beer/southern-pecan/) TOPICS: Rich views a long ride as riding all day on the bike - not going out meeting guys and just hanging out. A good example of this would be mountain ride discussed in episode 42. Reading recommendation for preparing the mind and body for long distance riding:Building an Iron Butt (source: BikeBandit.com) Rich: Focus on getting hydrated couple of days before ride Get a good amount of quality rest Do a nut and bolt check of bike a few weeks before ride, so you have time to correct larger issues Plan out a realistic route with some options for change Rico: Perform bike check- breaks, tires, tire pressure, fluids, and chain/belts Focus on yourself - eat light, hydrate, stretch, etc Check the weather so know what type of gear you need Have right gear for the type of riding you plan to do Have reflective gear if riding at night to make sure you are seen by others Ted: Carry a tire repair kit and tire pump Have extra oil and fuel A must is to have zip ties as they can be very useful in many cases Tool kit Wear compression gear to help with blood flow Camelbak to allow you drink while riding so you stay hydrated. Use the street view in Google Maps to have and idea what road will be like. Jon: Have route planned out and everyone be familiar with an overview of the route. Furkot (https://trips.furkot.com/?hl=en-US) used to plan trip, which allows you to export to other devices. Alternative to using dedicated GPS unit - check out an app called Co-Pilot (https://copilotgps.com/us/personal/). For group riding, make sure everyone knows where next stop will be in case group gets split Carry USB battery pack to provide extra power for devices Check out OutsideHow (https://outsidehow.com/plan-camping-trip.html) for some great trip planning information related to camping. Harley announces a new Sportster: The Roadster (http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Motorcycles/roadster.html) The guys really like the bike and how it looks. One of Patron members Markus sent us a how Harley should have done it. Ted doesn't like and Rich loves it. Rich gets Ted's opinion of the Moto Guzzi Flying Fortess. Ted - doesn't like the heads sticking out of side. Says batman would buy this bike if he was looking for a bike, also thinks the bike is ugly. Rich loves the bike and is really looking forward to being able to ride it after the release in Sturgis. The guys talked about the Ducati XDiavel.  Ted was able to sit on bike and said the cockpit is too small for his size, but loves the look.  Rich and Rico are planning on riding it June, stay tune as there will for sure be a show talking about the XDiavel ride. U-TURN: After the recent helmet tech episode, we spin around and take a quick look at a patent from Honda for blind spot monitoring for bikes. The guys don't really like this nor want it on their bikes.

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this episode we dive into everything surrounding the Harley Davidson V-Rod Muscle and Night Rod Special. We have Bid Daddy Kane on hand, who has personally owned one of these bad ass bikes. He has intimate knowledge of it and even tricked it out. He has since sold that bike, but misses it in many ways. Although the V-Rod seemingly has less interest than many other Harley models, it certainly has earned a place among many bikers. There are some pros and cons to the V-Rod and much of it has to do with personal taste and style. We reveal why you might be interested in this bike and why you may not be.   We dive into the specs of the V-Rod and its history dating back to 2001. It has some amazing history and was produced to compete with Japanese & American muscle bikes. The V-Rod uses a Revolution engine, which was developed jointly with Porsche. This was the first time Harley used overhead cams and liquid cooling. What looks like the gas tank on a Harley V-Rod is actually the air cleaner cover. The actual gas tank is relocated to underneath the seat. Harley Davidson builds the V-Rod as a platform for drag-racing competition machines and is loosely based on the VR-1000 Superbike. The V-Rod uses an internally counterbalanced 60 degree V-twin engine.   You really must listen in as we go in-depth in this episode. If you've every wanted to know more about the Harley V-Rod then take a listen!   Useful Links: •http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Motorcycles/v-rod-muscle.html •https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley-Davidson_VRSC   Voicemail we played: (leave a voicemail) •Perry Churchill of Califormia left the message ◦ Referring to Law Abiding Biker Podcast Epsisode #41 ▪ Motorcycle Lane Splitting   New Patrons: •Yannick Lamontagne of Gatineau, Quebec •Gary Christian of NB (New Bruswick), Canada •Philip Sxajna of Tampa, FL   If you appreciate the content we put out and want to make sure it keeps on coming your way then become a Patron too!
