Description

PODCAST-Podcast listener line is (509) 731-3548. You can also leave a voicemail right from your computer at http://www.lawabidingbiker.com/voicemail. Thanks to all that have called in an become involved with the law abiding biker community! We get into the recent hot subject of Tiered Motorcycle Licensing. Tiered licensing is when a State decides that they will issue several different classes of motorcycle licenses to a rider. The class of license you will receive is solely the amount off CC's your motor is when you take the skills test. For example, if you were to pass on a 250cc you would not be able to ride anything bigger unless you came in on a bigger cc motorcycle and passed the skills test. There is usually an "unlimited class" for say example, anything over 750 cc. This has been implemented differently in different states over time. The fact of the matter is that many states have abandoned the old tired licensing program, because over time there was no hard evidence or statistics that this program somehow reduced motorcycle collisions. We disagree with tiered motorcycle licensing all together and with good reason. You will have to listen in to find out the facts of the matter. The issue recently heated back up when the State of Illinois decided they may implement it based on recent statistics that their motorcycle fatality collisions are on the rise. I live in Washington State and many years ago we had tiered licensing, but eventually got rid of it. There is no hard evidence New Affiliate We have a new affiliate with B&H Photo Video.

Tom Henderson of White River Junction, Vermont You seem to explain things real well, I have a 2014 limited with the Hd street cannons , stage 1 download and Ventilator Air. I get a lot of decal popping when down shifting in third and second gear about 1850 to 2300 in rpms, I have had the deal check for leaks and they could not find any, I also used copper silicone and still pops. I see you changed your pipes and was wondering if you had the same issue. The dealer says this is a normal condition , other tell me to buy
