Law Abiding Biker | Street Biker Motorcycle Podcast

In this podcast episode, we discus the newly released 2026 Indian Chief Vintage.  The Chief Vintage leans hard into that classic 1940s-inspired styling with sweeping valanced fenders, wire wheels, wide bars, and that unmistakable Indian silhouette that screams heritage. It's got the nostalgic look riders love—lots of chrome, iconic badging, and vintage vibes—but this isn't some museum piece. It's built to be ridden.

Underneath that timeless styling, you've got the Thunderstroke 116 V-Twin, and that means torque for days. This thing is made for rolling on the throttle and feeling that deep, low-end pull whether you're cruising Main Street or stretching it out on the highway. Indian didn't ignore modern tech either. With ride modes like Tour, Standard, and Sport, plus a Ride Command display with navigation and smartphone connectivity, you're getting a solid mix of classic style and 21st-century convenience. It's the kind of setup that gives you the best of both worlds.

And let's be real—half the fun is making it your own. Indian offers a range of accessories so you can dial it in for long-haul comfort or keep it stripped-down and clean. Windshields, saddlebags, passenger setups—it's all there. The 2026 Chief Vintage feels like Indian saying, "We know where we came from, and we're proud of it," while still delivering the performance and reliability today's riders expect. If you love heritage, but you also love actually riding your motorcycle, this one's worth a serious look.

In this episode, we're joined by Patron Member Michael Nielsen.  Michael is a serious rider who lays down a ton of miles every year.  This year Michael is taking on the 2026 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge.  The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge is a long-distance endurance ride designed to test a rider's planning, focus, and mental toughness more than outright speed. Rather than being a traditional race, the challenge centers on navigating a defined route while completing required checkpoints, documentation, and time-based objectives. Riders must balance efficient routing, smart time management, and personal stamina to successfully complete the challenge within the rules.
SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE
What sets the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge apart is its emphasis on rider discipline and self-reliance. Participants are responsible for following the prescribed guidelines and safely managing fatigue.  The event rewards preparation and consistency—things like knowing your bike, planning fuel stops, and adapting to changing weather or traffic conditions can make or break a successful run.

At its core, the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge celebrates the spirit of endurance motorcycling. It attracts riders who enjoy pushing themselves, not just their machines, while experiencing one of the most iconic stretches of road in the U.S. Whether taken on as a personal achievement or a competitive benchmark against other riders' times and strategies, the challenge has earned a reputation as a true test of commitment, skill, and mindset on two wheels.
The Hoka Hey organizers encourage riders to fundraise for charities.  Michael is fundraising for Mile Monsters who support young boys battling Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

Fresh off Harley-Davidson's Chapter 2 launch, the 2026 Harley-Davidson lineup brings far more substance than the polished reveal video suggests. The biggest win is clarity: all Grand American Touring models now share the redesigned fairings, eliminating past confusion between Limited and non-Limited bikes and simplifying aftermarket compatibility. Officially revealed models include updated Street Glide and Road Glide Limiteds, multiple CVO touring variants, new trikes, and the Pan America 1250 Limited—giving consumers a clearer, more cohesive range to shop from.
SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE
The Street Glide Limited emerges as a true factory-built Ultra-style tourer, complete with a redesigned batwing fairing, LED lower fairing lights, a new Grand Tour Pack with integrated lighting, taller windshield, and the Milwaukee-Eight 117 VVT motor. The Road Glide Limited mirrors this formula with shark-nose styling. Harley also deserves credit for finally treating chrome and black trim equally, offering the same color choices regardless of finish. In the CVO lineup, engines remain familiar (117 VVT for Limiteds, 121 VVT for CVOs), but styling steps up—especially with the long-awaited CVO Street Glide ST, a batwing performance bagger packed with race-inspired components and serious hardware.

Beyond touring, Harley expanded its reach with the Pan America 1250 Limited, aimed squarely at long-distance adventure riders, and significantly improved trikes with dramatically increased rear suspension travel for better ride quality. Missing, however, are the Road King, Bronx, and any true entry-level model, while the Street Glide Ultra appears to be a one-year-only bike—creating opportunities for deals on remaining inventory. Add in the limited-run Liberty Edition models celebrating America's 250th anniversary, and the 2026 lineup stands as one of Harley-Davidson's strongest, most focused releases in years, balancing refinement, performance, and clearer choices for buyers.
