Harley Davidson 48 Morning Ride | Pure Engine Sound

[@derproberaumfahrer3880]

Nice vid, thanks. I ride a 1200 Sportster, too. Here in Germany, when it´s winter, it´s too wet and cold to ride, so I created my own POV vids to somehow enjoy my ride in these dark months. I feel you :)

[@WatermelonMotoHead]

Ha yeah man it’s nice relive rides when we are not riding. I live in AZ and my high today is 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Great now, but really hot in the summer.

I love the driving style and sense of defensive driving apparent since the first intersection. Some drivers just rush into an intersection and then they look, react, break. Meanwhile this guy here stays back, looks twice and then quickly leaves. Perfect example.

Really nice videos man. Great video quality & sound with the right point of view. Subbed! I’m thinking of going to the U.S and rent a Harley and ride some over there later, when the winter hits here. Instead of waiting 6 months to ride mine lol. Can you recommend Tucson or any other place/state for that matter in the U.S to ride during the winter months? That aren’t too busy with the traffic jams. And that has some twisties not too far away. Great to see that old Volvo 240 aswell over there👍🏻 Greetings from Sweden🇸🇪

[@WatermelonMotoHead]

Thanks man, appreciate it. 🙏 Tucson is nice during the winter, but not a lot of twisties here at all. The traffic isn't bad though. It has it's plus and minuses. I hear California is pretty good. I'd love to ride the coast on a bike, maybe someday. They have some good twisties there too. I've heard San Diego and northern Cali are pretty good as well.

[@antoniovera667]

Am I wrong or you don’t put the neutral gear when you stop at traffic lights?

[@WatermelonMotoHead]

No you are correct, I don’t for safety reasons. I’ve been rear ended in my car by distracted drivers at least twice and avoided two by swerving away when I was ready to roll. If that happens when I’m on the bike I’ll most likely be dead or severely injured. I’m always watching my mirrors and from what I understand it being a wet clutch will not wear out like the clutch in a car for a long time. Even if it did, I value my life more than the clutch. That’s a good simple question and a long explanation.😅

[@antoniovera667]

@@WatermelonMotoHead hehe, a reasonable answer; I put neutral engine just to rest my left hand and arm, but It’s totally understandable that you do it for the reasons you explained to me. I really like your ride videos. Cheers from Chile🇨🇱

[@Ghostsoulless]

Was gonna ask what mirrors those are, but if they’re stock that’ll make them harder to find. Can’t use bar-end ones on mine without swapping the bar entirely, so something like that two-piece clamp on the inside of the grips would be perfect.

Man that's a tough question because I honestly don't have much experience with other exhausts. I had some slip ons from Krome Werks before I put these on. I prefer the lower, deeper sound as opposed to the higher pitched Vance & Hines sound though. If I recall, Bassani makes some good sounding pipes too.
