Harley Davidson 48 Night Ride 2 | Pure Engine Sound Only

Riding my 2020 Harley Davidson Sportster 48 with a TBR 2 into 1 Exhaust through town on a Sunday night with no particular destination in mind, but ended up at a Dutch Bros. ☕️😋
I am using a GoPro 8 mounted on the chin and the onboard audio to capture the sound with a foam cover.
Bike mods are minimal, but include a Stage 1 with a Two Brothers Racing Exhaust 2 into 1 with an Arlen Ness Monster Sucker Air Intake. I also have a LaPera Stubs Spoiler Seat to cushion the ride a bit.
I get asked about the gloves, they are LeeParks DeerTours. 🦌🧤
This is a POV motorcycle ride for the pure joy of riding and exhaust sound, nothing more, nothing less. A little acceleration here and there, but nothing crazy, it's a more on the chill side.
Any questions...feel free to ask.
Enjoy the ride! ✌️

@@WatermelonMotoHead Hi, Do you strap your camera on your chin or your chest mount?

[@IndyMotoRider]

I work a 12 hour shift, 7pm-7am. The second half of the shift I'm sitting in gatehouse monitoring security systems. Videos like this are perfect for passing the time. Subbed.

Thanks, glad I could help you during the long shift.

[@shutie2065]

Here in Japan, there's no such a open wide road as one in this video. I have started my ride life two months ago with my GB350 and dreamed I could feel like I was all alone with my bike. Your vids gives me the feeling of such. good exhaust sound, driving nowhere relaxed, without any special preparation... That's all we need! Thanks for the video!

[@WatermelonMotoHead]

You are very welcome. I would love to visit Japan someday, but probably not to ride a motorcycle. 🙃

[@Bobb1to]

Japan have better roads to be fair, many more turns. Straight lines on a motorcycle are slightly boring...

[@TheGabmanz]

There are a bunch of great roads in Japan, for exemple Tokyo-->shizuoka->mont Fuji last parking ;) Even Tokyo-->zoom zoom Stadium in Shiba is nice ;)

[@thefueltap]

I'm so happy that I've just found your channel, these raw videos are my absolute favourite, especially the night rides. You've captured the atmosphere incredibly. Serious high level video and sound, I'm completely stunned at the video quality in the dark of night. I have a GoPro Hero 8 too, but your work here is truly impressive. Please, for all our sakes; keep doing you man.

My dream bike. Passed my test maby 7 months ago with intention of getting a 48. Just a bit out of my budget at the moment with having a kid and buying a house but one day! Got a VFR 800 for my 1st bike from a friend at work for a bargain so, will learn the ropes on that and save up for this beauty. Love the vids dude, keep them coming 🤘

[@WatermelonMotoHead]

Congrats man, it's a great feeling to be on the open road. Any bike can be fun, but I wish you well on getting your dream bike. 👊

[@thomasrodriguez1931]

I used to ride at night a lot when I first got my bike, but there is too much risk in my city to enjoy my ride. It's more stressful than relaxing. But these videos are nice, puts me back in the seat without the risk. Stay safe at there brother, 2 down and thanks for the content.

[@WatermelonMotoHead]

No problem man, yeah it isn't a super big town so there's room to ride here.

[@pas0003]

I love videos like these! No crazy, idiotic riding. No music. Just pleasant, chill riding with excellent audio and video quality. I don't like Harleys because of the image, but videos like these make me dislike them just a little less! And then there are exceptions like yourself and a few others I've met, who are not interested in being as loud and obnoxious as possible!

[@WatermelonMotoHead]

These types of video can be relaxing and I'm glad you enjoyed it. There's plenty to enjoy without twisting the throttle like crazy.

[@mojomanmurph1925]

I used to hate the sound of the exhausts until I bought one, then it just hits you to change your exhaust and then I loved the sound. Hits a lot of folks the same especially women. Go figure.

[@DrewsR6]

The audio and vibe is so spot on, great work!

[@WatermelonMotoHead]

Yeah I didn't think I was gonna like it, but it turns out to work with the bike really well like you said.

[@billybong5139]

You need more night ride content 🔥🔥

[@WatermelonMotoHead]

I guess I do!👍 What is it about the night ride?🤔

[@gpaje]

@@WatermelonMotoHead It just focuses you, the lights and sections are highlighted and simplifies what you see. And at least for me, enhances my ride. Plus open air at night is just enjoyable, like a convertible driving a night, magic. Though keep in mind it increases the dangers of riding as you can't see as much. Good strong headlights is a must, if you have a weak headlight, I would run your highbeam. Likely still not as strong as your modern car LED headlights.

[@WatermelonMotoHead]

@@gpaje I guess so, it is a different vibe. More relaxing, albeit a bit more dangerous like you said.

Thanks and also thanks for the advice. I stay in gear for safety reasons. I don't want to be rear ended by a distracted driver so I'm ready to move if need be. I've been rear in ended in my car before (twice) by distracted drivers. This could be really bad on a bike.
