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! ✌️

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!

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.

@@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.

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!
