- A typical night ride through town on my 2020 Harley Davidson Forty-Eight. This video is just to enjoy the pure V-Twin engine sound only. My 48 is mostly stock, but does have Khrome Werks slip ons. Air intake is stock and there is no map...yet.
Enjoy the ride! ✌️
Night rides are something else man. It just clears your head so damn well, feels like there aint nothing to worry about. Doesnt matter if its a car or a bike.
That's it right there, it's on another level, but not in a crazy way.
Where I live, night riding scares the crap out of me because of deer
@@raoulduke3770 Yeah that could be a problem 😬I had some almost come out in front of me, but they darted back the way they came. 😅
Ya, right up to the moment you hit a fukking deer.
@@mt.rushmore7916 I cant say I have seen a deer in my city yet but sure.
Yes the best is when you take a nap around 3 to 5pm eat something and then it's about night time but u have nothing that has to be done and you just go for a little ride. It's so peaceful
Exactly 👍
And its little , cold breeze outside , and tommorow is sunday , thats even more better 😊

I rode home 2am one summer night. It was still and warm, no cars on the road. As I reached my place I had the urge to ride away and keep going till sunrise.
No lie, I watch this when I can’t sleep.
Same. 👊
I am doing so right now
how far have you come?
Was riding my 2016 forty eight home from work one day, car hit me. Left me with an artificial elbow and destroyed shoulder. Everyone tells me how lucky I am to be alive, but now I hurt all the time and can't do things I normally did before. I thought I'd shrug it off and be riding in no time. Little did I know how serious the damage was and here we are years later still unable to ride. I'd say I wasn't lucky at all. Be safe out there and enjoy the ride for those of us who can't anymore. Thanks for the video.
I’m sorry to hear that man, sounds like it has been one heck of an ordeal for you. We are risking it a bit out here. No matter how safe we are, we can’t control how people drive their cars. I’ll enjoy it while I can my friend. Take care and you’re welcome. 👊
All the best, hope the future brings progress with your injuries
@@WatermelonMotoHead The problem with motorcycle riding is that when a car driver makes a mistake you will get hurt. In a car you are much safer if anything happens.
You are not alone
Wish you all the best man . ❤
I like the fact that the exhaust Noise is not obnoxiously loud or at least that's how it feels. It just makes the right Volume.
Totally agree. Love a low rumble without the " hey everyone look at me" volume.
@@technicalthug I ride downtown often, if your bike is not loud in my city it will be under a taxi or other fairly quick..
@@technicalthug fair enough.. did you know some people like scratching chalkboards.. and some records.. to each their own.. what do you think of the beehives racing through traffic.. the ones that keep you up all night?
I’d take loud choppers over loud crotch rockets any day or night.. that’s just my opinion.. loud cars turnin left is pretty cool too.. but the cats in f1, not for me..
@@technicalthug thinking back on history you could compare a wla to the bagpipes, an instrument of war!
Imagine being a German hearing a Harley coming down the road..
loud original unrestricted pure sound of freedom!
That did strike fear into dictators and those “just following orders”..
Harley has a past and it makes me wonder if the motorcycle made noise for more reasons than just noise?
Maybe they are supposed to be offensive?
Like the bagpipes?
I like those as well haha
@@bmint bagpipes from baghdad
Never thought I’d watch a guy just ride his Harley and it actually make me wanna get one
Get a metric. You'll pay l alot ess for alot more.
@@stevencooley7193 no you won’t
@@basedWisco715 go buy a 96 goldwing, replace the oil battery and tires and ride 20k miles, replace tires and repeat. Buy a 96 fat boy, replace everything, ride for 409 miles replace motor, ride 1350 miles replace voltage regulator twice
@@stevencooley7193 I would rather actually go through your ridiculously exaggerated fat boy scenario than ride a goldwing 20k miles
I’ve owned and been on plenty of Japanese bikes. They’re reliable, but they have no soul and are boring to ride. Might as well buy a minivan at that point
@@basedWisco715its your money to throw away. However for the guy looking to invest money for something to actually ride then they should buy metrics
It is something about riding that no avid rider can truly understand. It's the wind in the face. The sound of the exhaust. The panoramic view you enjoyed along the way. The riding buddies you hangout with. The fumes. It's not the destination that counts. The ride itself is the destination 😉
This is the closest to riding in real life. Perfect camera placement and everything. Really cool man thank you
Thanks man I'm glad you enjoyed it. 👊
Had to sell my last bike about 6 years ago, been missing it ever since. Sometimes I'll just put these on in the background while I'm doing stuff. Oddly soothing. Thanks for having it be the sound of the bike only, much appreciated.
No problem man, maybe someday you'll have a bike again. 👍
As someone who prefers sport/ naked motorcyles, I have to say that this looks and sounds magnificent. I would love to at least try a Harley now. Great video!
I have a Speed Twin, but I do love this sporty man. Just to cruise it’s a fun ride.👊
try a buell 😊
@@hanswurst9437 Yes! really cool bikes indeed. I'm right now trying to sell my SV and get a Tuono 1000. It also has a big (altough not Harley big) vtwin.
Yupp I got an MT09 myself and I'd love one of these for a more chill relaxing ride.
Im the same way. But thinking of getting this bike as my next bike. I love the Harley engine sound and this bike looks so classic. I think these engines are getting phased out after this year and i dont like buying used so think im gonna pick it up this year.
Vision problems prevent me from riding at night, but the quality and sound of this video gave me a real sensation. Perfect experience while up chilling at 1:00AM.
I'm glad you were able to enjoy the feeling of riding at night again.
Ahhh, the memories. I had one like that about 1980. Such a well made bike.
Agreed. It’s a joy to ride. 👊
its crazy how one day when they have electric sportsbikes that can push insane numbers I'm gonna be talking about my day back in 06' when I had that yamaha R6 that would take care of BIDNESS!
@@soul_headshot Haha 👊
@@soul_headshot😂😂
No commentary, no music, just a nice bike and the riders view. So simple and effective.
👊
That yellow hue reflecting on the clutch cable. And how matching it is to the dash. It's a gorgeous bike man.
Yeah man, it is a nice view from here man thanks!
I felt an immense (good) envy! I would like to congratulate you on your driving style. If everyone were like you accidents would be reduced immensely and if they did happen they wouldn't be serious. This video was a great inspiration!
Thank you, I appreciate that. Sometimes there's no need to go fast and drive like a bat out of hell, lol.
13:13 cars rarely see bikes, he may have crashed if he was racing up front.
Ele me representa. Eu piloto milimetricamente idêntico a ele. 😎
I was never a fan of Harleys before but my Dad love his Softail Slim and Ultra. At one quiet night I took the Softail for a spin. Neither fast nor far, just around the city. I was hooked. Its the “go to when you’re bored and just want to go out for a ride” kind of bike
Exactly man, it is fun just to get out for a bit and not needing to go fast, just ride.
Thanks for the ride bro! Being a super sport rider myself, I keep on forgetting how soothing is just a chill ride around town. Ride safe man
You're welcome man, sport bikes seem fun, but yes a relaxing ride brings some peace to a rider. You ride safe as well. 👊
It's rides like this after working 10 hours is what had kept me away from troubles
I just bought a 2018 48 and will be picking it up on Tuesday. I'm so excited to give it a try. Watching videos like this have been a nice way to pass the time.
Congrats man, I know you will love it.
The Forty-Eight is so much fun to ride in the city, especially at night!
so peaceful going for a chill ride. no where to go, just plenty of time!
loved the audio too, no wind noise and hearing the gears clunk into place, and the subtle rumble of the exhaust as you cruise around.
How did you record the audio?
GoPro onboard audio with a foam cover.
@@WatermelonMotoHead wow that's some great sound quality! it sounded like you had a mic placed nice the exhaust and engine it was that crisp! bravo
@@TheShubbah ha and I’ve actually tried that, but just can’t seem to get it right or better than this.
Gears Clunk is right
@@WatermelonMotoHead foam cover like directly on the GoPro itself?
It was a pleasure to join you for this ride. Awesome bike, Mr!
Thank you for coming along and thanks!
This. These are the type of motorcycle videos we need more of!
I got my motorcycle license when i was 18, that was the goal for me, been dreaming of riding ever since i was a child. Now 22yrs later i rode everything from 125 dirt bikes over classic bikes to +200hp superbikes. On the racetrack, commuting, through the Moroccan dessert,...I've seen almost all of Europe on the back of an old Kawasaki 900 and even after +/- 1.5 million km's i'm still in love with bikes. I'm not a Harley fan, but that's completely besides the point, it's not about the bike, always about the experience. Tnx for sharing!
Me too 60 plus bikes later but deffo get a Harley one day and a Vespa 300 one day😉👍
You have had quite an experience riding different types of bikes, maybe one day I will be able to ride a few more. And you are right, it's about the experience. There is joy to be had in riding many different types of motorcycles.
Vespa!! 👊
Videos like these make me realise how much I miss having a bike. Beautifully shot with the crisp audio. Thanks
What happened to your bike and you're welcome.
@@WatermelonMotoHead I had to sell after Corona but I am now back in the market again, decisions decisions...
Oh I see, I'm glad to hear you're back in the market @@JW20236
Thank you for this video I don’t think I would be able to go to sleep without it ❤️
My bike has been in the shop for nearly 3 months, getting a new motor, with a stage 2 upgrade. It should be ready in a week or so. I can't wait to pick it up. This was a nice reminder of how much I love cruising through the city at night.
Yeah 3 months is a long time, I waited for almost 6 to get mine back because I was waiting on a part. 😆 Enjoy when you get it back! 👊
Thank you for not redlining it through every gear and revving the engine constantly like the local HD "enthusiasts" in my neck of the woods.
Haha of course man. 😆👍
I think part of why I've been so down the past few years (among other things) is not having a bike. I haven't really recreated how calming and mind-clearing riding can be, especially at night. Used to do beach night rides all the time, low and slow with the visor up so I can smell the sea. Damn
I hope you can get back to that soon man. It is sort meditative, especially at night.
My father just got a Harley and I’ll be able to get my motorcycle license very soon. I can’t wait for this. Just me, the road, and one fine Harley.
You and the open road, it is a great feeling. Good luck! 👊
I got my motorcycle license when I was 30 and I really wanted a Harley. Unfortunately those things are pretty expensive, so it ended up being a Yamaha MT09 - pretty much the opposite. I love the motorbike, it makes you want to go fast. Someday, I hope my dream will come true and I will buy a Harley. Nothing compares to this sound and coolness!
Your first bike was a mt09 ?
@@alexv5581 Yes
The sound does it for me too, but any motorbike is fun to ride. Hoping you get that Harley one day.
Very peaceful, relaxing ride. I can't afford a Harley but I understand that there's just nothing like the feel and sound.
Agreed 👊
Bro save your money. Im a honda guy but im telling you, ANY motorcycle is worth saving up for. Theres nothing like riding a motorcycle.
@@ConservativeCalifornian1032 Yeah, I'm thinking a Harley might be something further down the road for me. I'm looking at cruisers in 800cc to 1100 range. Boulevard, Shadow, V Star, Vulcan etc. Prices are crazy at the dealerships, I'm not confident enough to buy something cheaper from a stranger. I'm in limbo. Hehehe!
@@i94yeh2p well there are plenty of other good motorcycles on the market. Maybe even a honda vtx. Theyre pretty cheap and theres also an 1800 model.
@@i94yeh2p consider Indian scout bobber, I want to get one
lately i've been considering getting a motorcycle, i'm very much into cars but i've never thought so much about motorcycles. just the idea of doing things like this riding solo seems so enjoyable
That's what got me into riding motorcycles lol. It is relaxing and enjoyable to just get on and go for a ride. Shifting of gears and the sounds of the bike make it quite the experience.
17, About to start my driving lesson on a stick, But still having a bike is my dream but mom won’t let me since we lost 4 known ones, 2 on bikes and 2 on motorcycles. I still ride my fully upgraded electric bike thinking it’s a motorcycle. So I enjoy these kind of videos! Thank u very much ❤️
I can understand your mom's perspective on that one, but maybe one day it'll happen for you. I want an electric bike!! Seems like another fun way to get around. I'm glad you are getting some enjoyment out of these videos, you're welcome man. 👊
@@WatermelonMotoHead Thank you Man! Yeah Electric bikes are fun inside the city! Stay safe and ride safe man!
Thanks for not being loud. I live down the street from a Harley dealership that frequently hosts events. They always let out late at night and almost all the riders have no consideration for how loudly they drive and how late it is.
Let's appreciate this guy to make our day peaceful for riding on his harley davidson
🙏
This took me back to some good memories, felt like I was back riding through my old college town. Thanks bud
I'm glad it brought back some good memories man. ✌️
It’s the noise the noise music to my ears I could listen to a Harley all night long👏🇬🇧
It does have a soothing sound to it at some point. 👍
Wow! Very nice video. Seems like riding a Harley is like a therapy ^^ usually I like riding very fast, but seeing this video makes me feel like to buy a Harley for the next season :D
Thanks and yes it’s a great bike for a chill ride. No need or reason to rush, just ride. If you get one, let me know. 👍👊
@@WatermelonMotoHead yeah of course!👍🏻
I feel the same. I have Kawi Zx11 and I’m tired of fast riding.
Jungs ich kann es euch nur bestätigen. Ich bin von einer CBR auf die HD 48 umgestiegen. Es ist ein komplett neues Lebensgefühl.
@@michaelerwinkling2509 wie findest du den Umstieg von ner Supersportler auf ne Harley? Vermisst du die Leistung?
I just sold my MT07. I just play this video just for the sound. I just imagine being on the road. Miss riding so much . Ride safe always.
Will you get another bike? Why did you sell? Yeah I use my own videos sometimes as I fall asleep.
@@WatermelonMotoHead just needed the money. yes will definitely get one when I can. Ridin is one thing that keeps me goin. I think after seeing ur video I would love to get the Harley or it's gonna be an MT10. Thanks for the reply.
@@capdink man that’s a bummer, but we do what we gotta do right? Either one will be fun riding, just different. Good luck man.
@@WatermelonMotoHead thanks buddy. Ya gotta do wat we gotta do. Keep ridin safe and posting them rides.
Aahh... This is so relaxing the sound of the bike, and imgine you drive that in the night.
It’s so nice to ride at night. Also, it’s hot af here in the summer so night is best when the day is over 100 F.
@@WatermelonMotoHead damn thats hot
for some reason watching this relaxes me ALOT wish i had a bike and didnt have tourettes i would ride everyday if i could this just looks like fun
I'm glad it helps you 👍
Bro, I love a good night cruise around the city with no where in particular to go. Ride safe brother.
Yeah man no place to really go other than being on the road.
@@WatermelonMotoHead I've been riding around with a destination in mind lately. Maybe I should give this cruising style a try, get on the road and just see where it goes. Hopefully there's a diner with hot coffee and pancakes at the end.
i Love old motorcycles like this like just the sound of it!
Same 👊
Can tell that you are a cautious and smart rider.
Watching you move in and out of blocking position vs. responsive position is wonderful. I feel like i want to commentate to my gf about how motorcycles aren't chaos with this ride as an example of control in an uncontrolled area.
Haha, let me know how that goes...
The video was really therapeutic..and quality was 💯..thanks for puttin it out here🤘🔥
Thanks man 👊
proud owner of HD 48 and triumph R3GT. Love from Beijing. May everyone find peace in his or her loved things.
Right on man. I also have a Triumph Speed Twin. 🙃
Exactly how it should be done . An enthusiast only wants to hear the engine and the gear changes , not anything else .
Jesus, the audio quality of just pure engine without wind noise is just perfect
Thanks 🙏
Excellent video. I watched this as an instructional video because I am just starting to learn to ride. I bought a 2003 HD ultra classic touring bike, much bigger and heaver. Thank you very much for your video.
Congratulations man! Enjoy the ride and be safe out there. 👊
There's something calming about a night ride on a motorcycle. Love riding mine when its dark.
It hits different for sure. 👍
Watching in Brazil. I love my Suzuki Boulevard, but this Harley sound is very nice. Congratulations!
Brazil 🇧🇷! As long as we can ride we’re doing well. Thanks and enjoy your bike! 👊
Man that is music for my ears and soul thanks I use to have an 1977 Sporster XL and then an 1989 Sporster 883 and I ride them until a lost my left leg Nice to hear that rumble ,
Sorry to hear that man, but I'm glad you got a little something out of the video. You had some good bikes there.
Man I miss having a motorcycle so badly. Most fun I’ve ever had in my life.
Unfortunately living in snowy, cold ass colorado, it spent more time covered up than it was worth, so I sold it. I’ve wanted to move to phoenix or texas somewhere so I could ride year round.
Ah man sorry to hear that, I don’t really like the cold and don’t mind the heat much so this is the place for me. And we pretty much can ride all year round 🙌
Yeah the summers aren't too bad here in Phoenix. Wearing full gear in the middle of a summer day is a chore though.
Why i love motorcycles, nothing crazy or extreme just the nice peaceful ride and being able to relax
Yeah man, just like that.
Pas besoin de rouler comme un dingue pour prendre du plaisir..
Magnifique moto j'adore !
Tellement vrai !
You don’t have to say anything… this video is perfect, it’s so peaceful and relaxing, bro 😎
Wow! This looks so incredible! This is it, I'm buying a motorcycle after the war.
Good luck to you! 🙏
Dude, nothing makes me feel so exhilarated yet so calm as a nighttime bike ride (or just a ride in general 😂). Whether I'm blazin or cruisin, my mind is completely at ease. It's winter now so I can't go out no more but you can bet your ass Imna be peepin out more of these videos. Thanks man
Yeah can't agree more, calm or blazing it's all good fun. Can't beat it. Enjoy my man! 👊
@@WatermelonMotoHead Fuck yeah man 👊 Will do
El sonido de ese motor es relajante y adictivo, buen video, saludos de ciudad de México

For some reason I’m enjoying this more than the songs today
I'm glad you enjoyed it. 👊
beautiful. i have a 96 sporster with the 1200 motor on it, but your ride sounds more amazing than my loud thing. would love to see more!
96 is cool man 🙌 and there is more for you to check out.
When I was younger I used to be obsessed about motorcycles, this video reminded me why.
Glad it brought back some memories.
congrats man, its a beatiful bike, hope to get one someday, greetings from Argentina!! un abrazo
Thanks man, it is a nice bike. Hopefully soon you will have one. 🇦🇷👊
I grew up on the back of my brothers bike..night rides with just the two of us were the best. During the day it was mostly with his "biker brothers " A whole bunch of dudes who wore the same vest. 🤣 I was only 11 when he ended up with his little sister and we were buddies until the day he passed at 60. I'm 6 years younger than him. I miss Marvin so much..that hoodlum. ❤❤❤❤❤
Seems like you have some good memories.
Some day...
Plugging my earphones and just watching this loved it
I use this to go to sleep. I'm between motorcycles at the moment. 😁
Haha right on man. I do the same to motorcycle videos. 👊👍😂
What did you have and now looking at getting?
@@WatermelonMotoHead I had an 09 883 Iron that was punched out to 1275 with a Hammer conversion. It was wicked LOL. Ex wife took it in the divorce. 😐 currently looking for a Sportster 48, to put some 16 inch apes and white wall tires on. 😎 Soon....
@@John-mg7fb dang sorry about that, but there will be a next one. 👍
That's funny...puts me to sleep, as well!
I love crusing late night so peaceful and no traffic.
It is very relaxing.
Why is this so relaxing to listen to??? Its 11pm right now and I am feeling very relaxed. Although this also makes me want to hop on my 2014 Harley Street Glide Special right now and go for a summer night drive. Nice vid! What camera are you using for this?
Ha, I get you man...I've used this to fall asleep before on a few occasions and it has also prompted me to go out and ride, lol. Thanks, I'm glad you got something out of it. I use a GoPro 8.
very therapeutic. IT'S A GOOD ESCAPE especially when you're stuck in the office.
Glad it helped you pass some time. 👊
Very relaxing, the burbles on down shift, and drone of the v twin at highway speed are hypnotic, like those "10 hours of thunderstorm" videos, or "slow TV", where great train journeys are shown start to end unedited. Very enjoyable.
Curious as to how you record sound, and where you place your mic? And what camera you're using? Very little wind noise and the camera deals with night riding pretty well.
Thanks man glad you enjoyed it. I use a GoPro 8 with the onboard audio and a foam cover to block out the wind.
@@WatermelonMotoHead So just a GP8 and a windsock. Doesn't get any easier than that. 👍
@@space.youtube exactly, I tried a mic near the exhaust and a few other things. Those never came out better than this or easier. 😉
and how do you mount it?
@@mikebelmont5919 I put expoxy on the chin of the helmet and stuck a GoPro mount to it. It's cheap and effective. Something I saw from Yammie Noob. 🤪
I have just a Suzuki GZ-150A, and I really like to just enjoy the ride, nothing of high speed.
Love the sound of that Harley engine
Sometimes that's all you need, just a nice chill ride. 👊

These types of rides are the ones you feel you could keep going for hours... the machine is just toying with that route.

Over a million views of a guy doing nothing but chill cruising at night - did you ever expect that? a testament to the Harley vibe. I have an 06 Sporster 1200 and I get it - it’s like riding a big cat purring contentedly. Healing to the soul. No need to ride fast.
Ha, actually no. Didn't think that many people would care to enjoy it. Just thought I'd start posting my rides so that I could enjoy them whenever I wanted to hear the engine sound. Riding fast can be fun, but relaxing ride is very soothing.
