Minimal editing here - mostly just Motorcycle ASMR. My son came to visit in early July 2024, and we took a 3 day trip out to Mt Washington, with my 2022 RE Himalayan and his 2006 Honda Shadow 750 Aero. This video showcases the ride up and down the mountain, as the tall trees give way to ever-shorter trees to shrubs, to other-worldly landscape towards the summit. From 80 degree summer heat at the bottom to 40 degrees at the top with high winds and low visibility.

The views were spectacular. Everybody always says ""the camera does not portray how steep it really is"" and this is no exception. Descending the mountain in 2nd gear would still increase speed even with engine braking.

The camera was plugged into the USB power supply, but the disappointing part was that the power supply had been disconnected from the battery to save the bike's battery. I forgot to check this, and I always check this. Too excited, I guess. Anyway the battery lasted long enough to get all the way up the mountain, and almost all the way down. Anybody wondering what the experience would be like, will get an excellent sense by this video.
