Greetings from the D.

Greetings from Detroit, Michigan! [and a small portion of Southeastern Michigan]
Glad to have found this site, interesting to see "Motovlog" end up being a forum group - which is probably the best possible option to use the name.

Been riding for about 3 1/2 years now, thoroughly enjoy it.​

I go by "onemeaningsome" on most social pages, and haven't really started to "vlog" as you would normally assume.
I tend to just ride, shoot photos and video along my journeys. My YouTube channel is mostly adventures, with music background - but I'm leaning towards vlogging (given I can finally get the audio how I want it!).

Looking forward to sifting through some of the forums and get a better lay of the land.

Thanks for the welcomes and I shall post both of them! (actually I wasn't fully sure of what the rules were for certain things - still trying to wrap my head around the posting of videos or links, even. 5 posts in 7 days, overall or continually. It's a fuzzy line!

2012 Cleveland Cyclewerks Heist (hardtail/bobber/cruiser style) and 2013 Cleveland Cyclewerks Ace (standard/café/tracker style).

Awesome bikes mate, love the chop!
As for the rules, to be allowed to post videos, you need to be an active contributor to the discussions, and hopefully even start your own topics for others to take part in!

Thank you for saying so... hah, almost everyone *always* comments when I ride around on the hardtail. I think everyone assumes the standard is just an old school 70's/80's standard.
As for the posting/video rules - cool, it seems not as strict when said like that. I'll shuffle around about for a bit, and if we're all lucky - I won't chime in.
I'll probably start some topics or dive in to comment where others may have had the same ideas/thoughts/notions to post about.

(Actually - quick question, I can't seem to find an answer about yet - how to change profile/member pic...? Not sure if it's a time/posting allowance thing or not.

The O isn't bad for the moment, but I do have something I'd rather use​

Hmm, no dice. Thought maybe my ad-blocker was conflicting, turned it off, but same results - nothing to change/shows anything to indicate changing it. Weird. I'll figure it out sooner or later. Thanks HippoDrone for letting me know the proper way, though!

Pretty cool that you have two Cleveland Cyclewerks bikes. How did you find out and end up with them?

For those that don't know, they are a smallish manufacturer filling a segment the big boys neglect - so good for them!

 

[WheelyPerd]

Dude I've never even heard of those before, look damn cool. Why'd you get 2 (apart from them being cool)?

Theodor, sadly it does not. Otherwise, I'd not have mentioned it. Thanks, though.

One day, many years ago, I saw the Heist (a little after they started making them) - and from that point, I knew I wanted to learn how to ride, and to get one. Mostly because the look, but also - because they weren't any of the usual big players.
The Heist was a great starting point, but I grew to need more quickly. Instead of being smart, I came across a deal to end up with the Ace (orange standard) and customized some of it and brought it home. I regret having two of these bikes, but can't fault the first purchase, as it got me into motorcycling.
There are a small handful of folks who know about them, glad to see you recognize them.

WheelyPerd, they do look damn cool, indeed. Are they - eh, sort of. They are a motorcycle, so they've got that going for them. And two, was kind of accidental/poor decisions? Ha.!
The two different styles, is probably why I ended up with a second. I love both looks, and I already knew how to work on the second, from time with the first (little over a year+ having the Heist, picked up the Ace).
