New Cape Cod Vlogger Here

[RealSteveB]

Hey guys hey,
Just uploaded my first moto vlog yesterday. Finally getting in on this deal. I've been collecting cameras and gear for years, recorded content and bought the software but never put it all together. Finally did it. I'm RealSteveB on YouTube and Real_Steve_B on Instgram, no twitter for me, least not yet.

My main bike is my 03 R6 I've named the Black Wasp. It's the bike I've wanted ever since it came out when I was in high school. Finally got it last spring. My fiancé rides a 2015 Ninja 650, I take that one out sometimes as well. We also have a 72 CB 350 we rebuilt in 2015, learned to ride on it. I still take it out from time to time because it's nice to ride hard, harder to kill myself on that compared to the R6.

I use Contour cameras and Powerdirector 14(I think 14). I also have a Canon camcorder and of course my phone, a HTC 10. I have external mics for all of them- minus my phone. Finally got the Contours mics to work this weekend.

Hopefully I can learn some stuff from you guys, maybe even share some of my own knowledge.

Hi Steve, sounds like you have some cool bikes there!

Stick a pic up of them when you are able, be ace to see the CB350

 

[RealSteveB]

Here is my stable of bikes. The CB350, we repainted in our driveway, kept the original design but changed the colors to more our style. I'll add more and better pics when I can get to my computer. At work right now, waiting for my work to roll in.

My R6, The Black Wasp in its current state. She was knocked over in the driveway couple weeks ago by my lovely Fiance who had to pee really bad and didn't see it. It was midnight, I'll give her that but still. She finally got to use the pushbar on her Jeep. I Had to replace the handlebars, got new Woodcraft clipons. New mirrors, these ones have blinkers in them-old hags here on cape can't see the flush mount leds on the fairings. Fairings got scraped up, just some fiberglass repair and paint/sharpie to cover some of the battle wounds. Olson exhaust sounds mint.

Where on the Cape? I used to be up there a number of times in the summer. Always loved clamming in Barnstable Harbor on the sand bar.

I live in South Dennis. Been here for almost 10 years now. If you come down on a Thursday night during the summer there's a nice bike night at Moto Pizza in Sandwich.

Love the bikes. Especially that CB every thought of turning it into a cafe racer/rat bike?

I've thought about it, but it was my Dad's first bike, and now our first bike. So besides changing the color, I think I'm gonna keep it stock. I have a 65 BMW R60 in the driveway now also, that's a major project bike. Needs a complete teardown, so I might make that a vintage racer since the lights and gauges are crazy expensive.
I'd love to build a Cafe Racer from like a cb450 or the Yamaha equivalent. 2 cylinders to keep the cost and carb problems to a minimum. My Lil 10X10 shed is full though lol. Next house in a couple years. Luckily I have the future wife's approval already

Welcome to the forum. I like the CB350. I was around in the 70's, and always wanted a CB350. I ended up getting a new CB750 Four in 1975 when I lived in New York. I ended up moving to Texas on it in 1976. Rode it to Texas in February, froze my ass off! Today I own a 72 CB750 Four. I bought it from a neighbor a few houses down, for $150. It had sat in his garage for 17 years. I pushed it home, and rode it past his house that night. I cleaned the carbs, put a battery in it, hit the starter button, and it fired right up. Here is what it looked like when I first got it. Right now it is all torn apart in the garage, awaiting a full restoration.

That's awesome. My dad has a cb750 as well, and it's been in the shed since I was born in 87. I'm trying to convince him to let me take it. I just really want to fix it and give it back so we can ride together some day.
