1935 Velvet deLuxe
I love riding this machine and honking my horn.
Fun like kid stuff.

1951/2' Monark Tanker. This bike tends to be problematic. Axle & nuts will loosen then move in the 50's drops alot throwing the shifting out. Broke another rear spoke at the flange, and had to loosen/tighten surrounding ones before limping home. Picked this up in 1978 for $20 at a Minnesota farm auction missing only its' wheels. Kept the original parts of course.... About 32mi. Empty pavement on a Monday...

I hadn’t felt up to riding in a while since I was in an accident in December but today I took the old Black Phantom out for a ride to the Animal Shelter where I like to volunteer. It wasn’t very far but I’m feeling it in my legs. Haha. This was its first ride since I got some NOS Typhoon tires for it.
