There you go, getting 'er done on the classic steel!

I took both of mine out for really nice rides this past week. Reminded me just how good they are compared to many of my other rides.

25 fun-filled miles on this 1989 Antares.

A little over 50 smooth fast miles on this one too. Never have nailed down the year but should be 96-97.
