Title: Howdy from Australia
Post by: ppmurf on April 23, 2014, 05:56:07 AM
Hey Guys - spoken to a few of you before!
A pleasure!

I have finally joined the club - will hopefully be the first Australian member (there is one in a museum in Australia).
Just negotiated the purchase of a 1945 simplex registered with title in CA. Also comes with a spare engine!

It will be shipped to Australia in May/June - hope to be riding very soon.

Will post pics when my cash clears! Happy days!

Congratulations on the purchase .
Do you have bike pics you could post?

Maybe you should wait until July . Pick up the bike yourself and continue on to the Portland meet . You need a getaway , right ? :D

As much as I'd love a trip to the USA just spent that airfare money in shipping and import fees. LOL

PD pics and VIN when payment clears.

Cheers !

Hi ppmurf,
Congratulations on your Simplex.
Hope it will run there being bottom side up and all.
Just kidding; I have always wanted to visit Australia.
Such a beautiful place.
When you post the pictures of your Simplex include a few shots of home too.
Cheers
Stafford
