Title: Simplex Scooter on eBay
Post by: Ricks on January 03, 2014, 08:20:52 AM: Someone got a good deal on a scooter on eBay. The final price was $838. The scooter did not run, but looked like it was very complete. I should have bid more!

The bike on the left is an "H", rocker clutch that I did a ground up restoration in the early seventies; that's when parts were found in Hemmings and information whereever one could find it. It's a long story, but the bike was stolen from me and I know who took it and I think I know where it is now but it would cost a fortune to recover it. It was a partner-ship deal and the partner took the bike. Word of mouth agreement, so no way to prove anything.

Will
