Just thought I'd touch base and say hello!

Bike still garaged here in Australia.
Life's got in the way of enjoying it at present.
But I figure I am an owner for life!

Hope everyones well!

Stafford the gentleman I purchased from sent manuals and receipts - he had purchased parts from Wayne.
He had handwritten notes and email exchanges - everything included. I had 3 Skype face to face calls before he agreed to sell it to Australia.

Now I just have to fire it up!

Thanks - My daughter has grown up with my auto habits.

I have a few cars - she calls my 65 gt fastback - HERS.
She hates my vintage porsche too loud.

But she jumped on this bike.
Hopefully tomorrow I can crank her over and get a ride.

Thanks for the positive responses.

Who's got a 47/8 model with title for sale? LOL

OK - here it is! All the way from the USA to AU.
Arrived late today - next few days are wet.
So it will be Saturday arvo before I give it a clean and a ride.

I've not ridden a simplex before so will have to read the manual on " Dummies guide to starting and riding a simplex" LOL

Stafford - I was told it loaded last week - I estimate a month or so.
Not nervous most days I forget I bought it. LOL

But pics and vid of first ride to come July fingers crossed.

So ppmurf,
Any word on the Simplex yet, or do you have an arrival date?
Had a Messerschmitt shipped from the UK once.
I didn't sleep for a month.
Let us know when it arrives and get someone to take a couple of pictures of the baby's arrival.
Cheers
Stafford

Thanks guys. Appreciate the comments.

Spare engine - hmm I know of a frame here in AU.
I will contact the owner see if he wants a build.
I am broke by the time it lands - LOL.
But I did give it a second thought.

Another Simplex in Australia = Awesome.

Is Brian a member here?

Ok gents,

Now that the bike has arrived at my shipping company - and is official mine.
It will soon start the journey over the pond.
Very happy to have this on its way.

Bought from a great guy in LA a 45 Simplex.
Came with 4 original 2 tyres - 2 nos and a spare engine.

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 !

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!

Welcome to the group.  Post a picture if you can.  Is it an early bike (pre '49) or a late model?  Does it have a frame number?

It's cool that we're starting to see some international survivors.  Do we have any bikes in other countries besides Spain & Australia?

Hey Gents,

I've come across a rolling frame out in Australia.

Missing engine. I thought it might be a good restoration project.

Anyone got an engine and transmission for sale? in good working order?

I've only seen 1 simplex in a museum here in Australia - would love to be an owner.

Cheers ppmurf

Buy, Sell, Trade / WTB - Simplex Servi Cycle Automatic
« on: October 09, 2012, 09:36:53 PM »
Hey Guys,

New to the forum - but looking to purchase a 50's Simplex Servi Cycle Automatic.

I'd like to be one of the first to ride one here in Australia so looking at importing it USA - AU.

Looking for a restored or used neat complete running bike with titles - want to ride it not work on it.
West coast California - preferred as I can ship out of here easily. With assistance.

Budget - dependent on whats on offer and condition.

Would love to see whats around and those who can assist.
Drop me a pm or email.

Cheers ppmurf - Australia
