Other Things Simplex / Cushman Question
« on: March 13, 2014, 11:09:50 PM »
I am thinking of buying this 1946 Cushman.
The problem I have is there is no title, only a bill of sale.
I have never purchased a vehicle that way before.
Is there much of a problem getting a title.
Any help would be appreciated
Also can anyone tell me where the frame and engine numbers are located?
Thanks John

Has anyone tried the link-belt on the Simplex, Whizzer or others that use belts?

Other Things Simplex / Should I buy 2002 Whizzer PacemakerII?
« on: December 20, 2013, 05:43:59 PM »
A lot of Whizzer talk on the forum so I have a question.
I may buy a 2002 Whizzer Pacemaker II with 31 miles tomorrow for $1,100.
Can anyone tell me why I should not buy it or reasons to hesitate?
Being made in China I am wondering about the quality and durability.
Are parts and accessories available? Gramps

My 56 M is missing the Gas Tank Support.
Does anyone have one you would part with?
Or could you list pictures of one and measurements so I can make one.
Also explain how it works. Thanks, Gramps

Introductions / Hi from Sun City, Arizona
« on: October 07, 2013, 02:58:18 PM »
What a gold Mine I found in this Forum to help me restore my 56 M.
I just picked it up last Wednesday here in Peoria, AZ. I am the 3rd owner.
It sat in a barn for 41 years with the second owner.
It has been a real trip. The Motor Vehicle Department had a difficult time figuring out what it was when I registered it. Then I had the same problem with the insurance company.
I have been involved in two wheeled motor vehicles most of my life.
Started with a well-used Whizzer at 13. At 14 I had a mustang. In this picture in 1948 of me on the mustang, to my left is a childhood friend Billy Jo Jackson on a Simplex. He was a flying missionary and was killed in a crash somewhere in South America. I am going to name my “M” Billy Jo in his memory.
I haven’t had a two wheel ride in a couple of years and was having withdrawals so I was looking for something I could afford and handle at almost 80 and that is not MPH.
I have two websites, the US Scooter Museum and US Mini Bike Museum.
You can enter either one from this link. http://www.usscootermuseum.com/
I would like to put a link to this forum on my Simplex page in US Scooters if it is ok with you. John
