Buy, Sell, Trade / Cubine copy
« on: April 21, 2018, 10:59:41 AM »
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Simplex-Servi-Cycle-Last-One-Built-By-Cubine/292386596419?hash=item4413996643:g:iBIAAOSwTm9aREhO

Says it comes with a 1946 clear Simplex title . I guess that title is just for a wall hanging ?
How that would be any good for a new made bike is beyond me .

Other Things Simplex / Coil Resistance
« on: January 03, 2018, 10:39:36 AM »
Because our electrical / lighting seems to be marginal , at best , and in order to have this info in our data base for testing purposes :

What resistances has everyone found regarding ignition ( HT coil ) and  lighting coils ?

I think it would be nice to have that info for original Simplex as well as what ever aftermarket systems have been used . If for no other reason than comparison .

Pete . :)

Other Things Simplex / Santa on a Simplex
« on: December 24, 2017, 07:06:57 PM »
I'm very disappointed that I can't find even a single picture of old Saint Nick on a Simplex .

I have to wonder why that is .

Does anyone have such a thing ?

If I had a Santa outfit , I'd make it happen .

Other Things Simplex / Too many Moosehead Lagers
« on: December 24, 2017, 06:54:09 PM »
Even considering the difference in currency values , the prices on Canadian Ebay seem way out of line .
The sellers are dreaming or maybe we should sell our spare parts up there .

Other Things Simplex / Case Pressure
« on: December 17, 2017, 10:04:50 AM »
I seem to recall there being an amount of case pressure needed for OEM Simplex motors to run . I guess I'm using the wrong search terms , but , I can't find where I read that .
If someone can point me in the right direction , I'd appreciate it .

Thanks ,
Pete . :)

Other Things Simplex / Happy Thanksgiving :)
« on: November 22, 2017, 01:16:53 PM »
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone . :)

I hope all of you enjoy the holiday how it was meant .

My wife and I have plenty to be thankful for . Way too much to be listing here .

Example : Yesterday afternoon , we arrived , safely , in Queen Creek , Az .
We had a decent trip of 2,038 miles , but for a few 'bumps' . I think no more than any other 'road' . And , yes , it was/is fun . New scenery and people around every bend . Most of which have been pleasant .

I've been told that a frozen turkey is thawing in preparation for what looks to be a festive couple of Thanksgiving days . We haven't seen most of our Arizona relatives in many years and the stories ...

Anyway , good times . :)

Our best wishes to all of you .
