Hi guys ,

I'm Pete and have owned my Simplex since I was 14 ( I'm 62 , now ) . Bought it for $15 and it ran , then . I use to have a registration for it , but the years have a way of hiding things that are left in the back ground too long . Anyway , it's a 1957 Automatic . The year I'm not positive on as it could be a '58 .
I'll have to check the frame # against what ever knowledge I can pry out of you folks .
It's mostly there except the exhaust and the handle bar controls . I haven't had it running in the last 47 years , but that will hopefully change this Winter .
We spent the Summer in West Michigan ( our original 'home' ) and I decided to take the Simplex South so I'd have something to do over the Winter .

We live in our motor home and host campgrounds for something to do . That makes projects a bit limited depending on the facilities that the campgrounds we host have . Thankfully , our Winter commitment at Payne Lake in Alabama has a heated shop for my pain and pleasure .

I've talked with Wayne M over the phone a few years ago and from what I understand , he lives a couple hours North of where we'll spend the Winter . I'd like to travel to his place and meet him , but we'll have to see how things work out .

I'm very glad that this forum is as active as it is . I'm sure I'll find a few things to ask about and comment on .

Good to be here .
