Welcome to the World of Simplex. It's a lot easier to start with something complete. Take it apart, fix what needs to be fixed, and put it back together. You found the right guy in Wayne, he has all the parts, very knowledgeable, and just a great guy to deal with. Have fun with the project. That's what this is all about.

Many thanks to all the wonderful people from this site that we met at Portland. What a great bunch of folks. Willing to share ideas, stories, and information. For a first timer to Portland I thought it was first rate. Had a blast and looking forward to next year and bringing something to ride. Thanks to Rick for a ride on the Simplex Stretch. I'm sure everyone has followed this build as it progressed. Let me tell you, it rides as sweet as it looks. Hope everyone had a safe passage home. Bob

In Oklahoma we have what is called the Title 42 process. It works really well and is pretty simple to get a regular Oklahoma title for a vehicle. Here's a link: https://www.ok.gov/tax/documents/752.pdf

Simplex Sportsman / Re: How many Sportsmans do we know of their location.
« on: April 02, 2015, 06:17:42 AM »
It seems the single plug head came out with the new and improved 150cc. Along with the inboard kickstart and a few other small changes. If I am correct. The Sportsman came right after this and carried out to the end of production. I'm not sure if they ever made any dual plug 150cc engines. There wasn't many of the 150cc engines made and they are even less now. These parts are very hard to find. I have seen pictures of a Sportsman with a dual plug external kick. I don't know if it was a transplant or if Simplex built these also.

Mike is trying to round up all the parts needed. It may take time, but he would like to restore both someday.

Simplex Sportsman / How many Sportsmans do we know of their location.

I know of 4 in Oklahoma. Bob Kerr has a 58. My friend Mike has 2 big fender 1960's. I have an almost rolling 58. Even if you only have a partial Sportsman lets get it counted. I think this will be interesting to see how many we can account for that is left in existence. Thanks to Rick for getting this section up and rolling.
