Other Things Simplex / Re: damm
« on: May 12, 2016, 06:03:37 PM »
I know this is an old thread but read you guys are from Georgia. I worked there on a Pipeline about2009-2010 and met lots of hotrodders from Georgia. I met a guy in Thomson Georgia named Perry that owned an old Gulf station and built cars out of it. I loved Georgia. We laid a 42" line from Port Wentworth to Anderson South Carolina and I had a blast. Met a lot of good people.

Wheels & Tires / wanna trade?
« on: May 12, 2016, 04:53:49 PM »
I have a set of nice skinny tires and wheels that maybe someone restoring a bike may want to trade for the wider tires. I can send pictures of my skinnies if interested. My bike is a Mutt and thought someone may need these. Thanks TP

I bought my scooter at the "Pate" swapmeet which is north of Fort worth ,Texas. There were several built simplexes at the swap meet that were nice. Some original and most custom with later motor.. There was an Antique Motorcycle association meet there also. There were all types of bikes in the show but no simplexes. I didn't know if Portland was a Simplex only or not.

Sonriser ,thanks for posting the pictures. I get on forum every night and try to gain information. Ndian22 can you save me a little time and a lot of reading and point me to the threads that you mentioned on motors and clutches and motor mounts? I stopped at a Briggs and Stratton shop on the way end from work this evening and looked at what they offered in the upright flathead with a horizontal shaft. All they had were pictures in a book.
RickS where do I look for the GC 160, 190 and the GS motor? I believe I had rather have the Honda than the Briggs.

I keep reading about Portland. Is this the only get together for the simplex fans? I'd like to attend but hard to do that far from south Texas.

RickS, Cartjockey, and Ndian22, I actually had another simplex many years ago and used the gas tank for another build. I liked the looks of simplex but was trying to build a smaller bike for my then 6 year old son. It was a success what I did. I am working out of town and living out of motel and will get some pictures of the bike I completely fabricated when I return home this weekend.  You will  see the simplex influence in the bike. I will have to have someone post the pictures for me. I'll tell the whole story on the build when I get pictures. Ever since I cannibalized the simplex I wanted to build one. I think that I got a pretty nice bike to start with and really doesn't matter if it is a Mutt. I'm trying to figure out where to get a horizontal head, vertical shaft Honda motor. I haven't found one yet. I like the looks of the head standing up instead of the preditor angled head. Any help on where to find this is appreciated. I'm still going through post to get ideas.

Sellers love guys like me. I was told it was a 40's model. I didn't know and really didn't care. After reading hours of post from very knowledgable people I figured out I have a "mutt". Lol. I still like it. Thanks for help guys.

PD, My bike looks like the 45H type. It has no serial number either. The frame is straight with no doglegs in the frame. The front fender has a curved brace. It has skinny tires and a teardrop type taillight. Gas tank as screw on neck on right side. It may be a bunch of put together parts but I truly don't care. They are a cool looking little bike. I was going to send you pix to email but it is not listed. I have a picture of a small bobber type bike I hand built for my son in 95 I'd like to send to post also. I have owned a bunch of neat old bikes. Harleys[everybody has them] 38 famous James[sold recently], and building a 66 TT 650 triumph factory flat tracker. I also mess with old cars. I am currently building a 59 buick mild custom and just sold a 28 closed cab, chopped top, 425, 2x4 nailhead pickup. Pure hotrod

OK Ricks how do I get picture from phone to forum? That's where I have all my pictures. PD you made me go back and read. I looked on my drivers license and there is no picture. LOL. I'm terrible about proof reading. I'll try harder. There is no number under the neck. The seat spring is welded on and straight. Gas tank has screw on cap on right side, handle bars has curved mounting bracket with twist grip. Can I send a picture to someone from my phone to their phone? I know how to do that. Told you I was challenged! Also I read that round floor boards were important. Heck  it may be a bunch of parts put together, but they are nice parts for sure. kick stand is on the back also. Does any of this help?

 As all will find out in time, I am computer challenged. I have recently bought a pretty nice rolling chassis Simplex. I have contacted a couple of guys on here via email and they were very helpful. I tried logging on for several days with no luck. Anyway, I am old pipeline welder and now a construction manager for a major pipeline company. I am wanting to put a Horizontal head motor on the bike[for the look] and looking at options. I will read through all the post first and try not to ask any questions already covered. Remember me and computer are not best friends. I am currently trying to figure out what year my back is. I do not know how to post pictures but I do know how to send over the phone. I live in south Texas and currently working on project in east Texas. I also am building a 66 TT triumph bobber and a 59 buick 2 dr hrdtop. Hopefully I may be able to answer a few questions along the way. Thanks Guys looking forward to learning about my simplex. TP
