Who's going to Portland this summer?

Only 6 weeks away, I am working to get my latest project finished before then!

I plan on being there. This is my second year. Still a rookie.

I don't even get a magazine without a phone call!  LOL

Are you camping?  I'm at the Holiday Inn, that's my idea of camping.

Were not camping either. Also at the Holiday Inn. Plan on arriving on Wednesday. Stayed in Decatur last year. It was a drag making the trip back and forth.
I never got to meet you last year but I tried to hook up. (bought one of your shirts) Ended up talking to and emailing you last year after Portland about registering an Simplex in NYS. Maybe be you remember me?
Anyway I've getting stoked for Portland.  :)

Me too! This will be my second year. Still a rookie. Can't wait to meet you guys in person. Looking to hang out on Simplex hill.
I've sent my membership renewal in but haven't seen any response yet. Has anyone else gotten a response back for re-upping?

I would also like to offer a round of applauds to Rick! I've been away from the site over the winter but now that the weather is getting better up here in NYS I back to thinking about bikes again. It is a pleasure to see that this site is still up and running strong. Thank you for keeping ti alive.

I know what you mean. I've been looking at replacing the tail light bulbs with LEDs. Got a couple on order... We will see how that goes.
I already have an LED for the headlight but I would have to HACk the reflector to make that work. If i can find a replacement reflector I would give that a try... Still thinking about that.

Hey,

I buttoned up the wiring last weekend and now I have lights.
About the only thing left is to hang the decals.  :)

Hi all,

Got the bike running this weekend. Here is a video of my first ride.
Not sure how well the video is. I have a better one but I don't think it will post.
If you'd like the better one, email me and I will send it to you.

Pete,

I'm already thinking about what I want to do next. Maybe I'll find something in Portland next year.

Hey,
I know I've been slacking. Funny how life gets in the way of your hobbies.
BTW still looking for any thoughts on my mystery part.

Anyway...
I've made some progress.
I have the tranny pulleys put together properly. I done quite a bit of assembly. Take a look.

Hi All,

It's been a while. Had a wedding in the Great White North last weekend. Then I had realized that I forgot to put the spacer in the tranny pulleys before I put it back together. Had to destroy the one of bearings to take it back apart. Waiting on replacement. Also... after learning about how the throttle worked I realized that my pressure relief and the throttle cables were short. Had to order longer ones...
This weekend is the Holiday so not much got done but I did enjoy the weather and friends/family.  :)

Now I need the forum's help again.
The Mystery Part  ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
I can't believe that I don't have a picture of where this part goes. I have about 200 of the bike before disassembling.  :-\
I think ??? it has something to do with cable retention but I can not figure out where it goes.
Any thoughts?

Hey Milt,

What year(s) were marked on the baskets?
