Mike, Thanks for the update there. I will correct the listing as I purchased this one as year unknown. Mark

Hello, I understand. This is my First motorcycle and always wanted a classic. No not the one I currently have on Ebay but the other Sportsman I bought at the sale. I never really knew of these bikes until last week and frankly Love the look and simplicity. I must argue the point of the Roll bars though, I did purchase a small lot of books (5) by Gary and in it he states the early sportsman had them and they disappeared after 57. Needed at least one general book and a service manual to have a clue of what to do.

Whats wrong with it? Did I describe it incorrectly? It's one I purchased at the sale and figured I had better list it now before everyone else.... Looks like I may get to keep my other roller ;D

Yep, He bought enough to fill a few trailers. Funny thing is I was just up in his area last weekend visiting my parents and my Dads Company is in Decatur. Dies he have a website? I have a feeling I am going to be purchasing many parts I passed over at the auction to put the Sportsman back together.

I did not buy any of the repops knowing that the market would be flooded with them in a short time. Only went for originals. The manuals I purchased were for the Simplex M Automatics and got them dirt cheap $35 for 3.

Hello, Thanks for the welcome. There where at least 4 out of the area buyers and I was not part of the "Club". One guy purchased a TON of parts, I believe that to be Wayne. Another guy from the either NC or SC purchased many rollers and I think the Yellow Restored One as well as the Scooter and Truck. The $10 wheels went local and they where VERY NICE. The bidder on the wheels will be selling them soon. He bought a semi-roller that needed a rear tire.  I was just running out of cash, I only brought 2k for the sale and purchased alot of tools as well as Simplex items.

Hello, I was there. The wheels that went for $3 were rusted out hulks. Purchased 2 Rollers One for $675 (53 Sportsman) and the other a 55 for $350. Also picked up ORIGINAL Manuals, Parts and Plaques from the 1st Simplex Festival. Alot of fun but we were all tired by the end of the sale. Most of us had been there since 9am. Luckily I am local to the area.

 Going to list the Roller once on Ebay, if it doesn't sell Strip and sell off the parts. Keeping the Sportsman. I had to laugh at the guys buying mudflaps and duplicate manuals knowing they would be cutting each others throats on Ebay instead of hold then sell. They proved me right.
