58 Simplex scooter on ebay

Note that he has the original paperwork showing frame no 17-654 and engine no M-23961-B purchased on 12-2-1959.  Says he bought at an estate sale and only has a copy of the title.  Price was $269 less a trade-in of $250 for a net cost of $19 plus tax!!

Would love to put this one in the stable!  this is the style I raced Jim Lokai on (both bikes matched) down at the Plain City Ohio show.  He got me out of the hole but I kept my head down and was gaining on him!  Was a blast that year.  Jim was great and let me ride his '37 direct.  What a treat and easier to ride then I anticipated.

I like those scooters also.  I almost traded my Sportsman for one of Jim's at Portland a couple of years ago, but decided against it.  I would like to find one without a motor, and do a conversion to a modern, electric start.

All that skirting could hide a lot of modern 'conveniences' , Rick .

I kinda like the scooters , too . Not sure , but they seem a bit longer than the bikes .
