Glad I waited until today to go as the weather was much improved from yesterday. I met Bruce and Ken, who are building the 3 wheel truck replicas. We chatted about all things Simplex for a long while.
The only downside today was, as I went to unload my rat bike to ride around, it had a flat tire! I rode the 1953 around a little and then put it in the show. I found a guy that had a used tube for sale for $2, but I looked around for a bicycle pump in the swap, but I couldn't find one. After I unloaded the bikes, I put air in the tire and it is holding pressure. I took the bike to a show during the week and it was fine when I put in the trailer.
Here are a couple of pictures of some interesting things from the show.
The COE had a hydraulic lift that raised the bikes on the platform into the bed.
I really like those Morgan 3 wheelers! There is a company making a modern replica with a harley motor now.
That was the only other Simplex I saw.
