Ok - the first Aussie owned Simplex (not in a museum) pics!

Ok gents,

Now that the bike has arrived at my shipping company - and is official mine.
It will soon start the journey over the pond.
Very happy to have this on its way.

Bought from a great guy in LA a 45 Simplex.
Came with 4 original 2 tyres - 2 nos and a spare engine.

Congrats!  And welcome into the rocker clutch club!  Looks like a great ride.

Looks awesome! 

Spair engine = second bike in my books

Brian Cullen (spelling), who also lives in Australia, owns a Servi-Cycle.  Brian attended the Simplex show in Hammond, Louisiana, in 1993. Unfortunately, I do not have a contact number for him.  Very nice bike in the pictures!!  Mike

Cool--Mine is a '45 also but not that nice or complete.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the comments.

Spare engine - hmm I know of a frame here in AU.
I will contact the owner see if he wants a build.
I am broke by the time it lands - LOL.
But I did give it a second thought.

Another Simplex in Australia = Awesome.

Is Brian a member here?

[mike montgomery]

Ric can answer about Brian having a membership here.  I don't recall ever seeing a post from him.  I haven't talked with Brian since I was visiting Gary Wollard in 2004, and he happened to call during my visit.  How about it Larry Brown?  Do you have any contact info for Brian Cullen?  Mike

No I can't.  There is no requirement to give a real name when you sign up for membership, and most do not.

Rick, Wow, so I learn something new this morning about the website.  It just never dawned on me not to use my name.  So, if, in fact, Brian is a subscriber to this website, maybe he will respond to this thread! Mike

So ppmurf,
Any word on the Simplex yet, or do you have an arrival date?
Had a Messerschmitt shipped from the UK once.
I didn't sleep for a month.
Let us know when it arrives and get someone to take a couple of pictures of the baby's arrival.
Cheers
Stafford

Stafford - I was told it loaded last week - I estimate a month or so.
Not nervous most days I forget I bought it. LOL

But pics and vid of first ride to come July fingers crossed.
