Hey Fellow Simplex owners

I live northwest of Sulphur Louisiana about 15 miles from the Orange Tx state line.
I own the following bikes:

1948 Simplex just restored
1953 Simplex all apart with a rebuilt engine
1956 Automatic in Tuppers Museum in Jennings, La.
Several James MLs and Triumphs
Hello everyone,
Glad to see someone start a new Simplex site.  The old Simplex Collectors site just quit.
I own 3 Simplex Motorcycles:1948 I just completed restoration, 1953 basket case,1956 Restored currently in a museum. I also restored a James ML and a 1954 Triumph Terrier.

New guy here, I'll do an official intro tomorrow when I'm at my home computer and post some pics. (and ask some questions) I just got my first simplex.
Anyway, I'm in Bakersfield, CA. Grew up in Orange County and did some good years up in WA.
Want to buy; old motorbikes, old gas pumps too!

Tha Sunny South. Raleigh, NC. Been messing with Simplex for many years. Sold all I had back in2000 with the exception of one keeper and a barn queen. In 2005 a transportation museum wanted the keeper worse than I did. Now I have the barn queen and an older restored Simplex.

Hey Reggie, Would love to see those Simplexes. Particularly the 1948 as I have a '48 as well. Be neat to compare them. Post us some pics when you can.

My '56 Studebaker President came from St. George.  I remember the country side looked beautiful (in the back ground of the pictures he sent me....this was way before internet).

Jeremy, this coming June, we'll be having a ww2 reenactment at Sommers Park in Peoria.  Maybe you can come see us, or maybe I can peel away to come see your bike project.  I'm in southern Illinois, about an hour south of Effingham.
