I should be there by  8:30.  I may put my 1953 in the show and ride around on my 1954 rat bike.  Are you bringing anything?

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.

Try eBay.  Those are Klaxon bicycle/motorcycle horns.  They are not cheap though!
