Wooden floorboard covers?  Was that a real "thing", or just somebodies idea?

Sonrisers is a wood worker and made them.  They were in a box of parts I bought from him.  If anybody wants them, let me know.  I think he said they are made of mahogany.

There were more Simplex bikes there than anything but the Cushmans. Not very many guys had one...there were gobs of em everywhere and on trucks or trailers.  Seems they're all being found and dragged out.
  I've struggled with if few things of late or I woulda thrown he truck together. Next year I guess.

Finally got a chance to get on here. We had the best time we've ever had at Portland this year. Only had 26 Simplexs' this year for the group photo, but it was still a lot of fun. We were able to play instead of just pop corn the whole time. It was hot, but worth the trip. it was nice meeting new people and the same crowd. The floor boards are walnut, and I would have used them, but then I found some tread plate and had it powder coated.They would look nice with a few coats of clear, and the back side routed with the same round over bit.

For those of us who couldn't attend, how were the prices for the bikes and other items that were for sale? Were they reasonable, overpriced etc.?

Just curious,

I thought prices on everything at the meet were about the same as in the past....not sure about the simplex parts as the guys had them all scooped up by the time we got there, but I think they got some good deals.  Bob Legron was selling some of his excess parts.

I got some good deals on bicycle parts.  I haven't been able to find any used parts here locally, but at Portland, there was a whole stack of them on the ground & the guy said, take them all...they're free....& I bought new fenders for 2.00 a pair....
