Portland 2011 pictures

What a great bunch of photos. Thanks so much Rick. The fellow with the Simplex 3 wheeler takes that bike to all of the shows and generally rides it around. When John Cubine was building the repo Simplex bikes he complained that federal laws required him to put the lights on. Front and rear and turn signals and front and rear brakes so they would pass a safety inspection.

The fellow with the simplex truck is Bob Legron.  Really nice guy, we talked for a couple of hours over the 3 days I was there.  He wrote the section on the simplex scooters in Gary Wollard's book about simplex.  He is a wealth of information as is Bob Kerr from Oklahoma, who I also met there.  The other 2 trucks belong to Jim Lokai, they are semi-original, but do not have the correct drives in them as they were missing when he acquired them.
