#1,2,3  A guy was trying to sell 4 automatics.  His brother and himself and 2 nephews were each building a bike together and lost interest.  Only one had ever run, but the paint on the red/black one was awesome!
#4 had a 13hp honda clone in it.  The frame was stretched, and had a disc brake adapted to the front. 
#5,6  I think they call this a Cushman Package Car.

Your Welcome.

And last but not least a Phoenix BikeWorks frame whizzer.  I want to build one of these with a girder style or Leafspring front end!

Here's a few shots I took of Simplex's I saw on Sunday.  I'll try not to repeat any that Rick has already shown.

I took quite a few close-up shots of some of these bikes but these are the highlights.  I have read in some of the Simplex brochures that a Simplex is not only a smart purchase but a healthy one.  Portland will put years back on your life!

So here is some of the other stuff.  Camping on the grounds was awesome.  I heard the first bike of the day fire up about 6am and maybe the last shut down around 11pm. However, some guys would ride them down to the bathroom.  I enjoyed great 'shoptalk' with my neighbor each night.  After attending the show for my third time I learned how to get the VMBC license plate and that getting a camp pass from Tanya(with VMBC) was the easiest way to go. And to be casual and have a lot of fun. It's good to join the club if you haven't already as you will get into the show free each day just for showing your card and then you can park where ever you like.

Tom, when did you take that picture of the horns?  I looked them over Sunday morning & it looks like they are still all accounted for in your picture (they were certainly too spendy for my budget).
