1945 Simplex DeLuxe Super

A fascinating relic of a sadly defunct New Orleans-based motorcycle manufacturer
An example of the Servi-Cycle model, made from 1935 to 1960
Powered by a single-cylinder, two-stroke 130-cc engine, propelled by a direct drive belt linking the transmission to the rear wheel
This model allegedly came to light after its creator posed their idea of a lightweight motorcycle for young riders to Harley-Davidson, but was spurned
Accompanied by judge’s scoring sheet for Antique Motorcycle Club of America evaluation in 1998, scoring 92 out of 100
