Simplex Challenger
« on: December 18, 2021, 06:30:07 AM »
As many know, Simplex built other things besides our beloved Service-Cycles.  They had a whole line of karts, from basic to twin engine.  Check out this one currently on auction on BaT.  It is awesome!  I'd love to take it for a spin around a track.

That is awsome!  I have considered collecting karts, but have never ran across any around my area.  When I was a kid, there was kart racing and I got to drive other peoples karts.  The area had a lot of different twin and single karts.  I do not recall the brand names, but most looked like that Simplex or the early Yamaha.
