Note it did not meet reserve at $8601 when it was on CL at $8500  [?]  Bet the second to last bidder thought he had it when he bid $8501...  Little did he know there was one more bid to come [?][?]

Interesting ST Penton concept. Bike sold at a fair market value. Move on Penton ST's. The mark moves forward with restorers and confidence.

Hold on to your hats boys and girls. Hedge funds are now buying vintage racing bikes and vintage dirt bikes.

What are "Hedge Funds"?

Mick,

That is the money required to fix your neighbor's shrubbery when your kid rides your Penton through them.

Actually, from investapedia

"Legally, hedge funds are most often set up as private investment partnerships that are open to a limited number of investors and require a very large initial minimum investment. Investments in hedge funds are illiquid as they often require investors keep their money in the fund for at least one year."
