Not particularly new news around here. But I remember watching that auction. I almost bid just so i could say I did. The thing in the back of my mind is where are and or what ever became of the other three? Supposedly two are known to have been destroyed?!?! Last I remember 1 is somewhat un-accounted for?!?! Or then again maybe Im crazy its been a couple years since these stories were circulating.

Why did Vic sell? Hard times? I would have thought this bike would stay in the family, passed on from generation to generation.
