    An interesting old jigger. A motorised bicycle showing the origins of motor-cycling coming from bicycle makers.

    I am surprised by the high bid, and more surprised by that bid not meeting the reserve.

    These early veterans are really just curiosities to be displayed and admired. They really are not fit or safe for road use in modern traffic. Almost non-existent brakes for a start, often no clutch. At least this one has a lighting system. Up until about 1930, motor-cycles could be bought and registered without lights.

    I go to the swap meet there every year. Quite a good one.

    I know a few enthusiasts who have had issues with the operators about displaying their bikes there. If you are contemplating loaning a bike for display, you need to go into the ground rules and costs thoroughly first.
