[QUOTE="Debbie Kemp, post: 1983, member: 3717"] [b]The sympathy vote[/b] Those that couldn't see their bids through (due to genuine reasons) shouldn't be named and shamed. Just imagine it was you and then think about how gutted they must be feeling right now....so near and yet so far:( The fact remains that they were the only people who made bids higher than the reserve price, which I imagine was probably set to cover costs. In a club of over 2,000 members, maybe we shouldn't spend our time slating two people who had to withdraw their bids. Whoever it ends up with, by whatever means, I just hope that the Black Shadow goes to someone who will genuinely want it as a bike to be ridden and enjoyed, not an investment piece that is hidden away or re-sold straight away to make someone else rich.:) [/QUOTE]
